On audiobookspro.com you can find Audiobooks (http://www.audiobookspro.com/). Let's see how this looks, I mean sounds.
Site OPENED in two seconds on T1 connection (Eutrope), but speed test shows much worse results (http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://abc.go.com/). Home page is loaded with images and scripts giving a total size of 448760 Kb which is way too much. 100Kb is considered as upper acceptable limit.
DNS timing (http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnstime.ch?name=audiobookspro.com&type=A) shows slow hosting also. Another speed test shows even greater problems (http://r.netmechanic.com/toolbox/summary.cgi?f=f/112/065/0604/23-10412/&s=NetMechanic&fv=5&ft=3). Especialy these HTML objects HIGHTH/WIDTH errors (http://r.netmechanic.com/toolbox/load_time.cgi?f=f/112/065/0604/23-10412/&p=1&vi=1&fp=1&fv=5&s=NetMechanic).
1. FIRST THING noticed was good looking and interesting title.
Second Thing was nice, disciplined design. Third was logo. Headphones are not distincly seen on a first look.
2. DESIGN: No additional comments :)
Site's look in: Firefox, Opera, Konqueror... (http://browsershots.org/website/http://www.audiobookspro.com/)
3. NAVIGATION: LEFT MENU: Browse by categories instruction is not needed. Links should be rewriten into static ones (http://seochat.com/seo-tools/url-rewriting/).
4. CONTENT: First: It is maybe obvious but it is not said on the beginning what Audiobooks actually are. Is it e-book, video, music only...So a very short comprehensive explanation (extensive Help available though) would be nice. Music Videos can be downloaded along with MP3 player if needed. WAV format availablealso. Instructions how to burn a CD added. Some free songs available. All videos are reviewed.
5. PR = 0
6. INDEXED PAGES: in Google: 1,120
7. BACKLINKS in Google: 0 . Backlinkwatch.com shows 33 links, but all seems to come from PR0 sites.
Anchor text used in backlinks: "Audiobooks", "Audiobooks online".
8. KEYWORDS:
Keyword analyzis (http://www.submitexpress.com/cgi-bin/analyzer/meta.pl?url=http://www.audiobookspro.com/) shows that not optimal keywords are on the Home page.
Title tag:
<title>Are YOU listening? - Would you like to listen to a new audiobook? Or how about a thrilling audio drama? Would you like to have it NOW, without having to visit the b...</title>
Very long. Should contain more keywords, other should be removed.
No H1 tag. It should contain "Audiobook" or other keyword.
Keywords suggestions:[ (http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword/)B] "download audio book", "audiobook on CD", "mp3 audiobook", "child audiobook" etc.
How Search Engine Spiders see the Home page (http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/se-bot-simulator.html?op=se-bot-simulator&go=1&pageurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.audiobookspro.com%2F&se=googlebot&submit=Start). Script used should not be on the beginning.
