    Thanks :)

    I've been working on SEO quite a bit, anyone have any site specific things they might have noticed that I may have overlooked?

    Thanks again for the great review! :p

    Your site design and colors is completely awesome. Love it. Very imagitive! The only thing is if someone doesn't have the intallation for flash when showing that error message at the top, its really hard to read, just to let you know. Other than that, everything looks great. Keep up on the good work!

    Thanks :)

    Yea I am working on putting up a static image that will look like the flash without the animation. That way users who don't have Javascript enabled, or simply don't have flash will still be able to get the full effect.

    Good idea. I still can't get over your design - its that awesome. It may be that because i'm in the process of trying to learn flash myself so seeing something like your site gives me more of a push on learning it so i can create unique designs as you have :)

    I love the design. Makes you feel like this is a website you can trust. Which I believe is very important. It loads up fairly quickly. Nice layout, I found what I was looking for. Don't need to go to Page A to find Page B...

    Overall very nice design!

    In terms of SEO you have a bit of work in front of you.

    1. 301 redirect from http://vallartadiscovery.com/ -------> http://www.vallartadiscovery.com/
    and you need to do this across the entire site. Mainly because to the search engines you have 2 duplicate sites.

    2. way more content look at this IP Camera Supply. See how after the page break there is loads of content, and an entire internal linking structure...you need to do this.
    I must say you have done a very good job with kw ratios. Continue that with more content.

    3. In your new content use highly targeted anchor text based on search frequency volume.

    If you want any more hints...drop me a PM.
