  • Jim Munro: Your homepage has two canonicals. You might be making Googlebot giddy. :)

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://slim24pro.com"/>
    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.slim24pro.com/index.php"/>

    Why is the beacon at the bottom of your source code enlcosed in noscript tags. Doesn't that mean only Googlebot can see it?

    All of your Homepage links point to ;http://slim24pro.com/index.php instead of ;http://slim24pro.com/

    Your logo is not linked. It should have an alt tag of slim24 Pro and point to ;http://slim24pro.com/. The url could have a title tag of slim 24 Pro

    Why is this your copyright notice? (© 2013,Telemart Shopping Network Private Limited, All Rights Reserved.) In an earlier post you said that you were the original owner of the product.
  • ankita sharma: dint get what you ment by "Why is the beacon at the bottom of your source code enlcosed in noscript tags. Doesn't that mean only Googlebot can see it?"
  • Jim Munro: My fault. I meant to ask for advice before adding that question, I am probably wrong about this code:
    <noscript>
    <div style="display:inline;">
    <img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none;" alt="" src="//googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/991438471/?value=0&amp;label=NGCUCIm7wgcQh83g2AM&amp;guid=ON&amp;script=0"/>
    </div>
    </noscript>

    I am sure +Alistair Lattimore ;would know if the usage is applied correctly. :)
  • Alistair Lattimore: It's fine Jim, it's there for tracking in case the JavaScript tag doesn't fire.
  • Jim Munro: I've found a new way to make myself look silly. :)
