Robin Nobles review of inexpensivescrubs.com
Robin Nobles's review of inexpensivescrubs.com

Article Date: 12.10.02




I'm going to concentrate on the <head> section of the page --

<title> Scrubs | Nursing Uniform | Scrubs Nurse Uniform | Medical Uniform Scrubs for Nurses, Doctors, Vets, Medical Nursing Students, Fund Raisers </title>

The title is just a listing of keywords, rather than a captivating title. Try reading it out loud. It's not easy to read. Searchers are such "scanners," and they scan through a title, and if it's a little difficult to read, they may skip to the next site. I would rewrite the title and make it focus on whatever the most important keyword phrase for the site is -- and make the title tag drag me into the site!


<!--> scrubs, nursing uniform, nurse uniform, medical scrubs, nursing scrubs, nurse scrubs, nurses uniform, hospital scrubs, hospital uniform, surgical , scubs, doctors, discount, cheap, pants, tops, shirts, lab coat, labcoat , wholesale, retail, distributor, healthcare, physician, veterinarians, student, warmup jacket, dentist, vets, aides, inexpensive, low cost -->

You can get rid of the comment tag, since none of the major engines consider the contents for relevancy. It's doing you no good.


<META name=> "keywords" content="scrubs, nursing uniform, nurse uniform, uniforms, medical scrubs, nursing scrubs, nurse scrubs, nurses uniform, hospital scrubs, hospital uniform, surgical , scubs, doctors, discount, cheap scrubs, pants, tops, shirts, lab coat, labcoat , wholesale, retail, distributor, healthcare, physician, veterinarians, student, warmup jacket, dentist, vets, aides, inexpensive, low cost">

I'm a "focus focus focus" sort of optimizer. I would get rid of all of the keywords except the most important keyword phrase for that particular page, plus a few synonyms. I wouldn't try to list a bunch of keywords. The keyword META tag holds very little importance these days, and including a keyword or phrase in that tag and no where else on the page is NOT going to get you a good ranking for that page.


<meta name=> "description" content="Scrubs Nursing Uniform | Scrubs Nurse Uniform | and Medical Scrubs Uniform for Nurses, Doctors, Vets, Medical Nursing Students, Fund Raisers">

Though many engines don't use the description META tag in the search results any more, I would still create a captivating description designed to pull in traffic and not just list a series of keywords.

Of course, you'll want to use your most important keyword phrase in all three of these tags above -- toward the beginning of each tag.


<META NAME=> "revisit-after" content="15 days">

If you use this tag, will the robots revisit after 15 days? Nooooooooo. The robots will visit on THEIR schedule (regretfully). I have had optimizers tell me that using this tag will cause the spider to remain on the page longer, but I have never tested that concept out myself and have no real proof.

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL">

No reason to use this tag -- unless you tell the robots to stay out, they will all come in. :)

<META NAME> ="rights" content="Copyright Inexpensive Scrubs. All material, text, and graphic images contained herein is owned by Inexpensive Scrubs. 2002"> <meta> http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

I would delete the last two META tags -- they're not necessary to the page, and you're already using a copyright notice at the bottom of the page.

I believe in keeping the head section of the page as simple and clean as possible.

Hope this helps!
