My turn to ask for your help!

4000+ Cocktail recipes! Made from scratch using mysql, php and mod rewrite.

Tried to put a little seo on it... did I made it right?

what would you do to it? thanks in advance!

I like the design of this, and to me it looks well-optimised for search engines.

However, your own search engine could use a little bit of work! Try searching for 'tabasco' - it misses most of the cocktails with tabasco in (presumably because of that ® mark?) and when you click on the Tabasco® Sauce link on that page, it takes you to an error page which also breaks the layout a bit, shifting the bottom half of the word 'coktail' in your logo over to the right (I'm looking at this in Firefox).

The only other change I'd make is 'to be served on a' - shurely 'in a'?

Sorry to offer only rather niggling suggestions - I guess that's what you get for having a generally well-designed site eh? =)

Other than what Oolong pointed out I didn't find anything wrond. Looks good, in fact I even bookmarked it for future reference in drink making. I think I might even have to add it to my links on my site.

I like the way everything is grouped to allow easier searching of a particular drink mix.

yeah... got it... I'm currently trying to do a little better on the search... I know it has some bugs. And yes, most of them are related to the ® thing...

Hi Your site is great on content
I am not that much of a webmaster to give the best suggestions but i'll say anyway with the idea that some suggestion might help
1. Can you make the page a lil less crowded? perhaps by shifting out some things to other pages with its link only on home page and using slightly bigger fonts plus some breathing spaces between sections. The pages will be more appealing then although they will increase which is good cos then you can add google to more pages

2. is it possible to add some interactive stuff like review and votes by visitors, plus a chance for them to submit even more recipes

3. Lastly why have you chosen the color of shXX as back ground color for pages? is it possible to use a light rose' or something else?
