I often wondered why I do not see more of eBid on the net. I am getting quite good at search engine optimization so I did some checks.on the main site (Not the software auction program) The main eBid.net site has a 25% score in meta description. The meta keyword description score is 27%. There is 35 images on the main site and none have alt tags (descriptions); They need them.
There is no H1 heading. It should have one. The site can live at either www.ebid.net or ebid.net
Combine the 2 different url address using a 301 direct from one to the other. (which ever one you choose) Probally the biggest SEO factor.
There is only 10 internal links and 1 outgoing! This is serious bad news. The main site should be linked to every good media outlet there is. You tube for starters. Twitter, Facebook, etc.
5 name servers and the page speed was bad when I checked 69/100.
The overall seo score for the site is 50%. I have websites in the 90%+.
A website needs to be search engine friendly. I am not trying to be critical. I know the guys are busy. Thought I should point this out to Mark and Gazza. They could address a few of the problems between fixing every one else's.
Cheers, Mike

More linking will help the people who have been doing it internally with their stores.
