hi there--new member here--
i'm a photographer who builds his own websites. they serve as my online portfolio. they're not too sophisticated, but they do bring in 75% or my work or so. in the past 6 months my google rankings have jumped all over the place. i've constantly fiddled with the title, all sorts of stuff, and it seems each time the rankings just get worse and worse. i'd appreciate any help i could get in getting back up to page 1 or 2 for keywords like "dallas photographer".
thanks for any help or advice anyone can give me.
--david

David,
Welcome to JW.
I'm not a technical guy, but from what I can see, there is a lack of theme, especially on your index page.
I might suggest that you flip flop the info on the index page title.(put your name last and your targeted keywords first.
Also you may want to redo the copy so it stays on topic to what you're offering. It talks a little too much about the photographer and not quite enough about the business. Secondly, I'd move that content to the upper portion of your pages and bring the graphics down.
At any rate, trim up the content or spread it around so it's not too blocky. The general rule of thumb is not to exceed 8 lines in a paragraph. (From a marketing standpoint)
I also noticed you're targeting specific cities, but you have those cities mentioned all crammed in on the index page...it is a bit spammy.
You might have good luck if you make mention of those cities throughout your site instead of cramming them in on one page.
Hope I'm making some sense.
