Hi Mimmie,
Welcome to SEF. Can you place the URL in your profile, so that folks can have a look at that.
Thanks,

Hi mimmie,
Your site appears to be dynamic in nature. as search engines does not like pages with special symbols like &, id-, ?.
1.Try to convert dynamic pages into static pages using mod rewrite if you are using linux sever. if using windows you can rewrite by ISAPI.
2. Second link all dynamic pages from static page.
Then basics such as having a good internal navigation system, generate a site map and try to call java scripts and others externally.
Looking forward for more expert opinion.
Thanks,
Smaran.

Mimmie,
Let me explain first what are dynamic pages and what are static pages.
Dynamic Pages: A page which doesnot phsically exist in server but the elements of the pageexists in data base and pulled on the fly when requested.
e.g. www.mydomain.com/asp?id=&&_productname=widgets
search engines cannot crawl these pages as they are actually not present in the server or specific location.
&, id=, ? etc... are known as wild charecters.
static Pages: The pages which physically exist in server. For example file extensions ending with .html, .htm etc... (even we can disguise dynamic pages as static pages using some rewrite rules and some techncal mess)
e.g. www.mydomain.com/widgets.html
In order to make these dynamic pages search engine friendly you can show them as static pages by creating a .ht access file in the server and use mod rewrite rule if using linux server
or
ISAPI redirect If using windows server. The result would look some thing like this.
www.mydomain.com/asp?id=&&_productname=widgets converted to www.mydomain.com/products/widgets.html
Or else if you cannot rewrite dynamic pages then try to have the links of dynamic pages in a static page.
Feel Free to ask if you got any more doubts.
HTH
Thanks,
Smaran.

Yeah, fine. Try to have a link of home page in all your inner pages.

Mimmie,
You have placed bold tags in your title tag. The title tag does not require bold tag. Have a look.It looks like
<title><b>keyword</b> - some stuff</title>
