This category is about SEO. I’d be interested in seeing how you’d answer Steve’s question.

Here’s how I’d answer it:

Steve, your website is not optimized to appear in the search engine results pages for terms that relate to your products. For example:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Astevepatterson.com

Nearly all the pages in the search results have the exact same irrelevant title (a major keyword factor), with the exception of your homepage, which only says “Home”.

I recommend including several of your most competitive search terms within your homepage title and meta description, and creating one unique subpage within your website for each product. This way, users searching for “how to be a better sales person” will see your “How to Be a Better Sales Person” title in the first search result in Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

Assuming your heading (h1), subheadings (h2s), image names and content include intuitive and semantic representation of your keyphrase, you should have absolutely no trouble earning traffic from the few people searching for that particular query.

Then again, if you had done some research in KeywordDiscovery.com, you might have learned that more people are searching for “how to be a good sales person”, approximately 3 per day, or 90 searches per month. Multiply that by a 2% low conversion rate (assuming you improve your website content), you could be getting at least 2 sales per month free from this one search term alone.

Below is an extract of FAILED criteria from an SEO Test ran against stevepatterson.com. I hope you find them of the value.

Google Index and Supplemental Results – FAILED

The status of your site in Google’s index is crucial to your website’s ranking success. If Google is not indexing your pages or indexing old content, searchers will not be able to find you. Because of changes in Google’s handling of supplemental results, the information below may not be 100% accurate.
Of the 12 pages for your site in Google’s index, 12 of them (100.0%) are in the supplemental results. We recommend that you have no more than 40% of the pages on your site in supplemental results.

Text Link Sitemap – FAILED

A text link sitemap is a page that has html links to each one of your pages. This ensures that the search engines can easily find each one of your pages and avoids “island pages” or “orphaned pages”.
We did not detect a text link sitemap on your domain. You can easily add one of these pages by using a number of free tools.

If-Modified-Since – FAILED

Web servers use the If-Modified-Since headers to determine whether or not they need to server a whole new page when a browser or search engine requests a page. Servers supporting If-Modified-Since save bandwidth and overhead, since the search engines will not re-download your entire site when it is spidered.

We have detected that your server does NOT support the If-Modified-Since header. Particularly for large sites, we recommend that you contact your webmaster to add If-Modified-Since support to save bandwidth and server resources.

Unique Meta Descriptions – FAILED

Using the same meta descriptions for multiple pages on your site may cause your site to rank poorly. Unique meta descriptions help the search engines properly target your landing pages.
You do not appear to be using unique meta descriptions on your site. We recommend you contact your webmaster to start putting unique, relevant meta descriptions on all of your landing pages.

Using External Files for JavaScript or CSS – FAILED

JavaScript and CSS are scripting languages that are used to provide extra functionality or easier formatting on a website. The search engines do not look at this type of code for ranking purposes unless there is something located in these files they deem “shadey” or an attempt to trick the search engines.
It’s a best practice to move these scripts into separate files and reference them at the top of your HTML document. This will decrease load times and make your HTML easier to read by the search engines.
We have detected the use of JavaScript or CSS hard coded into your HTML document.
Some of your links are created with JavaScript. Search engines will not be able to read these links to index your interior pages.

Unique Title Tags – FAILED

Using the same title tag for multiple pages on your site may cause your site to rank poorly. Unique title tags help the search engines properly target your landing pages.
You do not appear to be using unique title tags on your site. We recommend you contact your webmaster to start putting unique, relevant title tags on all of your landing pages.

Domain.com to www.Domain.com 301 Redirect – FAILED

Some user might type in the your website without the www. More importantly, someone might link to your website without including the www. So it is best practice to create a 301 (permanent redirect) from http://yoursite.com to http://www.yoursite.com. By doing this, you optimize your external links and avoid possible duplicate content problems.
We have NOT detected a proper redirect from stevepatterson.com to www.stevepatterson.com.

Web Directories – FAILED

Web directories are sites that organize and categorize links to various websites, both commercially and for free. Large web directories potentially send traffic to your sites, but the biggest reason to include your site in directories is to increase the backlinks to your site. Web directories are far less important now than they have been in the past, but a site listed on DMOZ still ranks better than one that isn’t.

Your site is missing in some of the major web directories that we track.
– DMOZ – Not Found – Add Your Site
– Best of the Web – Not Found – Add Your Site
– Yahoo Directory – Not Found – Add Your Site We recommend that you add your site to any of the major web directories where it is currently missing.

Virtual Hosting – FAILED

Search engines will occasionally penalize web sites based on the behavior of the other sites hosted on the same IP. If your web site is hosted on the same address as several spam websites, their reputation can hurt your ranking. Because of this, we recommend that you use dedicated IP addresses for your sites.

Dynamic URLs – FAILED

Dynamic URLs are how some programs render the location of pages on your websites. The challenge is when these URLs get complicated, the search engines have problems reading them and organizing them in their database.

We have detected complicated dynamic URLs. Depending on your hosting platform, you can use a technique called mod-rewrite that tells the server to perform a “301 redirect” from the dynamic URLs to an easy to read static URL.
You will need to contact your web developer to discuss your options.

Image ALT Tags – FAILED

ALT tags provide alternate text that will be shown to browsers and programs that do not support images. Search engines use the ALT tags as extra content to target your pages. Adding ALT tag information for your images provides an excellent way to add more content to your pages for the search engines without hurting the user experience.

We did NOT detect ALT tags for the majority of the images on your site. We recommend that you contact your webmaster to start putting relevant ALT tags on all your site images.

Best New Games Book (Copyright 2002, 232 pages) $22.95 Since the early 1970s, proponents of the New Games movement have been using cooperative, interactive games to bring diverse groups of people together. In Best New Games, Dale Le Fevre shows you how to lead, develop, and adapt New Games for any group. This complete resource is the only book now available that presents New Games. New Games are for groups of all ages and abilities — and they’re meant to be played just for fun. Developed during the Vietnam War era, New Games were created to encourage people to channel their aggressive tendencies in a creative, powerful, fun, and safe way. In 1974 the New Games Foundation was incorporated, and it spread the idea of New Games through hundreds of training workshops in North America and beyond. New Games may include competition, but having fun with a New Game is more important than winning it. The games can be adapted for people who are physically and mentally impaired or mentally ill. New Games have been played with people of all different abilities and backgrounds — often in the same group. Author Dale Le Fevre is a leading authority on New Games. In many of his workshops, traditionally adversarial groups have successfully come together to play and have fun: Arabs and Israelis in the Middle East; Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland; mixed races in South Africa; and Serbs, Croats, and Muslims in Croatia and Serbia. In Best New Games, Le Fevre presents the most popular New Games from more than 25 years of presenting, including many recently found games. The book features 180 illustrations, 84 games, and 7 trust activities. An easy-to-use Gamefinder helps you quickly find the ideal game for your particular situation by listing games according to space and equipment requirements, appropriate times to play the game, activity levels, skills developed, number of players, and social purpose. The author also provides tips to give you confidence and increase your effectiveness in leading the games, including instructions on adapting and creating games. In Best New Games you’ll find games to address a variety of social objectives: Breaking the ice Helping people get acquainted Fostering sensitivity and trust Building teamwork Best New Games is a great resource for anyone involved with groups — at any level and in any setting. It is a rich mine of entertaining activity ideas for elementary classrooms, after-school programs, physical education programs for all ages, college orientations, religious youth groups, r

Games Approach to Coaching Baseball Video (Copyright 2000) (VHS) $25.95 Discover a revolutionary and superior way to coach! Games Approach to Coaching Baseball shows you how to use this new approach to help 6- to 14-year-old athletes learn game skills and tactics more effectively than with the traditional drills-first, play-later approach. The games approach begins with kids playing the game. As they play, they learn and appreciate the skills and tactics needed to play the game successfully. Games are modified to strengthen individual technique and team play. Kids have more fun and are more motivated to practice in these small-sided games rather than standing in boring drill lines. Games Approach to Coaching Baseball clearly demonstrates how to: modify games to focus on particular skills and tactics; adjust the difficulty depending on your athletes’ needs; assess players as they play; actively involve players in the learning process; and teach and refine baseball skills and strategies. This video is part of the Games Approach to Coaching video series, which is composed of four videos that will teach you how to incorporate the games approach into four sports — baseball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball.

Coaching Pitchers – 3rd Edition (book) $19.95 Lots of people know pitching. But not every pitching expert is an expert coach. As a coach you need to know how to teach and how to apply pitching information to athletes. Coaching Pitchers is a complete coach’s guide to pitching for youth, junior high, high school, and college baseball. Written by a nationally recognized collegiate coach who has coached three teams to NCAA playoffs and who has sent 37 pitchers on to play professionally, this book covers the mechanical, physical, and mental aspects of pitching. Coaching psychology and strategy are also discussed in detail to help you produce successful pitchers and prepare them for successful careers. In this second edition, Joe Spanky McFarland builds upon the principles presented in his first edition. He includes an all-new organization, 240 accurately detailed illustrations, and substantially expanded and updated chapters on fitness training; proper mechanics–footwork, hip rotation, stride, arm motion; appropriate pitches for each age level; strategy; and defensive responsibilities. Realizing that a pitcher’s welfare is as much a coach’s priority as winning games, McFarland tailors his training program to the pitcher according to age and ability. An 8-year-old doesn’t have the strength or flexibility of an 18-year-old, so he shouldn’t train like one. In Coaching Pitchers, you’ll find out which exercises and combinations of pitches are best suited to bring a pitcher to the fullest potential possible for a given stage of development. Coaches will find the chapter on managing pitchers and pitching staff especially useful. You’ll learn what communication skills work with individual pitchers, how to help pitchers set reasonable goals, what qualifications starting pitchers and long and short relievers should have, how to establish a pitching rotation, and how to use pitching charts more effectively.
