hello folks.
i re-designed a small site for a client a couple of months back that seems
to be doing the opposite of what it was intended to do - bring him more
business.
the main site had gone thru several changes, most recent from a site that
sold food supplements to a site that sells small electronic appliances. we
pared the site down to a simple 2-page site - got rid of all extra baggage,
so all it has is a product page and an order page on a secure server.
our search engine strategy involved purchasing a new domain containing
important keywords for the products and setting up an identical 2-page site
on the new domain which also pointed to the secure order page. We worked on
optimizing the <TITLE> and <META> tags of both sites.
Anyway, we thought this might perk up their sales, but sales actually
decreased drastically.
I am not sure where we went wrong. If anyone has any feedback or advice for
this issue with regard to search engines, please let me know!!
thanks..
