Not sure why everyone forgets why they have a site up. It's not just to have an online presence you are selling a service, product, etc. Yet nowhere on your front page do you make that apparent. I reviewed your tags, and the most important one in my humble opinion is missing. The description tag. I will give you more insights in your message box. I hope this helps... looks good though.
Cheers,

Hello Agus, nice site but I wonder how many opportunities are missed due to no onpage optimization? You have many opportunities to sell your tour on the home page yet, you are not taking any of them. I have sent you a message with some suggestions. Good luck

The good the bad and the ugly... Great looking site, easy to navigate, your shopping process looks easy and you have some great products.

Now the bad, you have no content on your front page other than you e-commerce. As a new visitor I want to know what you do, what makes your product so wonderful, & why I should buy from you. Therefore, give me a reason to look around. You may be thinking it's obvious but think again, organic search brings in a variety of potential new shoppers. Now if this is your landing page from a PPC campaign then I would still add a "home" page. Second thing I would suggest is an about us page or maybe a "mission" statement. Your online consumers have become better informed and want to see transparency on a shopping site.

Now for the Ugly... You have no visible secure shopping button. I went through a shopping process the "cart" page should give me a sense of security. Nowhere did I see this on the site, not even a VeriSign. Look I am not promoting them there are hundreds out there my point is I would not feel secure buying from you.

Your code looks good even though I would take advantage of other KW( keywords) than "Louis Vuitton, louie vutton, louis vitton, vuton," that is not to say it's a bad strategy, but you are limiting your search results. Again this is merely a suggestion... I really do love your site. Nice job

Great idea Teri but I will tell you what I have been telling everyone if you want your site to get more traffic you need to use social networks. I see you are using Stumble, Digg, & delicious. I say add ALL of them by adding one button the "share this or add this" button. Not everyone wants to join new social networking sites therefore give them the option to post it on FF or FB. Don't corner yourself.

My second comment is I noticed you own the name of your site but you are using Blogger's template I am curious why? You can do so much more with Worpress. Just a suggestion since the Blogger navigation is still visible at the top of your page. Last where is the information about you? I could not find it. I for one should be able to find it since I am well versed on the Internet... So you can imagine if I cannot find it then your regular readers cannot either.

People want to know what makes you an expert, who you are and what the site is about? I looked everywhere but could not see anything. So maybe an About me or more about smarty pants mama would help.

Hello Greg you have tons of code on your site that is useless for search engines. You add/share this button is too low on the page it should be right after the post. Most people won't scroll down unless the article is long. So you are missing out on a lot of "networking" link love. All in all this is a great site you have very helpful tips, great pictures, keep up the great work. Last I checked your site with my SEO quake, you have no keywords to speak of. Look into generating some and adding them to your copy. You will reap the benefits, maybe not overnight but compared to other plumbers you are ahead of the game.

This can be a great site... with that said you have some elements missing. Your description tag will not get you any clicks. What I see is <meta name="description" content="Work at Home Job">
What does that mean? You should be much more convincing and descriptive. Your keywords are non existent. You have no site navigation to speak of and none of your links work... I will assume this is a work in progress.

I would also look at putting a site map on the site since you have the potential for a lot of info. It seems like you are doing the right things but the strategy is not there. First thing to ask yourself is "who would search for this" the answer is obvious however, this site is not appealing to the masses, your message is not strong enough, & your call to action is weak.

Great clean site, you have a great PR5 with Google. This site is well designed and it seems they have been around for sometime 2001. The e-commerce, shopping area is clear and functional.

What I don't get is why the light font on the home page? It's not very visible compared to the darker font in your shopping area. Another point worth mentioning is as a consumer once I have found what I am looking for, I like to know who I am dealing with. That was the other issue I had with your site. Why is your "about us" only at the bottom of your page?

User interface is extremely important since most users automatically look to the side or at the top of the page for navigation... Something you may want to consider.

While I can appreciate wanting feedback from your users I would either place that to the side or the bottom, rather than prominently on the top of the navigation.

All in all I would give this site a great passing grade, I will be sure to check it out and send users if they needed car parts!

What's this site about. " Do you want to plan your vacation?
Not sure, when Easter will be? " That is all the content they have on their site. Unless you consider the long list of links like Ascension, Assomption
Assunzione,... To the side as content. I am not sure why I would ever use this site. Look it could very well be one of those "get it" moments, it just didn't happen for me. Maybe some content about what you do, why I would use your services, or site. How about a link about who you are and maybe a blog to entice me to use your site? Look I understand your concept (holidays & when they fall according to that country) I just don't get your strategy. Maybe you just don' t have one.

One thing I noticed as soon as I clicked on your site is the font is too light and hard to see. Then there is the issue of "Just input your vehicles year and make and well" Nothing worst than those "" showing up on a site. May I suggest you place your about us on the top of the page rather than on the bottom navigation. As a consumer I want to know about you... That is once I know you have the parts I need. The buying process looks easy and fast which is great. Nothing worst than having to click repeatedly before I can buy something. Great job, Btw your font in your "buying" area is much darker and easier to see.

Excellent concept. The site is a bit confusing at first but once you get the hang of it and read the instructions it all makes sense. I would suggest being able to go from your blog back to your home page in the navigation since I was not able to go back. I noticed you have a few social networking sites on each page of your site. But the place I did not see your social networking sites is your blog. Granted you have the follow me on twitter and the FB fan page but what about the others. Basically what I am asking is why do you not have the "add this" bookmarks or "share this" button at the bottom of your posts? That would give you 100% more visibility and traffic. Otherwise I love this site excellent.

Look I am not a big advocate for cigarettes they are bad for you and you are simply making it easier to buy them. Look I am a smoker so I am not saying what you are selling is bad it just makes it easier for me to die. Aside from that your site is excellent. Looks good, reads well, upload time is excellent. I would have given you a love button, but I am still not convinced that cigarettes are good for you. Lol

Excellent job Marg. I loved the pictures of your animals. I would suggest you place a Paypal button so people can send you some money. Sure buying from your affiliate advertising is nice bu what about making $ directly for your pets. They don't have to give much just what they can. I would have given you $20 just enough to buy a small bag of cat/dog food. The site is clean with lots of great information. Think about joining some social networks. You would be amazed at how many animal lovers you can find to read your site. Actually a couple of ladies raised $450 in 3 days on Twitter for a dog that needed surgery. So there are people out there willing to give you just have to find them. Good luck

Maybe I just don't like the design but the content is great. I am not one for a lot of pictures or advertisement on a page. The home page seems full of ads. The colors are not something I find appealing. Brown & peach with pink. Meh but in general the idea is great the direction is clear. Bravo

Very nice, clean design, easy to navigate. All in all I liked this site. I would suggest they use some Bookmarking features or where they are active in Social networks. Like maybe Facebook people now days want to know where you hang out and what a better place to get new buyers than all the Social networking sites.

I would think they would have some content or explain why I would want to use their map versus Google map (which by the way is what they are using) Plus the fact I have to sign in. Hello I am not going to sign in to look at a map that I can see on Google without signing in. This site needs better focus and a better strategy.

I would definitely do something about the slow page upload. Granted there are a lot of pictures but maybe optimizing them? Very cool otherwise.
