My site is ALIEN BABBLE
Since you know about SEO stuff, maybe you can suggest some changes to XF's developers by posting a thread on the suggestions forum
I LOVE the site
awesome graphics Who's your graphic designer? I need some custom work done for mine too OK, see this?
content="alien, ufo, paranormal, conspiracy theory, cryptozoology, forum, forums"
remove the "forums", it's not needed, it's classed as duplicate keyword stuffing and searching engines ignore plurals.
and remove "forum" as well to be honest, its not needed, you can have this in your meta description instead. works just as well and keeps your keyword density score high for the MAIN phrases you want to rank for
also, remove the comma's
Why? then you'll have a mixture of keyword phrases.
ie
alien ufo paranormal conspiracy theory forum
alien ufo paranormal conspiracy
ufo paranormal conspiracy theory
ufo paranormal conspiracy
alien ufo
etc, etc, and so on
otherwise you're just asking to rank for "ufo", "alien", etc etc which is really hard.
You also have to consider something else. When you are searching for phrases that you want to rank for and you're checking google, etc, the more you search for these phrases, Google will create a profile based on your searches so they will push the relevant site up, ie, yours to the top, and when someone else searches it wont appear in the same rank/position.
One of the best ways to get around that is either a) delete all temps, cookies and cache from your computer then run the search again - but you will have to do it on each search. b) The other is to use incognito mode on your browser, and c) and lastly use a proxy IP address. Then you will get the true result of that GEO-IP location. ie, UK, USA, AUS, EU, etc, etc
Also, I don't see any Google Analytics on your website, add that to your pages, it will help google understand more what your web page is about. And you will be able to figure out where the highest bounce rates are so you can improve that page so people dont leave your site so quickly.
Your home page is not very intutiive, lacks menus, even though there is a menu icon on the far right, you have to remember there are not many people online who can surf websites well. so you have to SHOW them where the links to your inner pages are.
AND make sure your website does not load via WWW. using a web site that loads WWW. in the domain, is insecure. make sure it defaults to Non-www.
Plus WWW. is a keyword phrase and it's unrelated to your website.
see this?
Aliens, UFOs, Conspiracies, Cryptozoology, Paranormal & More. Come Explore The Enigma!
this is your description, it's very WEAK
Who searches for "and more"?
or who searches for "come explore the enigma"??
no one! so you're hurting your SEO score. your decryption is like the preface of a book before you buy to read the entire novel.
see this?
Although the content is good, it has no seo factors. there are no links hyperlinking to other parts of your page and or to another resource. ie, wiki-pedia, remember that the better you improve user experience the better you rank. and it reduces the bounce rate so you rank higher.
Imagine, if you were Google and you had a list of websites in its index, would you come back to Google as a customer to search for something if you knew the web results were bad, ie, the sites it shows at the top that dont help you in anyway? I wouldn't... so, the more you improve on this, the more Google will reward you
The content above in your article has no related phrases. FORCE these phrases in.
You could say something similar to this, so this is part of your article:
Did you know that my avatar drawing is from an real encounter with an unknow being?
to
Did you know that my spaceman/astronaut suit avatar drawing is from an real encounter with an Alien from outer space, i know this all sounds like alien ufo conspiracy, but its true!
another thing too, is you are using a 3rd party link to produce that image.. that's BAD.
see here?
gZAn2QB.jpg ??? thats BAD
save the image, upload it, and name the image file name: spaceman-suit-astronaut.jpg and give it a ALT tag of: "Spaceman Suit confronts Alien from outer space".
See what we did here?
adding related phrases, so now you have a page that is more explanatory and the image will show up in the image search engine results too based on that phrase in the ALT tag AND the file name You also have words like "READ MORE HERE".. no, that's bad.. be more specific, "Read more about Alien Conspiracy theories", etc, etc, so what you are doing is hyperlinking a keyword phrase to another inner page, or 3rd party resource, this all helps user experience. they'll keep coming back to your site to search for more information as you try to become an authority in that niche
See this here?
This should be at the bottom... Google reads content from the top to the bottom. so its best to put all the related info at the top.
The forum descriptions you have, seem to be ok, this is how your meta description should be.
xenForo need to work on their RSS feeds too, they are not human readable
any way keep practicing those type of things and remember, mainly to link up resources across your pages, and see if you can hack the HTML code to put rel="nofollow" on member pages, contact us, etc, etc so you can control the flow of the page rank. you dont want to have PR assigned to contact pages, TOS, privacy terms, etc, etc. it's a waste of ranking power.
I hope this helps
