    The first thing you should do is fix all the coding errors on your pages. If you view the source, you can see that the link to the css file is wrong. The home page isn't validating and shows 123 errors.

    The more original content you add to the site, the better. To get natural search engine traffic, you are going to need a lot of backlinks (people linking to your site). Google doesn't show any. Getting natural search engine traffic requires a lot of work - and it's a slow process that doesn't happen overnite. You are competing with thousands of others sites that want traffic to their site. The good news is that everything you need to do can be found by taking the time to read this forum.

    I will pay someone to fix my first page of my website and as a bonus I have customers from time to time that want me to do websites for them . It is a spin off from my business package I sell. good opportunity for us both to make a few bucks. everyone let me know your best prices. thanks www.oceandriftwood.com

    To be centered on the browser.
    Everything is to the right, with huge white space on the left.
    Surely someone can do this for him quick and easy.

    Way to get sales

    Change your title
    Add description to header tag
    Add keywords

    This will make a big difference alone (for organic results)

    Someone is selling vouchers for new adwords accounts with $40 worth of credit for $5.

    Might be a good starting point ???


    Regards
