Hi WA Colleagues,
I installed XML Sitemap plugin on my website www.naturalhealthranger.com over a week ago to see if this would get my site indexed as it was not. I checke
I think you have too much going on with your home page. This page should be your page to introduce to your potential customers as to what you are going yo teach them, how you are planing on doing it, where you are going with it, and when you will teach them more. Like someone said earlier about too many H1 titles on it. Take each one of the titles and create a whole post about them. That way you can bring traffic yo your site ftom different directions. I hope this helps you. Just let people know that hou do know what you are talking about.

Hi Tommy, thanks for comment. I can see your point but I had chosen this particular theme because of its easy to follow front page. I now see the problems this is presenting so I have a couple of choices to make. Do I created a Page and have that as my front page or do I try a different theme.

Thanks Jacob, that's very useful, I will bank that as I have now got my site verified by Google. Just need to check back at the end of the week to see if pages are getting indexed.
Hi Dave! Mike gave you a good advice. As for traffic, it will start over time and to see it you need to create more content and while creating it, look for more low competitive keywords. Some keywords generate low traffic, some not at all. The more content you have the more chances that your traffic will grow over time. I am personally working on my site and will not publish it until I have 100 pages of content. Wish you the best!
Hi Rufat, thanks for your comment. Yes, I do need to create more traffic and I guess as you say once my content level is higher I will start to get some traffic. My problem is I am to eager to get my site up and running when I should really spend my time on preparation.
Hi Dave, it would appear that your site was last looked at by Google on the 30 December. Dave check your headers you should have only one per page, more than one and Google cannot figure out what your site is about. My system says you have 15
codes on front page.
Hi Mike, thanks for the feedback. As this seems to be a feature of this particular theme's home page I will have to look at either creating my own front page or try a different theme. How did you find out how many codes my front page has. That would be very useful to know.
Check out this blog I wrote. Did you do the things listed?

Hi Kamali, I created a Google Webmaster account and tried to verify my site and in the process I noticed a missing line in header.php that I must of deleted when I added the google analytics script. So I corrected that and now managed to get my site verified by Google. But it seems I have another issue now with too many codes on front page so I need to try and sort that out. As I always say "If we didn't make mistakes we would learn as much". Thanks for help.
