Can somebody look at my site www.bkriegtech.net and give me an honest SEO rating and tell me how to make it better?

First of all I'm not a SEO expert.
But what I know is that your markup looks terrible!
For your main menu you use an ul-list with a-elements, but without any list-items
You don't close all elements example: 
you use some attributes without quotation-marks: width=50
style-element without typeattribute
etc... ( and that only on the about page)
take some time to validate your pages: http://validator.w3.org

You also use the same description and keyword meta-data on all pages, however searchengines (almost) don't care about them it should be better to optimise them for every page apart.

So I should use instead of just ?

And also, it's the same on all pages becuase I use PHP includes...

The search engines don'tr know or care if you're using PHP, but if using PHP is hurting your SEO, you want to think about rewriting. But, that said, those meta tags are low priorities.

Yes, all tags should be closed. Most people will wrongly tell you that's not a SEO issue. It's likely preventing you from appearing in Google's accessible search, and it's hurting browser compatibility (ie user experience) because different browsers will interepret non validating markup differently.

well, open it with and close it with 
Try to use a CSS sheet instead of puting all the "style" on your html code.
You have 5 headers h1
You have a non www and a www version of the website

I don't know how you came up with the url but it's tough to remember/pronouce.

Sorry those advices are not great but I didn't really have time to run a detail diagnosis.

One tip to help is to write unique page titles for every page of your site. Clicking through a few pages I see they all use the same page title. You're essentially making every page of the site compete with each other.

 isn't a tag with a closing tag. The tag is opened and closed with . If you're using an html doctype it won't matter which you use. If you're using an xhtml doctype you need to use . Neither will have any impact on your SEO.

You split up the SEO efforts in terms of backlinks etc...
SEs see them as 2 different web pages/sites.

Hi athomas,

The first thing is: you are in a tough SEO market "web hosting" and "web site design". The first thing I would suggest is you get nichified. Think about focusing on a specific market sector in both areas. Exampes:

"real estate web hosting"
"real estate web site design"

Choose any market niche you know well and tune your site up for it. As VanGogh mentioned: unique page titles. Add to that, plenty of good quality content and incoming links from complimentary external sites and you'll be going the right direction.

You mention getting incoming links, is that done via affiliate programs? Never had luck with them.

**furry** · 08-19-2008, 09:23 PM

I think they mean incoming links as in a reciprical link exchange program.

I think you are thinking of a different tag there, the tag doesn't need to be closed, its self-contained. You just need to put (don't forget the space)

**swity** · 08-20-2008, 05:16 AM

Site should be in proper navigation user point of view and search engine point of view both.

No they don't. At least I hope they don't. There's nothing wrong with exchanging links when it makes sense to, but mass reciprocal exchanges aren't going to help your site rank.

Gaining links starts with having content worth linking to. After that there are plenty of threads already you can search through for tips on bringing attention to your content so others will link to it.

WOW!!

You have the same datacenter as rxtx.co.in
http://rxtx.co.in/images/datacenter.jpg - amazing!

hard work running back and forth to India?

I'd start by rebuilding your website and rework your SEO at the same time. Incoming links can be from many sources, other websites /blogs /directories /forums /social networking /Press releases etc etc.
