I have more than twice the amount of backlinks than any of my competitors as well as what i think is a very search engine friendly site. Would someone mind taking a look at my profile, going to my website and let me know what they think i am doing wrong if anything? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you are asking about MSN in particular, your site hits most of the specific SEO's for MSN that I know about. I looked at your KW meta, and looked at some of the competition.
Possible considerations:
- marking front page elements with dates to expose freshness of content
- use h1 instead of h2 for the head line
- remove from anchor text
- look at quality of anchor text for your inbound links vs competition
- evaluate key word density on the front page
Some would say it might have to do with the cfm extensions on your files

Thank you so much for your advice, i will try some of those ideas. I have heard the cfm idea before but am going to try to disagree with it as long as i can. Number one it would be a huge deal to rebuild the whole site. Number 2 i have a hard time believing a search engine as big as msn, yahoo or google would have any problems with any extensions knowing how extensive the algorithms are. Thanks again for your response and i will definitely try your suggestions.

Hi, I just had a quick look at your website. You are repeating your keywords and description tag in the page. so this is not good coding. also I note you have server side calls prior to the html tag. Are these calls to coldfusion? or something else.
You also have some JavaScript in the page. It would be better to place that in another .cfm file I.E. INC_menu.cfm and call it into the page using cfinclude. You should do the same for all the other JavaScript you have on this page to.
I hope this helps a little. The post before mentioned H1 tags this is also a good idea can't understand why you didn't do it.
Perhaps the biggest issue is your title keyword and description tags. Your weighted key phrase should appear first in all three tags as Google builds its first index on this tag. I imagine your p1p1 on cheap premium tickets? Yes you are. no surprises there then. Stop thinking seo and start thinking about how search engines retrieve data.
thanks.
