    your title should have a better structure.. try adding some keywords, and your site brand should be there.. example MarketPost.net Your solution for SEO, Website Hosting, HTML Coding and much more!

    Also i wouldnt use a hover effect that changes big text to small. It creates a very bad effect if you put your mouse just on the far right side of the link. Thats not SEO just design.

    your heading text should be an h1 tag, and should at least somewhat match your title tag.

    look at this seo list for some more ideas

    I want to talk about this alittle, would the <bold> tag be as effective as the <h1> tag? I use CSS to style my text and wouldnt want to change the sites look to much for seo, becuase you all know the human eyes better than any spider.
    Thanks for all your other tips and i apreciate the link:)

    no h1 tags will be the header of the most important part of the page, then h2 .. h3 etc.

    you can style the h1 tag in your css like so

    h1{color: #6097BF;
    
    	font-family: Arial;
    	font-size: 14pt;
    	text-decoration: none;
    }
    Code (markup):

    H1 is very important to the spider. It uses it to measure the relavency of the page contents. It carries as much weight as the title.

    Also - dont use the bold tag bold here as it is substandard, use strong [strong] for bold and emphasis [em] for italics. This isn't SEO, as they both have the same weight, just design and standards.
