Well, first off... you need a domain name. And then some Hosting.

I'm assuming you already have that and just forgot to post the domain name. ;-)

Oh, and let me be the first person to say welcome to DNForum!

I like the design, good use of colors - easy to navigate, links are were they should be.
Only thing I could find (browsed the site quickly) is that the logo changes on the 'A-Z of shops' to a blue background and orange text - why not use the same style as on the other pages ? That looks much better.

Maybe you should give your Adsense a make-over that they get a bit more attrection from your visitors.

Good luck

If you want to be found easier in the search engines, then I think you need some more original content. Right now the site mainly consists of site descriptions that other sites are also using so it's not unique.

Having your own unique content would certainly help. Maybe have an article on finding the best deals on flowers, and then have a link to the flowers site. But as it is, you aren't going to get much traffic from search engines.

The results below are based on the keywords shop shops and shopping. Of course you might check these factors with the keywords you want to use.

<TITLE> tag

Your Title tag is not the first tag in the <HEAD> area of your page! It must be placed before all other tags, otherwise search engines may oversee it and this will significantly damage your rankings.

<BODY> area:

None of your keywords is in bold. The fact you put a certain keyword or phrase in bold tells the search engine that you place an emphasis on them. Naturally it considers these words or phrases to be more important than those in regular font. We recommend that you put your key phrase in bold one or several times.

Your keyword is not present at the beginning of this page! Early appearance of your keyword shows its importance in the context of the entire page because it is mentioned at the very beginning. Try to put your keyword in 25 first words in the visible text of this page.

Your keyword is not present at the end of your page! Your page will be more relevant if your keyword appears at the end of the visible text. Try to put it in the last paragraph of your copy.

First heading on the page (H1-H6)

Your page has no <H1> headings! It is really important that you put your keyword in one of these headings. We also recommend that you put an <H1> heading as close to the beginning of your page as possible. You can easily do that with your favorite HTML editor.

Text in links including ALTs

Your keyword rarely appears in text links on this page! It should appear at least once in text links while it doesn't appear at all. We recommend that it should arise up to 6 times. You can easily adjust the count to this number with your favorite HTML editor.

ALT image attributes

Your keyword is not present in the first 3 ALT image attributes on your page! Put your keyword in one of these ALTs as they are considered more important than the rest of ALTs on your page.

Your keyword frequency in ALT image attributes is too low! Your keyword should appear 1 to 3 times in ALTs on this page while it is found 0 time(s). You can easily adjust the count to this number with your favorite HTML editor.

Your keyword is poorly present throughout Titles of Web pages across your site! Web CEO has found it in 10.0%% Titles. The theme of your site is an important factor influencing your rankings. We recommend that you put your keyword into at least 27% page Titles on your site.
