This can help, if they are writing a description of the page they like and linking to deep internal pages. But spamming the url for the homepage won't help as much.If you like my website, would you share a link to edible-landscape-design.com (or better yet, the link to a page on that site that you particularly like) with your friends and family?

Some strategy:
0. Fix any problems google says your website has.
1. Know your market. Define a list of 50 to 500 keywords or sentences that people type in when searching for your site. Research what keywords other. Look at the access logs and what visitors are searching to get to your website.
2. Market for those keywords.
a. You need more internal links linking to your own content.
b. When you make blog posts, make the links so they highlight keywords that link to your site. Make links 80% that highlight sets of keywords and 20% of the time link up full sentences. Don't just put your site url in the post because that's not informative.
c. Make high quality blog posts with text that links keywords back to your websites.
d. Write articles in a news section of your website, the articles will have links to content in your website and link to these articles on your twitter, facebook and blog or blogs.
3. Sure have your friends post about yourwebsite in facebook and twitter. But ask them to post links to internal pages, not the index page.
4. Set up pay per click for some of your keywords. Google want's your money, even five dollars a month will make you look better to google. Google never says this, but they seem to manually reviews and rates sites that are worth their time. They don't rank them better, but your chances of getting ranked well by a human are better then if no human is involved.
5. Pay for some marketing once in a while to help fill in the gaps of what you're missing. Captain Marketing is a pretty good company and I can research other options if you feel you want to go in this direction.
6. Create location pages for cities and content related to those places. Google likes to send people in New York looking for Garden info to New York Gardening or New York Plants guides. Google is getting very granular, but if you have content related to a specific area google will send people from that area to you.
7. Add a news page to your website with clips linking to the latest interesting news articles on your Edible Landscapes.
8. Get your website into a more modern html version. Google won't downgrade you for your websites use of tables, but google does rank on user experience. Your template is getting old and your menu is not very easy to use, so at some point you might think about a site upgrade. If this website is generated by the webservice provider you use, you might move away from them and move to a faster server. Though this is the least of your concerns.
Quality issues and things you are failing to do:
- Flash toolbar
- No blog, make a free blog or hosted blog and post content to your blog daily or weekly with focused backlinks.
- No seo chaining, as in making a blog post then posting about it on twitter and other social media
- No instruction site accounts like instructables, deviant art...
- No youtube, make a youtube account and post videos that link back to internal sections of your website.
- Bad menu
- Limited content
- Lack of internal interlinking
- You don't have contact information on your website.
- You don't have a contact form.
- You don't have any disclaimer
- Geolocation settings?

That's not much and blog content doesn't count. The main menu on the left looks like 26 pages of content.RedStateGreen wrote:I have over 100 pages of content
Chill out Red I gave your site a one minute look over and you are correct, below the fold if I read though every item in that hard to read 1998 button list on the left there is a contact link. That's bad navigation. Ideally, those should be in your footer and that left menu is it's own issue.RedStateGreen wrote:a contact form, a disclaimer
I saw one or two internal links per page. One or two per paragraph would work better.RedStateGreen wrote:internally link every page multiple times
Cool but I don't see the links on your website. It's great that you have some facebook followers, though there is always more you can do. For facebook y=ou might consider adding some content such as iwipa pages in your facebook. That way people can browse and search some of your website while in facebookRedStateGreen wrote:and am fully involved with social media. I have a FB page with over 250 followers, am on Twitter, have a YouTube account, two blogs, etc.
You're so ignorant about web marketing you think I'm making this up. That's funny. Your website is chump change compared to the sites I work on. I wrote up all of those suggestions specifically for you, if you don't like them then don't take them.RedStateGreen wrote:Or did you just cut and paste these tidbits from somewhere?
I think you should apologize to me. I said nothing insulting to you and I am not arguing with you.RedStateGreen wrote:I don't have time to get into an argument here.
