    if you goto google text cache of the page you will see the text is almost all links, plus your price shows as black on black, probably due to external css ?

    try adding more text to the page, it should help IMHO

    in g's text cache of the page, the text for the price shows as black text on a black back ground

    This might not be a problem as such, i don't know how google treats external css, but i always have used googles text cache file to see what google see's on the page when working on sites.

    in the text version of googles cache images obviously do not show... alt tags for them do which you are not using on your puter pics

    i have always worked from the assumption that the text cache is what it basically has to do its searches from so basically if it was me, would add some alt tags to the pics of puters and add more text to the page.

    i also notice you have you keywords repeated in a comments tag just below your meta tags ... not a good idea from what i understand.

    possibly those that know more will be able to spot other things.

    think you can get around that by just specifying a base colour for text such as
    </head>
     <body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFCC00" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF">
    Code (markup):
    then your css file would override those settings, but even without css the page would be readable.

    your site has a PR of 4 , if you try to get more backlinks from related sites , and increase your PR to lets say 6 , this will rise your rankings .. Also try to find out what PR your competitors have .
