SEO Advice - Kiel James Patrick
It’s time for another SEO Advice post! Last week, I offered free SEO advice to Sylvia Manor. I’m going to continue my SEO Advice series today by helping out another YoungEntrepreneur.com blog reader Michael Alahverdian, from Kiel James Patrick.

The site is www.KielJamesPatrick.com - A high end fashion accessory
My Recommendations
While Michael’s email wasn’t as informative or detailed as some of the others in the past, I still thought it would be worth looking at his site as it is in serious need of SEO help.
1) Use More Text
To get ranked in Google you need to have at least 300 words of content on your page. Your homepage only has one paragraph of text on it and you have 94 words in there - not nearly enough to be seen as a content-rich site in Google’s eyes. I understand that it’s a fashion business and you need to show the product as well as get your branding across but you need to get people to the website first to sell them. Try to make sure that each of your pages have at least 300 words so you can start driving more search engine traffic.
2) Choose Your Keywords Wisely
If you look at your title tag it reads: Kiel James Patrick - The Kiel James Patrick official site… People know that you’re the Kiel James Patrick site because that’s your domain name and you have your logo at the top left of the page. You should put your keywords closer to the left of the title bar and then make sure to include the keywords further down in the body of your text. For example, you could focus in on custom made wristbands - put it right at the beginning of your title tag and then include it in your webpage text.
3) SpyFu Recommendations
Unfortunately SpyFu doesn’t recognize KielJamesPatrick.com (yet!) and has no keyword research for the website.
Good luck Michael!

[…] Each week they review a different site and provide concrete advice and suggestions as to what the owner can do to improve the site’s ranking. Take a look at the most recent review. […]
I think a lot of people trying to create better Web sites for their businesses (particularly small businesses that don’t have an in-house IT staff or simply not a lot of technical knowledge) are confused about SEO, and these on-going tips are incredibly helpful! Since there are firms devoted specifically to Web site optimization that many businesses (that can afford this service) consult on a regular basis, it’s important for everyone to continue to develop Web sites with SEO on their minds to stay competitive and make sure the right people are finding them online. Similarly, a lot of Web sites use SEO techniques irresponsibly just to get their ranking higher, even when they provide no information on the topics suggested by their keywords, so it’s important for everyone to be responsible and stay relevant to make sure seekers are getting what they want. This can really help build credibility!
Another recommendation you can add to your list is the Wordtracker Keyword Tool. It’s very important to build your website around “profitable” keywords to get the most out of the search engines.
