Hi Mozzers,

I've been working on redesigning and revamping this site, http://www.canvaspaintings.com.

Their domain and keyword are a match but not ranking #1.

Some initial things I feel that needs to be changed are the links on the side and top bar, viewing the on page report, it does have a lot of links on every page. Trying to figure out how to remove them without having the top nav look empty.

Previous category descriptions were written by possibly an article spinner or keyword stuffed writer.

Need to start building more links, although PR5, it doesn't rank too well.

Let me know your opinions and thoughts, I would love to hear them out.

TMI!

Yep, I've been brought on the help out a bit. The internal links are excessive but hard to manage since it is an ecommerce site. I have to draw out something for the linking of categories.

Traffic is roughly 200-300 visits but pageviews are about 5-6 per visit.

Keywords are all general but mainly the domain matching keyword. Rankings have fluctuated some moved up and some moved down. As mentioned our current ranking for our own domain is 3rd.

Thanks for the input! Where do you think we should put some H2, H3 tags? We've been using the H1 as an alt= on the logo so its within the code.

Hi William,

It looks like you have A LOT of out bound links (internal) from the home page.  That can dilute the PR vaule of that page since you are spreading out your link juice to a ton of interal pages.

What kind of weekly or monthly traffic are you getting right now?  Has it increased or decreased over the last 6 months?

What Keyword(s) are you targeting and where do you currently rank for those?  Have the rankings gone up or down?

Hi William,

I think the linking on the page could do with some improvement.

The first thing I would do is remove the 'www.canvaspaintings.com' link from the header & footer as there is no need for them. And, like you said, maybe a bit of improvement to the navigation links.

As well as this, I would look at using h1,h2,h3, etc tags a bit more effectively as this can make a big difference.

Hope these quick tips helps slightly.

Matt.
