Northern Shakespeare Company

Its very good Alan.

You need to get google to recognise it though...and I was impressed to see the meta tags were all in! So often these are left out in websites. However I think there are too many charcters in the description tag (about 200 charcters is the limit)

The relevancy of the description words and the keywords in the meta tags is not great. ie: On your opening page a bit more content matching your best keywords and phrases will help you getting high positions on search engines.

To help your optimisation of the site:
You can add alt tag text to the pictures, the search engines pick up on this too....I think...least they used to!

Also take out a google account (tot free!) and get yourself an .xlm site map onto the server (your webmaster will help you with this) and make sure the site is def submitted with google/yahoo etc. DO NOT PAY FOR WEBSITE OPIMISATION!!

Get some links to releavant Co's and make sure they link back to your site. This will help you achive a really good google position.

Finally: http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html is a useful free checking site tool...worth a look!

Really nice looking site Alan...just a bit of optimising work req to help it in google!

Alan - Having a bad time trying to get on to your web site. Just keep getting " page under design", which is quite obviously a load of Toro merde, as other people access easily.

I have no problem at all, Allan. Just copy and paste the following:
www.northernshakespearecompany.co.uk
into your search area and it will come up.

I've been off CCP for a good few months now. How lovely to see that you have set-up a theatre company Alan. Huge credit to you & I wish you continued success with it. Will definitely spread the word & hope to catch one of your shows at some point soon! nadia x

Hi Alan,
I loved the website, easy to use and interesting.
Along with everyone else that has posted I'd love to be involved. Do you post auditions on CCP?
Best wishes,
Sophie

Can you recommend a good pub in York? Will be there Friday nite. I've been working on the Wars of the Roses for some years now, this is my first visit to this city.

Just around the corner towards the York Theatre Royal is a pub nicknamed 'The Wonky Donkey'. A real ale man's version of heaven. The sign on the front says 'Three Legged Mare'. But don't ask for that no-one knows it by that name. Just ask for the 'Wonky Donkey'.
Enjoy.

Thank you, Alan, I'll do that. I'll drink a toast to the success of the Northern Shakespeare Company.

Ah, you see, if only I were still living in York, Alan...:) I did the first ever Shakespearean production presented in Clifford's Tower, I believe...

But do make sure yourself, and Dean, and the rest of the crew break a leg!

Dean is always worried that I'll break his leg!!
Thanks to all of you for your good wishes. I ought to start a blog (if only I knew what a blog was)

Great website Alan. I shall be bookmarking it!
I can see why Dubai was attractive- as I'm sure that you wouldn't get such a great suntan in Derby!
Have a great time, as I'm sure you will...
