Without looking get it off geocities. Proper hosting isn't expensive.

Welcome Mr Bailey!

OK, in no particular order, and bearing in mind that I have rarely been described as an expert.

- Splash out the £20 for a domain and hosting - free sites don't inspire confidence. That's an imperative if you're dealing in financial services

- fix your homepage title:
"uk Mortgages - compares various uk mortgage lenders and there interest rates" - should be "... their interest rates"

- shorten it while you're there:
"uk Mortgages - compare uk mortgage lenders and interest rates", hence better keyword density (your keyword for this page is "UK mortgage", right?

- fix your metatags:
-- all should be within the head tags
-- Title should be first
-- Tighten up the description from:
"Compare the best mortgage rates, uk mortgage such as easy loans and c us 4 rights to buy e-loans,compare the service of uk mortgage and loan providers. Ensure that you get the best loan rate." to something like:
"Compare UK mortgages and mortgage rates. We help you get the best uk Mortgage rate."

- what is the ton of calls to img src="http://www.geocities.com/clipart/pbi/c.gif for? Remember a search engine spider has to read all that stuff before it gets to the content of your page. Find a better way to do whatever they do.

- put alt= tags on all your images. Spiders can't read images so you need to help them. Use your keywords appropriately in your alt tags

- Your intro is badly written, ungrammatical and has typos. It doesn't inspire any confidence. Tell visitors what you offer and why you are good people to deal with - and make sure it reads correctly, is spellchecked etc. Then think about how to get your keyword, for this page only, into the text. But do it in a natural fashion - don't shoehorn the keywords in.

- personally, I'd slaughter the pigs. I want a grown up's loan, not a toddler's piggy bank

- the space and position the pigs take up is just too valuable to waste with a nonsense graphic. Put your best sales pitch there, in prime position. Or a smaller graphic linking to a merchant with some good, well written text.

- repeat the process on all other pages - decide what the page is about, write with that in mind. In other words, focus your thinking and your writing.

OK, that'll do for now.

Hope it helps a bit - You do know that is one seriously competitive and highly regulated field you're taking on, don't you?

Do a google search for "uk mortgage" and see how many sites you're up against.

OK, that'll do for now

I know that the area that i am in is probabaly the most popular in the internet what can be more popular then loans and mortgages right know. So i think i am going to look for better keywords that are not used as often as "uk mortgages"

I am thinking about getting a hosting site they are pretty cheap. The only thing is i live over sees so if i purchase web hosting in canada or the us is there anyways to promote my site in the uk or will i have to purchase a web hosting service from the uk. This is the delimma i am in.

And thank you very much for that feeback.

If you're looking for UK traffic then its best to go for a UK server. You should be able to get UK hosting living abroad.....

Could I suggest that you build a site around a topic that you are (a) interested in, and (b) have a reasonable amount of knowledge in.

Finance is seriously competitive, and difficult to niche out into specialist areas without signficant knowledge.

What sort of hobbies are you interested in. Could you find something to bring in a revenue stream off the back of that.

And as said on the other thread, get a full domain and host!
