sh 08 17 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 just a little suggestion mate. All that 'text' on the front page. Split it up a bit, into a couple of paragraphs. Its just a little thing, but makes it more read-able Told you it would be done by the weekend lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skellyb 8 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 First step would be to bin whoever has "designed" (handley scudamore) the site. It seems to be made up of lots of images (gifs) so no search engine will be able to read the content and without the search engines you are going to struggle. For instance the text has been cleaned up (but still needs work) but if you look at the source (which is what the search engines read)there is no text. You also need to get rid of all those links, if you must have them put up a links/resources page. Lots of other stuff but don't have the time now. pm me if you need further help/advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skellyb 8 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 As i said before, your first step is to bin the design as you need something written in html. next you need to work out what it is you are selling, is it hunting holidays or holidays with the option of hunting. front page should be simple with not too much detail but including phrases which people use to search in google etc. For instance no'one searched google uk last month for hunting weekends but 390 looked for hunting holidays. 73 searched for hunting trips.Farm and cottage holidays had 5400 searches, farm holidays 2400. Holidays with dogs 2400,dog holidays 1600. Think you will better off concentrating on the holiday accomodation with options (especially concentrating on dog aspect). You need seperate pages detailing each type of accommodation and prices. You need decent written directions not juts a google map. You need a page giving brief details of options and then a seperate page for each option in detail. Gallery page with photos farm and area. Area details page, what else people can do. Should be enough for starters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sh 08 17 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 You need decent written directions not juts a google map No to be honest people will only poach if they no where things are ie trout lakes and other things that may or may not be on the farm. Full directions will be posted to people when they book. But it's a good thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skellyb 8 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 If you look at any site which offers fishing ALL will have directions, are you saying they all will suffer from poachers, LOL?. You need direction page to help in search engines so that people searching for trout fishing hereford, farm holidays hereforshire or whatever find your site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
