Hi Lynda. I know I've replied to you a few times on this list concering the
problems you're facing. My replies were on August 23 and September 27. I
hate to see you go another few months spinning your wheels, but don't recall
receiving a reply on-list or off-list so I don't know whether you didn't
read my replies, didn't understand them or decided my explanations and
suggestions were too difficult to implement. You may want to re-read what I
wrote.

And that appears to be correct.

Your problem is with the way your site is designed. Paying a company to get
you listed will have minimal results. They can submit your site to the
search engines and you can pay for listings, but unless work is actually
done to your site the most you can hope for is being listed many pages down
the search results for searches you want to target and people rarely visit a
page listed after the first page or two of results.
Please re-read the advice that was given to you previously. Feel free to
ask any followup questions.
