    Is anyone here who could take a minute and help me? I was removing some lines an optimization program told me were not needed, such as DC lines and revisit after so many days, but I somehow changed something that shouldn't have been and now evidentally my text is not visible to the search engines. (according to IBP8)
    Thanks,
    Carol Wiley

    Code (markup):
    You're missing a closing </head> tag. It needs to go in where I've shown it in blue.

    Never heard of that junk before, but I sure wouldn't use anything that says that it will "Get top 10 rankings on Google, Yahoo, MSN Search and others."

    It needed a <body> after the head. Don't know how I managed to remove that. Just fixed it thanks to my son-in-law. Thanks all I appreciate your help!

    I know no one can get you in the top 10, although I was there before Jagger, but it has some very nice tools to use. It compares what you have with what is required and compares what you have to the web sites listed for the top 10 positions for different keywords. It tells you the percentage of keywords you have and how many the competition has, if you have more room to ad keywords or if you need to take them out, if your keywords are mentioned in the body text and that sort of thing that one might overlook.
