Seeking Advice

• 
  Hi moms! I've had my website up and running for 3 months. I'm watching it slowly climb up in the search ranks, but wondered if any of you have advice on how to help get my site up to the first pages of a search? My site is www.pickyourpages.com - have a look and let me know what you think! Any advice would be great.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi there --
  
  
  
  I am not an SEO expert, but I've learned a lot just from running Work It, Mom!. A few suggestions:
  
  
  
  -The first 4-5 words in your title tag matter the most -- right now yours is : PickYourPages - Premade and Custom Scrapbooks -- I would switch those around (start with Premade and custom)
  
  
  
  -Every page on your site should have a different title tag -- right now they are all the same -- this is essentially confusing the search engine
  
  
  
  -What are the terms for which you want to appear on top in search? Pick 1-3 and then make sure that they appear in your title tag, high up on your actual page, and then 1 or 2x somewhere else on the page.
  
  
  
  Here is a great easy resource:

  Hi Nataly,
  
  Wow, thank you!! Your advice is great, and I checked out the website you attached and got a WHOLE lot of info too! Now I have some work to do on my site!
  
  
  
  By the way, I just love this WIM website - I only found it a few days ago and have already met some wonderful women and learned a great deal. This is such a perfect resource!
  
  Thanks so much!
