Slick, well presented, and comes across with the message.

Tweak your top menus as they do not quite line up.

Now start to work on the seo side: You have far to many keywords.

Keywords meta tag contains too many keywords.
This tag contains 233 keywords. This is too many for what we would consider a 'robot friendly' keywords tag. The maximum number of keywords we recommend for this tag is 20.

WOW David!
Thank You so much for your input! I will fix my metatags right now.
BTW...for SEO...Do you have a easy video sitemap generator so I can submit this to Google?
Thanks again for your help!

Hmmm I seen Brutal and had to stop by...

Curious why you bothered to make a video about richrn.com then redirect them to this site? Either its this biz or its the rich rn biz? did richrn ever exist? If it did why redirect it to this? I would think the former would be easier and gather more traffic. If you did it as a cloaking thing.. google will smack you far harder than i ever would. If I be YOU id fix the video.. not refer to the other at all if possible.

Hi Karen
Thanks a bunch for your input! I have tried to change the url to richrn.com but haven't figured out how to do it yet. I would rather have richrn.com for this site...any suggestions?
Thank you for your honesty!

Hello David,
I did not find the VIDEO site map under the tools bar...do I have the old edition? Is there any place I can get a video site map...that isn't too complicated?
Thank you for your patience and assistance!

Sorry if I appear to be a party pooper but.....is it possible to cut your page width down to a 1000 so that we can get rid of the horizontal scrolling? That way you'll cater for 95% or more of your audience.

Also because I use dial-up, things happen a lot slower. Your site loaded with a sort of "water in a swimming pool" background which made the print unreadable. When I came back 30 seconds later a light blue background was starting to overlay the water image so I hung around. If I was an ordinary visitor who had just found your website, it would probably only taken me 10 seconds to decide I couldn't be bothered trying to read the blurb and would have moved on to find another site.

Hey,
Thanks for your input!

Do you own that domain? Then ADD it to your cpanel, publish your site there, login in to your domain registrar and Point the domain to your vodahosting..

Karen

Hi, ditto with the page width, you have it set at (width:1203px) & would be better around the 800/1000 mark.
Sorry to say that many of the pages are totally un-readable with fire fox with images & text overlapping..

Good luck.

Thanks Chris...not certian what to do about the overlapping problems with firefox? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Russ

Re-arrange your text blocks using FF to check and the rest should be reasonable.

Hi, as David says is good. But also try keeping your text in one box as much as possible, & using tables in one block for your text works well.
IE: 1 column & 10 rows if needed.

Hi David,
Thanks for the info...how do I check with FF? Is this a download I need?
Completely foriegn stuff...again.
Thanks for your help!
Russ

Also, I still haven't found how i can do a VIDEO sitemap for Google. I didn't find it in my tool box, only the regular sitemap...
Any more suggestions?
Thanks a Ton!

Always helps if you use google to GOOGLE

Karen

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the tip...actually I did google it. Found some code to put SOMEWHERE on the site but have no idea where or how to revise the script...just looking for a video sitemap tool that is user friendly like the sitemap tool in our toolbox!
Is there such a thing?
Thanks for your help!

FF is short for firefox (web browser).......download free copy whenever you wish

Got it!
Thank you!

dunno if its free, but its the first one i found

Karen

Hi Karen,
Thanks...I did download this one. The problem remains that I have to re-work the code and submit it on this tool page...I haven't the savvy to put this code together as yet.
Maybe you know...do I have to have a video sitemap to stay in favor with google? Or will they bust me down for not having one. I didn't get a clear answer from the Google people...
Thank you for your great help!
Russ

Well.. only if you want your video indexed and included as content, or if you want people to search to find it..etc...If you just have ONE video id think its hardly worth the effort, however.. every little bit helps.
