When I do a search for
www.fussybaby.ca on google, I'm not sure how to tell if the pages it displays are in the main index or supplemental. Help?
Is the page important for those keywords? Should a privacy policy appear on "fussy baby help"? Nah. Is the baby monitor page relevant for "fussy baby nutrition"? Nah. Is it good for "baby monitor"? Of course.
The reason I say this is simply that if you put in your keywords to the search engines and your pages come up on the first page then awesome! If the page comes up on page 6 of the results then it needs work. Just make sure you are checking the correct search terms for the proper page. If you put in "Fussy baby" and don't see your baby monitors then don't sweat it. If you put in "baby monitor for fussy babies" and it doesn't come up THEN fix THAT page. Remember, each page stands on it's own merit. Search engines have no concept (for all intents and purposes) of sites but rather pages. Google and Yahoo don't care that the food and the monitors are in the same site... they just care that baby monitors gives a good list of pages of baby monitors and that fussy nutrition gives a good list of pages of fussy nutrition info.
Most of all, don't over-emphasize the results of search engines. Yes it is pretty doggone important to get to the top but it takes months to get there from a startup. Some people never make it because they keep chasing the latest fads or "black hat" techniques and then just as they are about to make the first page the engine slams that technique that it never liked and poof, they're on page 64. Just make a good page that says something important, get good links to it from, preferably, related sites that are not your own and do a lot of waiting. If a search engine changes their algorithm 2 times a year then you may have to wait 6 months for it to START to benefit you. Then if you did just the right things you'll start to bubble to the top -- unless you get nervous and try the next great fad.
Certainly don't forget about SEO issues, but find some good forums and read what people say that are tried and true. If they have topics like "Get to the top in 3 months" then I'd say avoid them. If they tell you to make a good page that is usable then there's hope for them. There is no secret trick or fast-track to the top.
I'm sorry it's a bit wordy but I hope this helps.
