Quality links to your site can be very helpful. You can start searching for them, with Google  at your fingertips.  Next step, is giving them a reason to link to you. Maybe their market is new Businesses, that will need merchant services. Providing  a link to your site, will be adding more information and reference on their site.

Thanks for the tip.  I wasn`t aware that forums such as SUN supported HTML links, which is how I assume you did the `cc processing` link in our reply.  Is that correct?
 Yes, correct.
 
To add a link within your post...
  1. just highlight the words that you want to use as a link,
  2. Then click on the LINK ICON and enter the http:// address in the "URL" field. 
  3. Also, it`s a good idea to add text in the TITLE field.

When you click POST REPLY your link will be included in your post.

Made a number of changes to my website, attempting to unclutter it, removed the counter, etc., and gave the Google key word tool an attempt (trying to find popular keywords to use), but still believe I have something inherently wrong with my site - either some code errors, out of sequence lines, something that may be considered a no-no (no black text on my site), etc.  If any of you have any suggestions, please let me know.  Will lay off my postings then.  THANK you again for your help!  (everyone!).
Sincerely,
Mike

A well coded site matter...

Aside from the clutter (way too much going on), your site coding is sub-standard, and very hard for google to understand.

Tables - so 2001. between all the nested tables for layout/structure, the font tags everywhere, inline styles and javascript, you`ve managed to encrust and bury your actual content (which is many scrolls down when I view the source code). And that was just the home page.

Also, your description tag is way too long, and no one (esp google) looks at the meta keyword tag (just more crud to dig past).

You should strongly consider rebuilding the site using CSS for presentation and  table-less HTML for content. Help the search engines, help yourself. There are no `tricks`, just good practices.

As another aside, up the professionalism a bit - your `why us` page is a circus of colors and large fonts. Would you take `you` seriously?

Mike,

You need to see what business information Google, Yahoo and MSN maintain on your business and take control of that information. You can go to www.local.yahoo.com and register your business and do the same on the other sites.

Or you can go to www.universalbusinesslisting.org and register your business once and it will be uniformly distributed to over 20 search engines, directories and 411. It`s $30. annually.

Either way you need to take control of your business` information out there (or someone else will!)

Good luck,

 

Jeff
