Main page header?

Recommended Posts

I am new to the Web Store life. My website has been up for a couple of months and I have some questions. I noticed on Google the page is not getting picked up from the crawlers. What can I do? Google recommends adding a kind of code to the main page header but I can't find it. Everytime I try to do a test from Google, it says it can't locate it. Wrong page. Where is the main page header?

 

Also, when I type in actual web address into google, it picks up this; https://rs479.securehostserver.com/~racetec...ut_shipping.php. Not the main page. How do I fix that.

 

Thanks for the help!

To get a better response on google you might want to add a few more keywords in your header. You currently have

 

<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT=" High performance racing parts"

 

Seperate keywords with comma's (so you could have this list "high performance, racing, parts, cars, racing parts, performance racing parts"). The more your keyword appears the more likely you are to score for that word, but... overdo it and you will not score at all. Its a fine balance. Many sites talk about getting good results on search engines, so do a google and find out more about getting high on searches.

 

However, google is slightly different to the others. Google also uses something called Page Rank to determine if your worth listing on the first few pages. The page rank (PR) is achieved by getting other sites to link to you. If you have the google bar installed on your browser, you will see your sites PR. A good starting rank is 2-3 and anything above this is a popular site indeed. Google itself only gets 9/10 which always makes me wonder what is a 10/10 PR... lol

 

If a PR 5 ranked site links to your your PR will increase but if a PR rank 0 links to you, then no change. The higher the PR rank of sites linking to you will directly determine the rank you get.

 

Makes me wonder why no one ever includes their store URL on here because that would actually form a link to your site and therefore generate PR (I don't because I am still working on multiple designs and have not launched any so far).
