		<description>In the interest of science I decided to compile a detailed report on the above website for its primary keywords, My findings are as shown below.

Keyword 1 = &lt;strong&gt;web directory&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Optimization advice&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;A. General page properties &lt;/strong&gt;
 
 
&lt;strong&gt;Page URL &lt;/strong&gt;
 
1. Your keyword isn't present in the URL! Our research of hundreds of search engines top-lists shows that keyword presence in the URL is crucial for achieving high rankings in a search engine's results list. By placing keywords in your domain name, you gain a serious advantage with search engines. If your URL points to an already established and high-ranked web page, we do not recommend altering it. However, this factor is worth considering when you create new pages / sites. Most major search engines favor websites with keywords in their URL; however, remember to use them sensibly and not to abuse them. When optimizing a page for a key phrase, separate keywords in the URL with a hyphen (domain/web-site.html) or an underscore (domain/web_site.html), but do not write them as one word. Otherwise, search engines will understand it as a single word (even if the search engine result highlights this keyword in bold), and your work on URL optimization will be wasted. 
 

&lt;strong&gt;B. Main on-the-page factors influencing your ranking &lt;/strong&gt;
 
 

&lt;strong&gt;1.  area:   &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt; tag&lt;/strong&gt;   
 
1. Your Title tag is not the first tag in the  area of your page! Your Title tag should be placed before all other tags, otherwise search engines may overlook it which will significantly damage your rankings. 
 
2. Your keyword is not as close to the beginning of the Title tag as it should be! Your keyword's prominence is only 50.0% while it should be at least 65%. If possible, move your keyword closer to the beginning of your Title to emphasize its importance and greatly improve your website's prominence. 
 
&lt;strong&gt;META Keywords &lt;/strong&gt;  
 
1. Your keyword weight in the META Keywords is too low! When it comes to this tag, the higher the keyword weight, the better. Meanwhile, on your page, keyword weight doesn't come to more than 11.1%. Try to remove the least informative and least relevant keywords, thus increasing keyword weight. 
 

2.  area:   
&lt;strong&gt;Text in links including ALTs   &lt;/strong&gt;
 
1. Your keyword too often appears in the ALT / TITLE attributes of text and graphical links on this page!  
 

&lt;strong&gt;C. Main off-the-page factors influencing your ranking &lt;/strong&gt;
 
&lt;strong&gt;Link popularity&lt;/strong&gt;   
 
1. Constantly improve the link popularity of your page! This function shows how many other Web pages are linking to yours. Link popularity is crucial for your search engines rankings. Remember that having few high-quality sites linking to you is far better than many irrelevant links. The only way to achieve Top-10 positions is to have very competitive keywords and good link popularity. IMPORTANT: ask other webmasters to include your keywords when they link to this page. Also, make it your everyday task to acquire new links, and follow the overall development of your thematic niche. Try to interest the sites that are ranked high for your keywords so that they link to you. 
 
&lt;strong&gt;Theme &lt;/strong&gt;  
 
1. Your keyword is poorly present throughout Titles of Web pages across your site! We have found it in 4.5% Titles. The theme of your site is an important factor which influences your rankings. We recommend that you put your keyword into at least 27% page Titles on your site. 
 
&lt;strong&gt;Open Directory Project listing (dmoz.org)&lt;/strong&gt;   
 
1. Your site is not presented in DMOZ listing! Submission to this leading Internet directory is an important step in website maintenance. As it is human-powered directory, all decisions are made by editors, not spiders. The presence of the site in the directory is the sign of high quality and informative value. Moreover, the leading search engines such as Google start indexing new web pages from DMOZ. Please, go to "Suggest URL" page and submit your site. To make the procedure easy and correctly, use "Web CEO Submission", "Manual Submission" tab. 
 
&lt;strong&gt;Rank details &lt;/strong&gt;  
 
1. Your Google PageRank is 3! Google Page Rank is one of the most important evaluating factors influencing your ranking. It is practically impossible to manipulate Google PageRank. Due to its workability, relevant and impartial results it gained great popularity. This algorithm defines your link popularity among other thematic resources. Every web page gets its own PageRank, it can vary in 0-10 scale on the Google Toolbar. Though well optimized, your pages will never get in the top results for very competitive keywords without high PageRank. The only way out is to increase constantly your link popularity. Get as many links as you can from authority relevant sites with high PageRank. 
 
2. Your Alexa Traffic Rank is 512990! Alexa is an organization that analyzes world's web traffic. There is a community of people that use Alexa Toolbar, a small utility that gathers information about what websites they visit, how many pages they view. The information then transmitted to Alexa and analyzed. The quantity of Alexa toolbar users and the number of pages viewed by them are adjusted to approximate number of internet users. Then the popularity of different sites is approximately measured. In terms of the Alexa Traffic Rank, the closer a site gets to the number 1 position, the more traffic a site receives. For example, if to take Google, its main page has Alexa TR 3. That means that www.google.com is the third most visited page in the web. There are two main methods to heighten the traffic rank: 1) Work at the content of your site. Rouse interest of your visitors in your site. Interesting and informative content will certainly make them visit your site again and again and make them spread links to you among their friends; 2) Work at you rankings on the search engines. The better the rankings, the more frequently your site is found on the result pages of SEs, the more surfers will click on your site's link. 

I hope this helps you in your mission for SEO friendliness.

Thanks
