    Optimize you code and content. I would also remove some of your html comments...

    Did you validate your code? Try entering your site's urls here and see how many errors you get:
    http://validator.w3.org/

    Second, I would work on the design. I think the design isn't what it should be.

    1. Everything underneath the top menu ontop of the blue background looks a mess
    2. The main picture looks pretty unprofessional and poorly sized/squashed
    3.Also everything in the footer looks a mess

    Sort them 3 things out and it wont look to bad !!

    in the check out page, it says:
    1. warning: contains unauthenticated content. not a serious issue but you may take a look at it.
    2. i think you will be facing some duplicate content issue , for example:

    http://www.talksurfnplay.com/main.sc
    is having the same content as:
    http://www.talksurfnplay.com/main.sc;jsessionid=01F110E3A1BAF66ABAC074BF93A1F49E.qscstrfrnt02

    Do you allow search engines to index both URLs?

    its okay, i guess, better than mine, but i think you should make more pages instead of squashing everything into the home page

    flangames, you are on the right track, everything looks good.

    To everyone else thank you. I have the hardest time with html, I am learning, just not fast enough.

    Color scheme is good, layout is good but the content is not in a nice format. Try arranging the text into more formal way. Arrange the footer links. A nice banner will be a plus. Good luck buddy and you're in a right track.

    Does anyone know of a program that will actually highlight html errors. I have found a few that say that they will correct errors, but I want something that will actually point out errors instead of fixing them. I want to learn the correct way of doing html, and most of my stuff is copy from text, and paste into html format.

    Optimize you page frequently. You add some more title relevant to your site. Keep updated content. This things will surely help you a lot.

    One suggestion from my side is that, put different and relevant meta tags with relevant keywords on every page.
