You may not like me after this comment, but your after constructive criticism so im here to give. As you know im a big follower in Web Standards so firstly:
  • I checked to see if your website validates & sure enough like many you have 100 errors on your homepage, not the greatest start as search engines can encounter difficulties while spidering your website. The markup is H TML 4.01 Transitional so it is easy to correct at least.
  • Your design is very very old, its a known fact that users on the web now prefer web2.0 style sites at least for the moment i suggest you pick up a free properly coded template to which you can add the content. You can get some great templates from sites like the OSWD & Open Source Templates.
  • You have got an obsessive amount of meta keywords, as great as you think this is, its not i recommend 10-20 of your top keywords which you use through out the page. Even though search engine's no longer use meta keywords your website may be penalized in the future for keyword stuffing so be careful.
  • Your meta description & title are excellent.
  • You have one image without alt text, for accessibility i suggest you give it one the image is /images/diecasting.
  • It would be an idea to add a blog to this site as it will increase your website rankings dramatically & add you to the blogosphere.
  • I noticed your domains do not redirect properly to each other, this is a subject i have recently raised with gotlinks & bziamge.org. I have explained it more below:
Search engines often regard www.kineticdiecasting.com and kineticdiecasting.com as two different websites unless you take specific measures to signal to them that they are the same site.

The best way to handle this situation is to setup what is known as a permanent redirect (or a "301" redirect) from one of these sites to the other. This way, any links that are pointing to the secondary site benefit the primary site, from an SEO perspective.

We could not detect a permanent redirect for this site, so it may be experiencing the negative effects of link fragmentation (some of the inbound links may point to www.kineticdiecasting.com and others to kineticdiecasting.com) For example, www.kineticdiecasting.com seems to have 3,127 inbound links whereas kineticdiecasting.com has 3,200 inbound links. By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website.
