    Hi Kim,

    Unfortunately, the PageRank of a website isn't directly related to Umbraco (or programming skills), it is more to do with how to structure your content, in terms of HTML and sitemap ... and then lots of other factors, such as number of backlinks, etc.

    My advice would be to try a different forum that specialises in SEO and Google PageRank, here are a few:

    WebmasterWorld Forum
    http://www.webmasterworld.com/home.htm

    WarriorForum:
    http://www.warriorforum.com/

    SEO chat, (PageRank forum):
    http://forums.seochat.com/google-page-rank-47/

    If you run into any Umbraco specific problems, be sure to come back, there will always be some one to help out!

    Best of luck, Lee.

    Hi Kim,

    There are a few things you can do right off the bat. 

     

    1. robots.txt
      Even though it restricts Google, they see it as a sign that you are serious about your site. So install this package:
      http://our.umbraco.org/projects/robotstxt-editor

    2. Canonical URLs
      Again, by telling Google how to interpret your site, you are telling them that you care about your site, and you take one step up again. So do as described here:
      http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/create-canonical-urls-using-xslt-macro

    3. Sitemap.xml
      Tell Google what pages are on your site. Install this package:
      http://our.umbraco.org/projects/sitemapxml
      But remember to also TELL Google about the sitemap.xml! Do it here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

    4. Make sure that the title isn't just the same on every page. Create an Xslt macro, that uses the name of the page as the title. Each page is different to Google. I.e. get rid of "<title>Dansk Kontor Center</title>" on every page and customize every page.
    5. Make sure that meta descriptions are unique to each page. Make sure they are not too long!
    6. Use Google Analytics to see what is going wrong. You could install this package if you want to see stats in your Dashboard: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/google-analytics-for-umbraco

    7. Stop using PDFs to display your current campaigns. Create pages for each campaign and one for each product.

    8. Make sure that every link that points out of the site is tagged with NOFOLLOW.

    9. Make sure that you link to your references websites instead of just listing their logos.

    10. Make sure that all images have a friendly name and not just logo_77x77.jpg.

    11. Root out all 404 errors such as the "Printanalyse" link on http://www.danskkontorcenter.dk/total-driftsaftale.aspx

    12. Make sure your Html is XHTML compliant.

    13. Don't create pages that are just copies of content on other pages as you have done on the subpages of http://www.danskkontorcenter.dk/multifunktionsprintere.aspx

    14. The list is longer... but the best place to start is here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
      Google has tools to analyze your site and give you recommendations. Follow these recommendations to the letter, and you will make Google happy... and they will give you more recommendations... and follow these and so on...

    Hope that helps... and you will surely be able to find much more information on sites that are specifically targeted Search Engine Optimization. Your best bet is still to use the tools that Google has given you.
