    Please rate my site

    Please visit my site at www.buysellcommunity.com and tell me how i could improve. Right now, i'm averaging about 350-500 hits per day. I'm also looking for other suppliers to place ads on our site so we could have a higher number of items for sale. We offer free classified ads on our site. Please check it out. Thanks

    It looks like you have a nicely designed site. One recommendation I would make to get the most out of it is to SEO the site. I ran a quick scan and the two most popular words on your homepage are the bullet point symbol and the word "asking" instead of the keywords you are going for.

    Yes, nice-looking site.

    Are you using one of the Open Source php engines and if so, which one?

    One must be careful in checking out keywords for sites using dynamic content, as some of the checkers do not function so well in that environment as does Google. I just ran a check on density and you are doing ok:

    Most often used keywords:
    buysellcommunity 117 times
    classified 53 times
    middot 50 times - that's script caused by the engine you're using
    classifieds 39 times
    search 7 times
    browse 6 times
    listings 6 times
    refer 5 times
    online 5 times
    local 5 times

    Inbound links
    Google: 15,200

    The only problem I see for your keywords is that they are very general - everyone in your field is using them. I know that when you install php engines, they come with the keywords preset. I suggest you think about how to make them more individual to your site... i.e. find a niche market.

    Good luck. BTW my site provides free website appraisals and ebusiness support.

    Yes, the middot is the bullet symbol I refered to earlier which has many repetitions.

    Also the first two words of the homepage title tag are "Free Classifieds" but the homepage has very low density of the word "free".

    I usually check keyword density one page at a time, rather than the global approach, but both approaches will give good information regarding the SEO needs of a site.
