I navigated your site a bit and I was really confused by all the flash going on. It wasn't until I landed on the "Home" page that reads "HI MY NAME IS THOMAS..." that I think you actually started to sell me on your services. Everything up to that point was confusing.

Your services seem very niche. I would optimize the pages and titles with terms like "floor restoration," "floor repair," "wood floor repair", "antique floor restoration", etc. Have you also looked into companies like Service Magic where you can offer your services? You could then give those clients your card and get word-of-mouth referals to your site.

Generally speaking, my advise is to get rid of all the flash pages you have. Search engines aren't able to read the text and you're not ranking under any words or terms relevant to your business.

Also, be sure to submit your site to link directories under home repair, etc.

Hi, Thanks For The Response, The Flash Had Bothered Me Too, But I Am Not Sure If I Can Get Rid Of It, I Had Built The Site Through - Site Cube , & It Just Seems To Be Part Of It, But I Will Check It Out, - & Will Add The Page Words , - I Had Looked Into Service Magic But Thought It Could Get Expensive But Will Take A Look At It Again , Thanks--- Thomas.p
