New Site SEO Help!

**smallbusinessworld** · 23-04-09

Hi Guys,

Had my site live for a couple of months Welcome to Small Business World - smallBusinessWorld and were not getting much in the way of serious organic traffic.

Relaise it takes some time to get results but we think weve got some decent content up there and joomla seo plugins etc - were working on updating all meta keywords and descriptions and busy linkbuilding.

Can any SEO experts spot any obvious things that need tackled or positive advice for me?

thanks in advance!

Ok

what sort of keywords are you looking to rank for?

Well the main thing now is to build links into the site.
Write great content that people will want to link to and have a look at other similar sites to see who links to them and why

Not really you just need links now.
Keep putting content out on your site, get involved with social media around small businesses, look at econsultancy.com and see how they do it.

I have noticed you have no meta keywords or meta description on your homepage. It is not really used much by the search engines any more however, it is good practice to have it. Often Google will use your meta description as the description for your natural search listing.

You also have no header tags on your homepage e.g <h1>, <h2>, and you could try bolding certain keywords.

Hi smallbusinessworld,

You have a very valuable domain name there. Why don't you consider starting a forum on there?

thanks guys - wanted to start a forum after we generated some traffic, theres nothing worse than a forum that isnt really active.

Any other tips?

thanks
