My partner and I have a website that puts together all kinds of tours of Mexico for people. I think we have great products at great prices. We have a great website that cost us a lot of money to have designed. There's just one problem, we are getting very little traffic. So, I'm sure you can guess that we aren't making any money.

It is our understanding that search engines can bring a lot of traffic to a site, but that hasn't been our experience. We have listed our site with several of pay-per-click engines and we have a top listing with all of them with key phrase "Mexico Vacation Tours." But we are only getting a few hits a week. We don't know what's wrong.

Dear Defeated,

==> Similarity #1

Search engines do not like frames so don't use them or put in < no frames > tag.

==> Similarity #2

Titles should have key word in it and not be longer then 75 characters. Less is even better. Make sure your title starts with key word if you can.

==> Similarity #3

Each web page should have a different key word in title but be part of a theme. Search engines look for consistent keywords throughout your site.

For instance, < title >Golf tips by Butch Harmon at nationalgolfer.com < itle > on one page, < title > Free golf putting tips by David Leadbetter at nationalgolfer.com < itle > on another page or even < title >Golf products to improve your golf game at nationalgolfer.com < itle> on a third page. Each title has word golf so search engine spider knows site must pertain to golf -- which it does. Hey, nobody ever accused these robots of being smart.

==> Similarity #4

Meta name description and keyword tags are accepted by some but not all; therefore, keep your description to a minimum length and keyword tag to only one or two. Spend your time on a pithy, short one line description sentence which includes your keyword at start of sentence but will also entice person viewing to click on link.
