Please - Need some help

My site is having a terrible time with Google. Id say 3/4 of it is in supplemental. Ive hired SEO people, tried new things, etc and still we are in it. We do come out for awhile, at least some fall off the list, then they come back on down the road.

This is a miva site and we do have all Dynamic links showing as static. We have all our titles in <H1> and description done the best we can for the products.

We have done so many things to try to get out of this dilemma im beginning to go insane at this point.

One thing Specifically I wanted to ask you is about my titles. By a module, each title is listed of the Category or the product shown AND behind it is a slogan that one of the SEO people I hired in the past told me to do, For instance, the product is a "Cut Chemise", so the system would have the title showing "Cut Chemise - Buy Now!" same would go for a category title.

He claimed this would help sales..... But im wonder if this even though the front part of the title changes, the last part "Buy - Now" would or could be throwing it into supplemental as its the same words for all the titles.

At this point im just trying to figure out all angles that may be causing this.

If anyone has the time, or just wants to help a fellow e dude out, please id appreciate all comments and suggestions.

Thank you for your time...

Dan

Hi guys,

There are several primary reasons for supplemental listings in Google:
1. Identical titles.
2. Identical descriptions.
3. Too high a %'age of identical on-page content.
4. Insufficient incoming "link juice".

Datagg:
What you describe (ie: adding an identical phrase in each title element) wouldn't cause the level of supplemental issues you have but it will "dilute" the effectiveness of the other words in your titles.
With phrases like "Buy Today", "Low Price Guarantee" etc I would be more inclined to put them at the start of your description instead, that way it won't damage your rankings at all (meta description has no effect on rankings on Google).
As far as I can see you have 1310 pages indexed and only about 27 which aren't supplemental... More inbound links will help - particularly if you get some aimed directly at your inner pages.
