Pm sent. Do you know if you have webmaster tools enabled? I think you can scan for possible errors with that.

Google’s landing site policy / info is contained Here


And whilst with JavaScript disabled, your website looks a bit odd…it’s no odder than other image heavy / slideshow websites that are visited with JavaScript switched off. The general layout / navigation is no harder or easier than any other website you can stumble across.

However, and whilst looking in the source code, I did find the following.

Code: Select all

<&#33;-- All in One SEO Pack 1.6.13.8 by Michael Torbert of Semper Fi Web Design&#91;299,337&#93; -->
An add-on / plug-in to try & assist in SEO ranking etc…in itself neither here nor there, but that version seems to be associated with Word Press websites & blogging, so I can’t help but wonder of the all seeing Google has taking umbrage with that.

SEO isn’t my forte, but it might be something daft like that…where Google sees something that’s not usually standard for a commercial website and starts acting over cautious.

To be honest and when it comes to SEO & websites in general…well, you can’t all be at the top of the first page. And yes I can understand the attempt to be in pole position locally, but I can’t help but think that there’s a fair dollop of snake oil sales when it comes to websites & rankings. I can’t help but think that a bit of brutal honesty would beat all the SEO sales nonsense that’s around, where a website is considered a modern day interactive brochure or telephone number, where those with an existing interest can flesh out the bones…as opposed to it being a primary means of prospecting or catching fish. (Online purchasing excluded off course, as it’s less of a shop window and more of a shopping basket then)

Not the sort of comments you want to hear after shelling out for the website, but maybe look at it as being offset against any leaflet printing etc. /me runs and hides :D[/color]
