    Thank you for allowing me to list the website to be reviewed here.
    This is a PR6 but just 11-month software website of my company.The website has high PR6 but very low traffic.The number of visitor is not more than 300.Sometime,the number is less than 200.I don't know why the website gets a high PR so quickly but very low traffic.
    The website was designed with PHP and DIV+CSS.This is a simple website for no more than 20 webpages,but why can it get high PR so quickly but less traffic ? I think it is a strange website.I also find that similar title,keywords,description in almost web pages.
    The website: socusoft . com (PR6,but very less traffic,why ?)
    Sincerely invite all friends to review the website and discuss it .Any viewpoints can be accepted and collected well.
    Please give me some advice to improve the website.Thank you.

    I am not the best expert but your site looks great to me, I think your page rank is because of great design but low traffic because there are lots and lots of competing programs out there to do what yours does. I have downloaded and tried several myself.

    it may be a very hard niche to compete in.
    There are free programs to play dvd and flv files. Sorry if this seems negative its not meant that way. Hope this helps

    First item:
    Website traffic, website conversions, website revisits, bounce rate, website position,
    and website rank are separate items with some overlap.
    -
    Website traffic is mostly connected with keywords and site relevancy.
    Bounce rate has to do with navigation, design and site relevant to keywords.
    Page rank has to do with links.
    -
    For keywords, you need a "keyword suggestion tool" such as wordtracker
    http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/
    -
    Your title: (Google displays about 66 characters including spaces)
    <title>Home – Socusoft powerful applications - DVD Photo Slideshow, Flash Slideshow Maker,
    Any FLV Player, SocuSoft DVD Converter</title>
    -
    Why do you use the word "home" in your title ??
    Your title has the most important keywords and position #1 has the most value
    Your site is not about "home". A real estate site is about home.
    -
    another sites title:
    <title>Slide - slideshows, slide shows, photo sharing, image hosting, widgets, MySpace codes,
    Facebook apps</title>
    Note: their site is about slide shows

    another title about slide shows
    <title>Slideshow: Easily create and share a slideshow.</title>

    wordtracker results on keywords:
    129 slideshow software
    109 slideshow
    39 slideshows
    16 slide shows
    Notice the difference in slideshow, slideshows and slide shows

    New site for review
    http://www.socusoft.com/

    Old site for comparison
    http://www.dvd-photo-slideshow.com/

    <title>Photo to DVD Slideshow Software - Slideshow DVD, Photo to DVD, DVD Slide Show</title>

    <meta name="description" content="Socusoft develops DVD photo slideshow software, photo

    photo on TV, slideshow, slideshow software, web photo album, photo album software, photo to
    dvd, photo slideshow, slide show software, dvd slideshow software, dvd photo slideshow">

    In my opinion the new site has a better index page but the old site has better meta tags
    (title - description and keywords)

    Your pagerank probably comes from the old page

    With a little help, your new page can be what you want it to be
    (high traffic - good pagerank and good conversions)
    You need a good article and demonstration on how it is better than the free ones and
    the other commercial sites (maybe show how yours is better and you give better support
    or you have good tutorials - something to show besides the software)
    also several examples like:

    It is not "bad". Most of the sites on the internet have errors, many gross errors. If you want to compete with the "big boys" you must be better than they are. A professional site should not have validation (coding) errors or warnings. Many of the major companies do, so correcting them helps you in many areas. "HTML Tidy" will automatically generate the corrections.
    The idea is to make the site an asset to the business. You need several analytics (free) to check the sites progress and improve, remember, you probably have over a million sites trying for that 1st page on Google. It is not easy to achieve, but the rewards are worth it.
    Also check your conversions ( who and why they are buying from your site) This way you can improve (more people buying from the site).
    A site is advertising, and most companies try different methods to improve sales through advertising. What works for one may not work for another.
    You have to experiment with some guidance for improved sales.

    one thing to remember is if your site is coded in php ect the html tidy will not do a lot if the errors are in the php code most common error is the use of the & in urls ie$one=2&two=2 ect to validae it must be &amp; not just & sure you already know this but just thought i would mention it.
  10. navyfalcon New Member

    The problem in the code causing validation warnings:
    example - Lines 26 thru 30
    Line 26 <a href="products.php"><li>Products</li></a>
    should be:
    Line 26 <li style="list-style:none"><a href="products.php"></a></li><li>Products</li>
    -
    Ref: HTML Tidy

    It is a long time since I met you here. Now, I came back now. :)
  12. tomw New Member

    Welcome back. It has been a long time. We did not meet when you last visited the site since I haven’t discovered this wonderful site yet. Hope you will hang around this time to share your interest with us. I see your site is still maintaining PR6 and looks like the traffic has been improved. Great work!


    Hey Falcon, that code might have passed validation but will fail usability as the link cannot be clicked on. The Products should be between the anchor tags:
    Code:
    <li style="list-style:none"><a href="products.php">Products</a></li>

    site

    Hello, I like the site very informative and lots of information, the only thing is when your header comes up with information it disappears so fast before i can read it, other than that very easy to navigate
