Need help with my established website...
My name is Ed, and I own cockapoocrazy dot com. I am not much of a web developer, and this site has become somewhat popular (4000 real fans on FB, up to 1,000 page views per day.) It is about 1 1/2 years old, with over 100 original articles, yet remains somewhat badly ranked in search and PR, much lower than many others, so I am wondering what I can do to improve upon it.
This may make my request slightly different than the norm. I am not trying to make a niche site and leave it be, this site is a daily passion. I update often, interact with fans multiple times per day, etc: I am devoted to cockapoocrazy dot com, and proud of what my wife and I have built there. Yet, I know that we must improve it in ways we are not experts in, in order to survive and thrive.
Aside from getting more backlinks, which I am still learning about and working on, how can I boost traffic, make the user stay longer, get better PageRank (currently 2), etc? I have done my best to do on-page SEO, but my skills are limited. I also wonder about general layout, search engine friendliness, Adsense placement, colors, logo, meta junk, content, and navigation...all of it. I need to know what I am doing right, what I am doing wrong, and how to fix it.
I am willing to do what I can to make corrections, but have limited HTML experience. I am also willing to hire out if the person is dependable and the price is right, but honestly, I have no idea which services and companies are reputable and which are not!
I am open to your ideas, critiques, and suggestions. You all have a much better idea about this sort of thing than I do, so I have come with an open mind and eager eyes, so please share what you are willing to share.
Regards,
Ed
