Jeff,

Here is a stab at just one of your sites to give you an
idea of how to make your submissions more effective. I
chose to review New-AgeShop.com
 <http://www.New-AgeShop.com>.

- You have 2 titles, 3 if you count the "meta name=title"
tag. Pick one, preferably the 2nd, but with some changes.

- Too many keywords. Might I suggest you review your
log files, and see how people are finding you presently
(through the search engines). Also, you may want to
invest in Wordtracker. It can help you find which of the
keywords would benefit your client, and make it a more
efficient use of characters. Make your tags (keyword,
title, and description as well as alt tags) work
together with your content. Create common keyword phrases
within all elements of your page.

- Vary each pages' meta tags to reflect what that specific
page offers. Use a specific title, include your URL in
the title, but also put specifics from the page.

- Don't get too wordy. Its not how many words you use
in your tags, its how effective the ones you have chosen
are.

- Keep character count down by only putting the singular
use of the word in...i.e., if you use the work book then
books, the engines will find book within the word books,
but will not always find books in the book.

- Create text links on your pages using keyword phrases.
On this site, I would create links using your subpage
names (for example -- spiritual growth, personal
development, wealth building, etc.). Place these at the
bottom of the page with traditional HTML links to the
pages. Effective for search engines as well as a
sensible design move. Also, it never hurts to put
everything your site has on a basic HTML site map (links
in keyword phrases help to increases your 'findability'
in the engines.

In the end, don't repeat words, keep your tags short
and to the point, and you may find a better success rate
on getting your sites into the engines.

How to check up....if you don't use a reporting program,
like WebPosition Gold, do a search on IXQuick.com
<http://www.ixquick.com> to view current position on a
select few of the major engines, as well as a search on
Google <http://www.google.com>.

Hope this helps.
