You are #3 for Vuoi cenare in un esclusivo ristorante
and #1 for "Vuoi cenare in un esclusivo ristorante"
so you are in the Google data base.

What keywords do you think your wanted customers will use?

Best regards, Eric.

Bloody hell! Put an XHTML doctype in there, I would. Possibly a
charset also, seeing it's in Italian (is that Italian?).
Externalise the javascripts. It's nearly all javascript! That really
doesn't help, you know.

It's virtually impossible to read the text on the front of your site. You
need to either make the background image much lighter or change the color of
the text to white. It's all very well optimising for search engines, but if
real human vistors can't use the site what's the point?

Kind Regards

Sorry for my tons of questions but I'm a newbie on SEO.....

P.S. The code is not mine, in the next weeks I'll start developing a new
version of the site with XHTML strict code, but now my customer wants the
actual version to be at the first 10 results....

Thanks,
Alessandro

You would mark a document as XHTML when it isn't XHTML (and this one isn't)?
Whatever for? And what does Google care anyway? Google's been working fine
since before XHTML existed.

Not necessary, if the server is correctly sending the charset in a response
header.

Bill could have had XHTML on the brain when responding and may have
just typo'd a bit. Either way, it doesn't hurt a site SEO wise to put
in the doctype; at least, to my knowledge, it has never been proven
that it does.

The keys are "locali milano" "milano locali" "discoteche milano" milano
discoteche".

Why XHTML doctype and charset definition are so important?

<yawns, rubs eyes>
It's apparently written according to XHTML standards. If this was a
plain ordinary HTML document, then I'd be happy to leave out the
doctype on the grounds that the browsers will be able to properly
understand and display the code. But, if you're happy with it and
you'll be re-writing it soon anyway, leave it for now.
<yawns, rubs eyes />

Why javascript is
not good? I know that spiders don't ignore it.
Sorry for my tons of questions but I'm a newbie on SEO.....

Javascript is fine. Javascript takes up a lot of room in your file and
makes file big. This means slow downloads, unnecessary room taken up
on the server etc. It's fine to use javascript but it is better in
many ways if you put it in an external file and refer to that file
from the original.
Take the big javascript from the file and put it in a text file and
call it freelance.js (or call it what you want so long as it has the
..js type). Don't put <script> and </script> in it or like that. Just
the javascript code itself.
In the original file you refer to it like this
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="freelance.js"></script>
Obviously both files would have to be in the same directory for that
particulat src= to work, if you have many different javascripts you
could put them where you wanted, in a separate directory maybe.
Doing this will greatly cut down the size and the loading times of
your files. Also this will make it easier for us (and engines) to
decide what to do with the remaining code and content. So go do that
and we'll talk again.
Jeez, talk about distance-learning!
Later, when I'm wide-awake again, I won't be so ffriendly. GRRRR!

i did wonder about that after I said it, actually. What's all that />

Yeah, I agree it's quite possibly not needed but then again,
maybe.....

No complaints there then? Phew!

Spent about 15 seconds at your site looking at the source.

Biggest problem I saw was the imagemap at the bottom of source.

If this includes important links not duplicated as either text links
or standard image links this site will not be fully spiderable.

Google does not follow imagemap links, so if you must have them you
have to have alternative text/image links for search engines to
follow.

Sites not well optimised in general either and since it's PR4 needs
more links.
