I didn't know about google not reading the code tages <...> I suppose it does make sense as google is only really interested in the text. BUt I'm positive google does read the alt tags for images which are inside the < ... > ???

Thanks for bringing that up google does read alt tags because it is an image. They will read EVERYTHING in the tag if it starts with img because they do need to know the information about the image for the image search. But the truth of the madder is the spider bot and the pagerank bot do not see the page like you or me they only see text versions of it. So they would not see the image but they would see what the alt makes the image say. And as for links they are counted as text they load whats in the "" but they do not read them. If anyone can obtain a Spider browser and see what i mean!

Why on earth would you use javascript for the rollover menu at the top?? What you're taking could easily be converted into CSS. Take a second to learn a bit of CSS, especially its rollovers: http://www.google.com/search?q=css%20rollovers

I recommend the first two sites.

Using CSS instead of extraneous markups will improve your rank in google because your page will be easier to read by the google spider. Also, convert your site from tables to CSS. To see sites that use CSS to achieve aesthetics, go here: http://cssmania.com/galleries/

Just look at the source code in any of those sites. You will see that they don't have one table tag in there. That's because tables should be used to display ONLY tabular data.

How long has your site been online? It usually takes a couple of months for sites to be indexed AND have a pagerank in google. It's called the Google sandbox, and it's there to prevent spam sites from dominating google's searches. What's the best thing to do then? Be patient.

I use JavaScript because its less of a hassle to use then using CSS. Also that whole navigation structure was automaticly Generated By Microsoft Frontpage 2003. And about the google indexing i have over 50 pages in google so i dont have any problem with the indexing my site is not in the sandbox.

Remember, Google wants to add your site to their index. There wouldn't be much point in not indexing one's site because Google's main objective in life is to be the largest and most complete internet database in the world. Just make sure you do not over-optimize your site, otherwise, it will get penalized.

PageRank is becoming more and more meaningless. what PR do your competitors have for that keyword if yours is 0?
