TargetSEO.com: website Critique and review

Website: http://www.targetseo.com/














Design: Except below design seems good.
  • Top navigation image split and out of box while mouse hover on Contact us link in Chrome and Opera.
  • Live chat image also go out of box. The problem is width of logo and header_right1 classes.
Browser Compatibility:
  • IE7: Right side bar, banner, and top navigation break the rules.
  • Opera 10: Drop down menu under Top navigation color become black instead of blue.
Images
  • Our Group Company: Remove link of ennovate Group Inc. as it link to image link.
Code
  • As the call to action is on first fold, but only email validation is there.
  • The site is created using Wordpress, but still using 32 tables in home page..Uhhh.
  • Site is using 8 style sheets, more style sheets increase more request, even then there is inline styles.
  • Site is having inline java scripts too.
  • Speed Test: Overall site speed is ok except below 2 points.
  • Site need to enable compression: http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/payload.html#GzipCompression
  • Site need to optimize images
Content
  • Testimonials copied from http://www.seoxperts.org
I don’t think to check content after above point.


SEO
  • http://targetseo.com is not opening.. There is no 301 redirection.
  • There are 49 W3C validation errors.
  • Only 40/67 images have alt tag and many alt tags are blank.
  • There is no Google analytics or any other tracking in the site.
  • The most surprise item is there is no H1 at all.
  • H2 test is “client testimonials”
  • Blog is having category text more than content text: http://www.targetseo.com/blog/category/internet-articles/
  • There are more than 600 links on any category page of blog, which seems like LINK FARM.
  • 16 links in Google, out of total 1024 links.
Social Media
  • No social engagement icons like, FB, twitter or G+.
  • Still there are 24 FB Share, 8 FB likes, 4 twits and 3 Google+, may be student have done practice.
Other
  • Hosted with poor hosting provider, site is not opening many times and show request time out error.
  • As the site is taking inputs from visitors, it should have privacy policy.
Funny thing
  • SEO Guru India, is sponsored by Google analytics Adsense ad Travelingdog.com
