I have completed work for several fortune 500 companies including Marriott Hotels. I have completed a quick analysis of your web site. I am afraid that your site is very poorly optimized. I ran your site through my optimization program and I have listed two of the results below.
1. area:
tag
1. Your page has too many Title tags! Web CEO has found 5 Titles! Search engines regard this as spam and either skip multiple Titles damaging your rankings or penalize your page. Please remove all Titles except the first one or at least two!
2. Your Title tag has stop words! The words like "and, on, a, the, for, to, about, are, that, were, by, of" and other auxiliary words are too common and search engines don't take them into consideration. By using a stop word in your Title tag, you potentially damage your rankings. The rule of thumb: If you can use less stop words in the Title tag - do it.
With the site the way it is, you will never be able to rank on the first page. I’m sorry to bring you this news. Your site looks great, but it is not optimized for search engines. I can get you into the top 5, but it will take time.
My bid follows:
Month 1 $1500.00 USD – Optimize site, create blog and start link program.
Goals: 1 - Start to get a page rank on MSN.
2 – Link popularity greater than 500
Month 2 $1000.00 USD – Continue link building program, start defining areas of paid links and other advertising with site owner.
Goals 1 - Link popularity greater than 2500
2 - Start to get a page rank on other SE
3 – start getting income from site
Month 3 - 6 $700.00 USD – Maintenance
Goals – building income from site thru advertising and continued increase in site hits.
Please concider this proposal. I am truthful and will tell you like it is. This is your business, and like any other brick and mortar business it takes time to grow. The days of throwing a site together, putting it on a server and having it ranked immediately are history. It now takes work and a person that is up to date with the latest SEO technology.
Sincerely
