Dear Business Owner of *Heypete.Com*,**

You can't expect your website *Heypete.Com* * *to increase your revenue
with so many errors. Many business owners get puzzled as their website
isn't performing well, while others' are flourishing. That's
unfortunate, but not your fortune!Now, I will show you the number of broken links, pages that returned
4XX status code upon request, images with no ALT text, pages with no
meta description tag, not having a unique meta description, having a
too long title, etc., found in your *Heypete.Com* . Too many issues to
worry about!If this is something you are interested in, *then allow me to send you a
no obligation audit report in the form of VIDEO. *Best Regards, **

**Rick Lee**
Marketing Consultant

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------*PS*: I am not spamming. I have studied your website, prepared an audit
report and believe I can help with your business promotion.

Hello Rachel,

Thanks for writing back to me.
Below are some suggestions for your website.

*Write quality content using variations on your main keyword phrase.*
Each page or blog post should focus on one specific topic, which
naturally optimizes the page.

*Use descriptive page and post titles. *WordPress creates the URL for
your pages and posts based on the title of the page so write compelling
titles that contain your focus keyword phrase to get the most benefits.

*Use keywords in the anchor text when linking internally. *Use
keyword-rich anchor text in your internal links to help the search
engines understand what those pages are about.

*Write a descriptive alt tag for all images using your focus keyword
phrase.* Keyword rich Alt tags help your page get better rankings. Using
the keyword phrase as the file name of the image as well.

*Create unique page titles using relevant keywords. *Create different
titles for each page or post of your site using a specific keyword
phrase for which you want the page to rank. Put the most relevant
keyword first in the title.

*Control the content that shows up in the search engine results.*
Writing quality descriptions with a call to action for each page and
post gives searchers a reason to visit your site and increases
click-through rates from the search engine results pages to your website.

Please let me know a good time to reach you to discuss further on this.

Hello Rachel,

Thanks for writing back to me.

Below are some of my findings for *"Mnesty.com". *

*Description Metatag: **MISSING*

The description attribute should provide a concise explanation of a Web
page's content. Also, the description is often displayed on search
engine results and can indirectly affect page ranking.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_element#The_description_attribute
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_element#The_description_attribute>)

*Google Analytics - MISSING
**We didn't detect an analytics tool installed on this website. *Web
analytics let you measure visitor activity on your website. We would
recommend you having atleaast one analytics tool installed.

*XML Sitemaps - **MISSING*

*Your website does not have an XML sitemap.*

A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include
additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of
changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl
the site more intelligently.

*Robots.txt - MISSING*

A robots.txt file is recommended as it can provide important
instructions to a search engine for how to best read your website (such
as which files to bypass.)

*Favicon - MISSING*
The Favicon is a small icon associated with a website. Favicon is
important because it is displayed next to the website's URL in the
address bar of the browser as well as in bookmarks and shortcuts.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon>)

*Custom 404 Error - No custom 404 error page detected*
A 404 is a standard http response code for a resource that cannot be
located on the server. Webservers usually return a "404 Not Found" error
page for non-existing pages. Unfortunately, these default error pages
are very generic and a not very user friendly, therefore, using a custom
404 error page is highly recommended.

Process of returning http status code "200 OK" for a non-existent page
or redirecting users to another url is called soft 404. Soft 404 errors
are problematic for search engines and are not advisable.
