Name of Site/Business: Living Reefs Forum
Site's Main Purpose: Information
Please Review the following:
Search engine marketing. Can the pages be reasonably well indexed by search engines?
Additional Comments/Notes
I seemed to be stumped at this point. Three months ago I put a forum about saltwater aquariums online and started doing resaerch into Google Page Rank and Keywords. The number one keyword term I picked was "saltwater aquariums". The keyword gets decent traffic and is a niche term. I figured it would be easy to move up in the ranks. I have been reading this forum, seochat and the sitepoint forum for the last 3 months. Right after the Google update I realized I needed to optimize my site for the keyword. I am using digitalpoints ranking tool and now under the keyword "saltwater aquariums" I am proudly ranked 12 and 13 on Yahoo & MSN. I was hopeing some gurus out there could take a quick peek at my site and maybe point me in the right direction to getting in the 1 thru 10 ranking. My site is (in the thread title and in your profile, no need to post yet another link to it). Thanks for listening to my ramble and any help is appreciated.

First of all I think this is nice looking site.
What first came to sight was the fact that you use somthing which if I am not mistaken is a session id on your URL's. According to multitple threads on this site, google and other mayor engines don't like session ids.
You might also consider adding a text title in an H1 tag. Your image title is not legilbe to search engines.
The title banner contains some imporant text, what about making that the ALT text? Material at the top of your site has more weight.
I am not a guru as you asked for, but I hope that helps.

Thanks for the response. I just recently pulled the mod_rewrite hack I had installed because I am having some other non SEO problems with phpBB and im switching to vBulletin, but as soon as I get vBullentin up I will reapply a rewrite mod to vBulletin. The new site is idential to the old.
I have put H1 tags inside a <noscript> tag, not sure if search engines ignore these or not.
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for taking a peak at my site.

make sure you put in a meta content description as well - more important than keywords
no sure how going h1 inside noscript will work....
use some image aslt tags as well
BTW, that oragne background is well....awful - especially when it is there witing for the page to load.
