Google Part 2 - They still hate me!

    • You might be at a pont where it's just some good old fashioned tweaking of your keywords on the homepage to get to the front page of results. Too bad that's the tough part, trying to figure out if you've overdone your keywords and what position on the page they need to be in.

      I haven't had much luck with Google lately, but in Yahoo I can replace one story in the second frontpage position and easily drop from 2nd to 29th in a couple of days. When I move the story back to the frontpage I go back up to #2 in a couple of days.

      I would suggest for you to have a link on your homepage that reads 'Joomla Templates' and links to a page that is titled Joomla templates or you could try renaming your menu item from 'available templates' to 'Joomla Templates' or 'Available Joomla Templates' if you need to.

      You should also have a link that reads 'Free Joomla Templates' on the homepage as many searchers will be searching the terms 'Free Joomla Templates' and that can be your secondary key phrase.

      Also don't completely forget about the term 'mambo templates' as most mambo users may upgrade to joomla sooner or later. If your templates are only working with Joomla it might be reason enough for them to upgrade.

      Just my two-bits. ;D

    • from my point of view i meant change the category title from available templates to joomla tempaltes

      as it stands at the moment 'joomla templates' is too far back in your url as it comes right at the end

      only a suggestion but instead of calling your section 'products' call it 'joomla' and then joomla templates for the section ...
