Name of Site/Business: Camden-Grey Essential Oils

Please Review the following:
Does the home page sufficiently convince people to go further into the site?

Does/can the site achieve its main purpose?

Navigation. Is it clear and easy to understand?

Appearance/Attractiveness

Images failing to load

Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?



Additional Comments/Notes
Thanks for any input you experienced folks can provide while we decide how to make our site more attractive and less cluttered. I'm not happy with the looks of our site any longer.

do you have up a redirect on this site? I assume that is what is going on..

why the need for this site opening into a different domain ?

Thanks for replying. I'm new to all of this website stuff because our webmaster has always handled the site for us but at this time I want to take a more active role in everything related to our site. I've run a couple of analytical reports on the site searching for where we rank. I found it "interesting" that camdengrey.com ranks extremely low when compared to bestdeal.org a site our webmaster set up and which I believe has been running for years. Do you have any idea why he'd have set up a different domain for our site? I know he does a lot with his own ad words and other sites, so I don't know if the reason for the different domain is self serving for him. Help!

bestdeal.org - seems to sell domains.

camdengrey.com - sells essential oils.

I see no link. What's the question?

Camdengrey has some very serious issues, that need rapid fixing. I see the "discount until the end of the month" notice. That's not good.

g1smd - when I tried to review the site requested bestdeal.org it opens to camdengrey.com

Hence I could not review it as it kept opening into a new site.

Does it not do that for you?

Yesterday, bestdeal was selling domains. Today, it issues a 302 redirect to the other site.

That 302 redirect is very bad. It means that their URLs can hijack your Google listings. Your site tanks in the SERPs. Your content gets to be listed under their URLs.

I guess you wouldn't want that to happen.

Try these Google searches:
site:bestdeal.org -inurl:www
site:www.bestdeal.org
site:camdengrey.com -inurl:www
site:www.camdengrey.com


Have you got any other domains, any with hyphens, any other TLDs, any mis-spellings?
