Hi Mike,
I just noticed in the source code on your main index page that you have no site description or keywords in the META Tags.
Now it seems to me that if you eliminate a lot of text on your welcome page and have no Tags other than the Title that search engines would have an awful hard time indexing the site, resulting in a low or no placement in their index.
From everything about search engine placement I've read you need to have a good blend of title, description and keywords to compliment page content.
It's just a thought I had and I would pass along.

That's on the to-do list

I know, I know.... :-)

Actually, most search engines don't give the meta tags much weight anymore - because people would just use them to manipulate the results. The folks at Google aren't dumb.... Things like the actual content, the pattern of people clicking on your link, and other sites linking to you tend to affect search ranking much more than the meta tags.

Still, that's on the to-do list. If you have a list of keywords you'd like to suggest, feel free to post them (maybe in the site suggestions forum).

Thanks,

Mike

done

The pages now have the standard basic meta tags. Still, if you have any suggestions on keywords, feel free to post them.
