Meta Data

• The title has a length of 12 characters. Most search engines allow up 150 characters but only about 80 characters are displayed. Limiting the title to 70 characters is the best way to ensure correct display in search engines.
• We did not found a canonial URL for this website. Providing canonical URLs helps eliminate self-created duplicate content in the index of the search engines. The link popularity will be always forwarded to the canonical URL. All the major search engines support this format.
• A meta description with 127 chars found in the meta tags. The description should not exceed 200 chars. When you want Google to show your meta description in search results you should avoid using one and the same for all pages.

Technologies

• The server runs on Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) and PHP/5.3.1.
• The used doctype is XHTML 1.0 Transitional. The W3C recommends the use of XHTML. It's markup is logical, it encourages semantic code and it's easier to validate it whereby it gets lesser errors prone.
• We could not check the html source for the domain. Compliancy to the W3C standards should not have a big impact on the rankings, but you should try to follow it to avoid any problems search engines might have while crawling your site.
