Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
Thanks for adding your site to our directory
I really like it, and think you've been doing a good job.

first thing I see is on the flash page, I would add and alt="" text in the link.. something like "GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activity Forum"


I have some more suggestions, but we'll start here.. I see you got the ? dropped on your forum/navbar link ;)

cheers

Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
Well, I have been making as many changes as I know how to.

The intro page is actually and animated .gif that I made and then linked the picture to the 'home' page. Do you think that the picture will index better than flash?

I even put some text behind the picture...will this work or merely look like I am being shady to a spider?

Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
looks legit to me, do you know what I mean by alt tag ?
like

<img src="http://site.com/pic.gif" alt="go take a hike" board="0"/>

Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
like mouse over my logo for vBulletinSetup in the top left of the site.. you'll see some text like "vBulletin SEO Services" or something close to that..

that's your alt text in html

cheers

Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
Thank you so much for all of this help.

I see my alt text as the same as yours, except it doesn't pop up. I will investigate.

Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
also I would hard code a few links to a few key parts of the forum under the image on the splash page.. this will help the bots find your content.


and then the next major thing I would work on is your forum descriptions.. This is a great place to add keyword rich text to your indexed pages.
If you look at most the ones I have here, you'll notice that they are pretty wordy and have some good keywords in them.
I did this more on the forums that are about vbulletin help, and not so much on the off topic forums.. I'd rather have the content releated to vbulletin vs the other.
I would take the same into consideration on your site. On the forums that are about hiking and outdoor activities, I would put some more work in those descriptions..

cheers

Re: GoTakeAHike.com -- Outdoor Activties
Ok, I put some links under the picture, and am slowly changing some of the pages insid eof the site to BBcoded modules instead of Iframes to my modifyed pre-existing pages.

I think this will help with content, no?
