How can i do seo of photography site
http://www.arkadiuszkotlewski.com (no photos descriptions) ?

I am cleaning cleaning html with tidy, have proper descritions.
keywords and title different for each page (depends on
gallery/photo title).

I got site map and news page.

In head there are document relations (prev, next, start, toc ...)

I do nice url-rewrite.

What can i do more to get better seo optimalization?

Thx in advance

In addition to what others have said, you could provide a description of
each photo in a div below the image. Bots would definately pick that up.

You could also add a bit of text below the image on the index page,
something describing the business, about the photographer, etc.

On the photo pages themselves, the up arrow was not obvious to me as a
means to get back to the index page. You might want to put text under the
Up and Next and Previous arrows for people like me who can never figure out
which is the close door button or open door button in the elevator.

You should also try alt.internet.search-engines, plenty of good advice over
there.

No, he shouldn't - perfectly good advice here, old chap, you carry on!

Add an <h1> element to each page.
Change the content a little every few weeks. Search engines like active
sites.

Actually, try to add to the content on a regular basis. Engines will
crawl a site more often if the content is changing, but they'll only
rank it higher if it has more pertinent content added to it. I keep
seeing this misunderstanding everywhere lately.

Tidy is a linter, passing it's checking routines does not mean
that your code correct, it doesn't even mean that your code is
valid. Correct markup cannot be verified by automated tools like
tidy or a validator, it requires a proper understanding of the
markup. The following is valid and will pass a check with tidy:

body
p style="font:bold 200% sans-serif">My Web site</p

Yes, but tidy can kick old html (which sometimes i use
unintentionally), wipe whitespaces etc. Understanding markup is one
thing, cleaning output of php program can be a big deal and tidy
just does it.

?

Write your PHP program to produce decent code in the first place.

The poitn here is that the list items are list items, not headers. It
seems as though you're using the <h> elements to provide default styling.

Well, I thought that would be obvious. But I can also see where people

could interpret that to mean to make spurious and meaningless changes just
to have a changed page.
