      Kris - looked at your website - just a thought - could you set up a blog, and blog weekly maybe with a different house plan featured each week? That way you can get a more "natural" looking site for the search engines.

        This guy mentions the impact on his site and shows some changes he made...

        I used follow his blog for a few years but it's not as relevant these days but I remember reading about it so thought I'd share his thoughts.

          Thanks guys...

          Yes I do need to add a blog. I think I have that functionality... I've been reading around and making some changes.
          http://www.aboveallhouseplans.com/

          cleaning up some lil messes but overall I still don't know what the problem is and still only get around 400 hits a day. very depressing.

          got back to work on Link deleted so I'll take the shotgun effect and see how that works.

            Thanks Rich that was good stuff... I read it back when you posted it and have been taking some of his advice.

              Kri, is that header refresh (set to 0) deliberately on that site? 😲

              Gai...

                  if you're tlaking about sketchup house plans than I have it set to not cache anything right now because I'm working on it and it makes me dump the cache when I make changes. so it's just easier. but on aboveallhouseplans.com I didn't know if it was set to 0.

                  and I'm not sure I set it that way or what it actually does. these are both shopping cart installations. not static html like I'm used to.

                    The SU Plans. This is all that appears in the source code:

                    
                    <HTML> <HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; url=http://198.101.155.38">  </HEAD> </HTML> 
                    

                    and it keeps constantly refreshing.

                    Gai...

                      oh... that site isn't really live. I shouldn't have posted it. That's the domain name forwarding. I'm using a host file hack to point it.

                          Kris, the same stuff. Why is that refresh code in the header at all?

                          Gai...

                            It's not me... it's the web-host forwarding the domain until it propagates. which obviously isn't working.

                              Such things should not be written into the head section of an html file. It should be set under the DNS settings on the server.

                                Yeah it's their thing... I had no idea. Like I said I was using a host hack so I could work on it. I think it may be working now. maybe.

                                  Yes, it "works" now. But get that thing off very quickly. It's an installation wizard and you do not want anyone to hack your system at this vulnerable stage (in fact, I have deleted the link now so that no-one has any stupid ideas...)

                                    no actually it's still not working as that installation page is on the old server and it's can't install because the system is incompatible with that host's server. but thanks for lookin out for me.

                                    only this link works. http://sketchup-house-plans.com/ this one is still broken,. http://www.sketchup-house-plans.com/

                                    ok I think I might have it fixed now.
