Sorry Sharky, can\'t allow the link.

Silly sharky_uk, you should know by now that you are not allowed to link to sites that promote \'rival\' online poker rooms!!

(Apart from www.apat.com of course!!)

Also, I don\\\'t know if it is possible for you to use so-called \\\'friendly URLs\\\'.
I.e. instead of: /blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=198
you would have: /blondepedia/jennifer-mason
Once set up it is automatic, and it\\\'s better for both search engines and humans :-)

Here is a link: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Apache/Search-Engine-Friendly-URLs-with-mod-rewrite/

Anyway, well done & good luck

There is a serious, overlooked flaw in Blondepedia, which is that it uses Flash as its sole means of navigation.  A visitor to the site who does not have Flash is totally unable to explore the site.  With Flash browser penetration approaching 99%, you might think this not to be a great problem.  But remember that your site\'s Number One Most Important Vistor does NOT have Flash... and that visitor is Googlebot.

In its current state, Google will not properly index the Blondepedia website.  I am no SEO expert, but I believe this will severely limit Blondepedia\'s PageRank (Google\'s scoring system).  I challenge you to point to examples of websites that are constantly on the top of Google listings, which use Flash as their sole means of navigation.  As far as Google (and other search engines) are concerned, every single page on Blondepedia is a \"dead end\", and this (among other things) will lead to a low PageRank.

In other words: in its current state, Blondepedia will effectively not be search-engine listed, and as a result will receive little/no incoming hits.

To be honest, the Flash menu on Blondepedia does not bring anything to the site; and the header and footer are pure gratuitousness.  If you want Blondepedia to gain hits other than those from \'within the fold\', you would do well to replace the Flash navigation with, say, a more semantically-correct styled unordered list.
