Semantic Structure
Your Web design appears to use headers elements properly. Search engines use header elements to determine the context and purpose of your Web page. Headers provide semantic structure and meaning to Web pages, and search engines, like Google, give preferential treatment to Web design that use headers properly.
Page Content
Your page appears to contain 300 or more words. Having at least 300 words of original content per page enables search engines to better understand your website, and increases the chances of someone finding your page.
Obsolete & Deprecated HTML
We didn’t find any instances of obsolete or deprecated HTML. This means that your Web page is using modern Web design techniques, and uses a proper combination of XHTML and CSS.
Inline Styles
Your Web page appears to use inline styles (which may include header styles). To reduce your page size and to adhere to modern Web design standards, all styles should be separated from the Web page. Styles should be defined in a CSS document that references the elements, IDs, and classes in the XHTML document.
Download Size/Time
The size of your HTML is 33.96KB
The size of your Web page is perfect for search engine optimization. Search engines, like Google, reward Web designs that make an effort to reduce the size of their HTML content. Also, condensed content helps search engines better target your Web page for specific keywords.
Total Page Size
It’s always important to pay attention to your total page size. If your other files (like images and scripts) are large, it may make your website load slowly for users who do not have broadband connections. In general, it’s good practice to try to keep your Web pages as small as possible.
- HTML: 33.96KB
- Images: 9.81KB
- CSS: 14.21KB
- Scripts: 233.11KB
Total: 291.1KB
Outgoing Links
Your Web page doesn’t appear to be using the rel=”nofollow” anchor attribute. It’s important to use this attribute for outgoing links that you cannot verify, are not related to the content of your Web page, and/or link to Web pages with low PageRank. Otherwise, search engines may penalize your Web page for links they deem to be untrustworthy.
Overall Score for Design
Congratulations! Your Web design scored 90 points out of a possible 100. Your Web page may not be perfectly optimized, it contains most of the elements necessary for search engine optimization.
This page can be bookmarked for future reference. If you are the webmaster of http://www.sailboatvn.co.uk/, and you decide to make optimization changes, you can revisit this page and run the Web design report again

It’s actually made me surprise how quick it is to be on #1 google ranking after just 2 days submitting my blog to Processional-On-The-Web site.
All you need to do is filling a simple Signup form and finally add up-to 10 keywords for your site.. That’s just it.
I tried to use 10 keywords as below:
web-development-blog, web-developer-newcastle, php-developer-newcastle, tradingeye-developer, accessible-ecommerce-blog, dave-sniper-blog, dave-bui-blog, seo-marketing-newcastle-uk, tradingeye-customisation, web-accessibility-blog
Surprisingly, I tried to look for “Web development Blog Newcastle” in Google Search Engine and my blog link was promoted to be number 1 google ranking
Questions:
1. Did Google treat my keyword as a phrase? I used the hyphens to concatenate all main words and to make a quality keyword (like a phrase)
2. Why Professionalontheweb.com site has to list all of my tags there ?
3. What would happen if you have perfect keywords, description in your Meta tags but the page content does not actually have anything relate to it?
All answers are welcome.
