Search Engine Optimization is tricky, so if I were you i'd review that forum here for effective techniques.

But for your homepage interface, here's 3 quickies for you that in my opinion might help:

1) Look at your homepage and more specifically at how much dead space you devote to graphics and text. This is a consumer site, so get your users some clear and easy entry points to your products that stand out and are closer to the top of your page.

2) "Questions" as your first nav item? If the first thing your user has is questions when they hit your homepage, you haven't designed it effectively IMO. Change it to "FAQ's" and move it to the bottom of nav. Move "Home" to top of nav and kill those new windows being spawned for Questions and Order - those should open in same window and maintain your core user interface.

and finally....

3) Your core business is VHS to DVD right? Focus on that for your homepage. Make that graphic jump out, move the rest of the images (blowing out candles, wedding slide, etc.) to the Product/Video Package page, trim off half of your text and use a darker font.

That's my $0.02 at quick glance (and I emphasize quick).

Good luck,

-surfkook

You're welcome, but the first thing you need to address is your site traffic because if nobody knows your site is there, then it might as well not be unfortunately (no matter what it looks like).
