You have no doubt seen our posts analyzing the sites for Karen Handel and Ray McBerry. This is the much anticipated and might I add “requested” site analysis for John Oxendine’s campaign for Georgia Governor. I have spoken with Team Ox staffers and they were eagerly looking forward to an objective review so they can make any changes early in the campaign.

JohnOxendine.com is a clean site, good content and visuals. However, when using Internet Explorer, there’s an error message on page entry (bottom left of the screen). It would be worth fixing since it will cause some visitors to wonder what the mistake might be. It doesn’t seem to affect performance. The error doesn’t show up in Firefox or Chrome.

On the bottom of the page, there’s a cell separated as if to imply that it should contain some content and there’s nothing there. We suggest either merge the cells or put something there.

Also some of the site hyperlinks jump to another page on the same site in new window. This isn’t really necessary since they’re staying on the site.

Meta tags:
You might want to mention the keywords “Governor’s race”, but that’s just our opinion. You have room.

On the descriptions meta tag, it’s just pulling text from the page. You have 200 characters to use, write something effective.

Meta tag keywords – where are they? You are allowed 1,000 characters, use them! Search engines are starving for your keywords, take advantage of this simple tool in the code.

Links:
You have 3,199 links. Good job.

Overall, the site has a good mix of flash and html content. It should keep the masses coming back for more as long as they keep the content fresh and updated.
