In-Site SEO

Home analysis

URL

http://smashingmagazine.com

Length: 16 characters

Show advice

Keep your URLs short. If possible, avoid long domain names.

A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).

Keep in mind that URLs are an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy.

Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.

Resource: Search for a good domain name here. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain from Sedo.

To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.

Easy to solve

Use your keywords in the headings. Make sure the first level (<H1>) includes your most important keywords.

For greater SEO, only use one <H1> title per page.

Images

We found 18 images on this website.

0 alt attributes are empty or missing!

Show advice
High impact
Easy to solve

Alternative text (the alt attribute) is missing for several images. Add alternative text so that search engines can better understand the content of your images.

Remember that search engine crawlers cannot actually "see" images. The alternative text attribute allows you to assign a specific description to each image.

Alternative text describes your images so they can appear in Google&trade Images search results.

Check the images on your website and make sure effective ALT text is specified for each image.

Old domains are ranked higher by search engines and yield better SEO results.

Google™ temporarily reduces the page rank of new domains, placing them into a "sandbox".

Using a domain that has been registered for many years can mitigate this effect.

Consider these Whois tips to further improve your SEO.
