Critique and advice needed

JPphoto

Im not 100% sure if I'm searchable on Google. I check Google analytics but under search its like 0.
Could someone take a gander and maybe give me some advice on making my site more professional, and searchable.

Thanx in advance.

Your Smugislands settings look good: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93329-smugislands

You have a page title [ photo wildlife nature Blue Beard Imagery - Jorge Perez New Jersey ], which is good.

Your site is fairly new, so it might not have been fully crawled by the search sites yet. Give it some time.

On Google, 'BlueBeard Imagery' is the top hit for me and it's your SmugMug site.

Feeding search engines requires words. Your site includes both captions and keywords; that's a good start. Have you considered an "about" page where you include some words about yourself? If you don't want a separate page you could add some text to your guestbook for that purpose.

Your site description includes references to things that don't appear on your site. I don't see any raptors, and while you have 4 photos of vehicles your site description implies there will be photos of vehicle shows.

Inbound links are also important. Do you have a blog? Do you post on forums other than dgrin, posting links to your site?

Yup I have links to my site on all my forums signatures. An about page is next to do, I just suck at writing about myself in anyways( my dating sites ads are horrible lol). Eagles are raptors And I have some shows to get too. Air show in Aug, wolves in the fall.

Does showing the keywords on the main page matter at all?

It's not needed to display the keyword box, but there might be a positive effect for search engines from having it enabled. You could consider creating a separate find page where the keyword box among others is displayed. Check out the tutorial here.
