    Dear All

    Please could you review my site www.chocolate-fountain-directory.com and I would be grateful for any honest comments and feedback. I have two major problems with this site that I can't resolve. The first issue is that the rank for the home page for the keyword 'chocolate fountain' in Google is about 500. The second issue is that around 50% of the internal pages are in the supp index although they all have unique meta tags.

    The site has around 300 backlinks to the homepage in google and over 500 in yahoo. I have just started article and social bookmarking submission and the effect is that these improve the rankings for a couple of days and then it drops back, again, any comments would be gratefully received!

    What I would suggest is to add a bevel on your left menu's table so the transition from the menu to background is smoother. Also for your adsense ad, try matching the background to your site's BG color for better blending.

    LOL, I know this sounds funny but your design seems a little out dated! The buttons are slow loading too... However, I do like you niche lol.. You have good content on the front page! But if I was a visitor that just found the site by accident I would not have gone back... So just a few minor adjustments for you to work out.. Nothing major.. And just my feedback~


    Regards!

    Thanks all, yep, the buttons are a real pain, may have to move back to non graphic buttons and thanks for the adsense tip, I will do this, any other reviews and comments would be gratefully received!

    How do I get this thing higher in the SERPS though, many of the internal pages flip in and out of the supp index, I have done all of the on site optimization that I can think of and I have systematically added links but none of these have any significant impact on the rankings. As an aside, does anyone think that SEO software such as IBP is worth the investment?
