Ok I run www.wespreadtheword.net and I am looking for the top five things you would change to make this site more seo friendly so that we can get more exposure. Right now I have a PR of 4 and a Traffic Rank for wespreadtheword.net: 669,593 at Alexa. Suggestions? Improvements? What say you?

0) Stop worrying about PageRank and Alexa Rank. The have nothing to do with anything. They're just numbers the wannabes use.

1) You seem to be using an old, outdated script which leads to an old, outdated-looking site. People tend to link more organically to things that look fresh, new, and most importantly show the concept of the site. These are the traffic-generating kind of organic links you should be seeking.

2) Try to give listings like this one more billing.

http://www.wespreadtheword.net/pages/Detailed/4157.html

That's the kind of stuff that polarizes people, creates debate and discussion and promotes your site (any news is good news and all that.)

3) On the same page, look at fixing up your titles so that they reflect the listings themselves. That way, you can potentially pick up long tail traffic to your subpages.

4) You have two domain names that appear to promote the same thing. Consolidate. Consolidation is your friend.

5) Ignore most of the other advice you're about to receive: "get more backlinks", "submit a sitemap", etc.

Also to clarify Adam's position (and mine at that), don't bother with blackhat SEO methods or possible "risky" ways to rank high in Google. Link exchanges count in with all that - they are not really that beneficial, and may not bring in the most important thing - traffic.

Concentrate on making your site look and feel good, and have something worth linking to. People will recommend your site if it is unique, so make sure the content is relatively good too.

Finally, good luck with the site

The 5 important things are:
1. Title.
2. Description.
3. Links.
4. Using Targeted Keywords
5. Quality content.

I usually have unique content. We have lots of music news and movie news up on the site on a regular basis as well as the directory system.

Adam - what script are you referring to? The directory is actually a new script called Gossamer Threads Links 2.0

That would have been the one. I've heard of it before, though, and it's been around awhile.

It just makes your site "look old". (Most CGI scripts have a tendency to do that.)

Odd because from our regular visitors I've heard nothing but praise of it.

How many "regular visitors" are we talking about? 1? 10? 10000? Your grandma and her knitting circle?

The thing is that you came in here looking for exposure, so obviously your regular visitors aren't enough to sustain your site. A lot of the time, those same regular visitors will go along with whatever changes you make, as long as they improve (or at least don't harm) the user experience. So I say get the jackhammer out and GIT 'R DONE!
