Please note that these reviews are only about SEO and never about the visual experience of a website.

When I open the website there is a nice flash animation that shows some quotes. I assume they are written or told by actual customers. Although it’s a good thing to show what people like, using flash in an intro page is never a good idea for SEO.

1. Can search engines browse through this website properly?

This brings me to tip number 1: Get rid of the introduction page and add the flash animation to the first real webpage with text. Not only are search engines a bit confused about your content (they can’t read flash well), your visitors also will be lost and click away from your website, before opening the real webpages.

2. Is there enough interesting information for tourists?

Tip number 2 is about the text and content on the website. There should be more webpages with interesting information. At this moment there are only 3 webpages.  Country Pleasures needs to create a lot more pages with free information about Angaston and its surroundings. Make it interesting for tourists! Show them why they should choose for Angaston.

3. Are the webpages optimized for the right keywords?

Optimizing the webpages for important keywords is tip number 3. Currently the most important keywords (accommodation Angaston and Angaston hotels) are not optimized on the website. They need to be added to the <title> and <meta name=description> of the first webpage. Find more keywords with the Google AdWords Keyword Tool.

4. Are there many quality links to your website?

The last important tip, number 4, is that Country Pleasures needs to collect a lot more links on other websites, pointing to their webpages. With only 18 incoming links to the current website, search engines will not think the website is important or needs to be listed in search engines for specific keywords.

Get more links by using the methods listed in my older posts:

• Travel Linkbuilding with Google Search
• Quick Start Guide for Travel Linkbuilding

Thanks to Country Pleasures and I hope you will get started with improving your SEO right away.
