    Hey eveyone... I'm in the process of launching the following site:
    http://www.1031store.com

    It's my first, so I'd be interested in hearing what you think about any/everything.

    Really enjoyed creating the site, took some time to do from hand... Look forward to hearing from you...

    Looked at it for a sec.

    I recommend you take a look at it in Firefox.

    uh-oh... had some trouble with the center frame between the browsers.... see it drooping a little, and know that it was a pixel shy (IE and FF) a little different there...

    Anything else? It's cool, rather here from it here...

    Oh, I like that the text are changing by hoovering over links, I like it a lot, a lot. Not have to load new page to read new text, ahhh, heaven....

    But do the search engines like it ?

    I think that it is SE friendly, hoping that it is.

    I've shot a few robots through the to see that they've read the text, and check keyword density, and they pick it up... I'm assuming that that means that it can be read.

    Yes , you are right of course, didnt check enough, its all in the source code.
    But here comes a tricky question:
    Can Google see this as cloaked or hidden content ? That would be BAD.

    Did I mention that i love It ?

    LOL... thank you chowbow...

    Know what you mean about being visibile in Google... I think that it is... agree with you... that would not be good... but pretty sure that it does.

    I'll go with an overall B (that's great in this forum!), but if you have a color suggestion to improve, I"m all ears.

    Also, hope that you guys didn't catch me while I was fiddling with some css behind the scenes to even up the FF trouble that I was having on the front page.

    chowbow, what I did was run the code through poodle predictor:
    http://www.gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go

    And I like this spider too:
    http://www.widexl.com/remote/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html

    I'm a little concerned about google and the other SE reading the anchor text in the Javascript, but pretty confident that they get the text behind the main frame. Otherwise, yeah, I wouldn't have gone for the effect...

    BTW... this is really helpful... thanks guys...

    Nice for a first site, sort of cluttered but the design is pretty nice.
