Hi babymaker

I just had a look at the google results for the terms you are targetting and quite honestly, it looks like you have your work cut out for you. There are thousands of SE spammers in there, so your SE optimization is going to have to be pretty darn good to get in there.

Having said that, I will offer you my first impressions from looking at your site.

You appear to be targetting a number of search terms instead of focussing on the one or two you really want. I usually focus on one or two primary keywords. If you want to focus on more, build another page.

Your meta description is too long and doesnt appear to match what is actually on the page and neither do a lot of your keywords for that matter. Plus you have too much repetition of keywords in your keyword tag.
You have no header tags.
Your alt tags are very long and are also not focussing on specific keywords.

As far as your incoming pr links go, all the pr in the world will not guarantee you a listing unless you have the page optimized to support it. And just as important is how you link to your site and from what type of site.

Whilst I am no SEO, I have learnt a lot (I have a good teacher )
and I know enough to know to KISS. Focus on the keywords you want to target , build your page with those keywords in mind, make sure you repeat the keywords in your title, description, and keyword metas, and also in your body text and header tags (but dont go too stupid or you will be spamming).

Putting words like 'yahoo,aol,icq,msn' in your keywords serves no purpose as they are not in the body of your page and you are unlikely to be ranked for them in google anyway.

Having said all of that, I am sure the more SE savvy peeps will be more than happy to jump in and offer you more advice
