    Needs SEO tips for my site

    http://streetviewr.com

    This site collects "interesting" Google Street Views (for many different definitions of "interesting"). It gets on average, several thousand visits a day - sometimes a lot more. Earlier this week for example, it got 13K+ visits in a day. It has a page rank of PR5. It's updated several times a day, every day.

    There is a (Python) script that regenerates the whole site every day from a local database and then it gets uploaded - I.E. no database access or scripts on the server - all effectively static HTML.

    The thing is, searching for street view (with or without quotes) on Google doesn't list it at all. Some of the sites listed there haven't changed for months or no longer have relevant content.

    Am I doing something fundamentally wrong on my site that's killing my search ranking? There isn't much text on most of the pages but that's by design. It uses some packed JavaScript but that's just for speed.

    Any suggestions? I'm quite willing to believe everything is in order but I figured it was worth asking the experts here in case there is something easy I can change.

    Cheers.

    I am no expert but what i would think is each page needs a different address, i.e. sandiego is just called sand.html or whatever i think that could be changed to san-deigo-street views or something. The meta tags need to be changed on each page also. If you look at your indexed pages in Google they are all the same with non descriptive links. The header for each page could be more descriptive also. each page just comes up streetviewr.

    Just thoughts don't know if that would help

    Agree with John,
    urls are not optimized for SE
    Title are not optimized for SE
    Another thing that could help your ranking is to put some SEO text in each "street view" page and not only "< << <<< (All 2443 Street Views) Page 1 of 82 >>> >> >".

    Thanks everyone. Those were *exactly* the sort of tips I was looking for. I implemented some of them and others need to wait for a bit of a rewrite.


    I'll see if what I've done makes a difference and post here later.

    Thanks again - much appreciated.
