As you will find out in forum828, there is a LOT more to Search Engine Optimisation than simply modifying your keyword and description META tags.
mainly:
- proper keyword research into what your visitors are actually searching for
- appropriate use of those relevant keywords and phrases within your site, especially in:
- <title> tag
- description <meta> tag
- heading tags, eg <h1>, <h2>, etc...
- throughout your page content
- anchor text of your links
- [red]alt[/red] and [red]title[/red] attributes of images and links
- obtaining links from quality and relevant websites
- getting your site listed in the search directories (DMOZ for example)

Hmmm...
The design of your site isn't doing you many favours - there seems to be lots of content hidden in images and Javascript, often for no good reason.
For example, on , why are you using (rather bloated) images to do those headers instead of ordinary <h2> tags? Wherever you have to use images-as-text, make sure you include an [tt]alt[/tt] attribute that the SEs can read.
It probably won't affect your SE ranking, but your front page seems incredibly oversize. For example, this line is repeated dozens of times in one of your image maps:
You should only need it once, the same with your other much repeated lines.
The best thing you can do medium-term is throw away your copy of AffrontPage and read some books/sites on writing HTML. You'll never want to use a WYSIWYG editor again...

Hi
Take a look at your site with a textmode browser, than ask yourself what could be indexed from there.
