We have launched our new website after 12 months hard work getting it ready @

www.yorkshiredales-stay.co.uk

If you see any errors do let us know

It looks very nice, not noticed any obvious problems. Good luck with it.

Looks really good, but I have 3 concerns...


1. You have used an image for the main 'heading' on the page, but not put it in '<h1>' tags, or provided an appropriate 'alt' text that actually reflects what the image says

2. Another image used for 'Search Accommodation by' but it's a background image so no 'alt' text. Neither is the text anti-aliased and so looks a bit sharp

3. You have a chunky footer, but nothing in it. Looks a little bit lost to me

Otherwise, lovely site!

loving the site!

i hope its successful, and becomes full of hotels, and caravan parks etc...


it looks brilliant, i havnt looked at the coding or anything like Satyr has. I made a promise to myself when i quit the web development business to stay away from code.

From an SEO point of view you have obviously done your research.

Nice Silo'd Categories
Rich title Keywords
Search Engine Friendly Url's
Good keyword density for Yorkshire dales
High Page Rank 4

Just a couple of things I would add:-
Your title for the home page - Stayin The Yorkshire Dales | Accommodation Yorkshire | Yorkshire Hotels | Yorkshire Cottages - Move the Stayin the Yorkshire dales - to either the end of the tag, or remove it altogether.

Like Satyr advises your wasting an opportunity with regards to your footer, to have some keywords here, especially the areas you cover. See this website ( http://www.handyman.com/) how to geo target keywords easily in your footer.

Url's like this http://www.yorkshiredales-stay.co.uk/search/all-regions/all-towns/Caravan-Parks/all-villages/all-specialities/ might be a little long for Google, depending on what platform the site is built on you might want to consider, changing the url structure to something shorter.

Good job though, visually stunning

Kind Regards

or try finding a domain name based on the most important search term somebody would use to find your site; we found a highly relevant domain name for a sheffield based cleaning business and they tell me that their sales enquiries have rocketed.

I agree with Steve, however it looks like you have this already with 'Yorkshire Dales in your url'. Another thing to be wary of when changing your domain name, is losing all your page rank. If you change your domain you need to redirect the old domain to the new domain, Otherwise all your SEO efforts, will have been wasted, and you will have to start again.

changing domains can be a nightmare worth staying away from. If you have a good URL to begin with (and i think you have) i would leave it how it is.

You could have multiple sites; use the same design template and populate with new content and link back to your main site.

Google is pretty smart these days...if you are going to use your own sites to link back to yourself make sure they are relevant and on different servers - Google will know if you set up 5 websites on your hosting account then link them all to the main one or to each other.

Anything that is done as a way of bypassing the natural link building system can never work 100% in your favour.

One of my clients changed their PR5 website URL and within a couple of months everything was back to where it was.

Site looks very nice, very 'clean', plenty of relevant info accessible from the home page

Absolutely right!. It's best to use different C-Class IP addresses if your linking between your own sites and also make sure (if you can) that the domain registrar details are different. I have heard that Google is being sneaky and looking at details held by nominet.

How is that sneaky?

Interesting and it makes absolute sense that they do this.

I'll monitor links from my sister sites closely in Google webmaster tools; thanks for the input.

At least somebody appreciated the comment. Thank you Steve.
