I tries to list down the basic observations wrt SEO

http://www.rubifirstdance.com/Contact.html
Its advised to have a contact form rather mailto function on the page. People feel much comfortable to fill the form rather than opening their default email service.

http://www.rubifirstdance.com/index.html  and http://www.rubifirstdance.com
Technically both the above mentioned URLS are treated as different URLs by Search Engines. This could lead to content duplication, hence suggest you to contact your Webmaster and get it rectified.

http://www.rubifirstdance.com/About Rubi.html
In the above URL the file name consists SPACE between About and Rubi . try to use Hypen to separate them to orelse you end up seeing your URL like
 http://www.rubifirstdance.com/About%20Rubi.html

Now coming to general mistakes,

1. You have used same titles for all the pages.( Imagine if all the books in library have same titles! Wouldn`t it be tough to pick the one you need ? Similarly if you have same page titles it makes search engines difficult to read  or index)
2. CSS code is present in the code, thus increasing the code size. Talk to your webmaster and ask him to externalize it.
   
3. Alt Tags are missing for all the images on the website. Alt tags are the only way through which search engines can come to know about the image.

I guess all the mistakes i pointed out are very basic , so please do not panic and contact your nearest webmaster and get them rectified..

all the best.

The site looks clean and easily read.  I like it.  So often designers forget to utilize "white space".

Your website is very nice.  It`s definitley appropriate for your audience and what you`re doing.  It`s simple yet professional.  The only criticism might be that it suggests that you may not have a lot of experience because it is somewhat sparse.  I would suggest hiring a copywriter to help you develop a better tag line and to place added copy onto your site that`s more detailed and provides a better "call to action" for potential customers.  Additionally, block quotes would help make the most "sellable" parts of your text grab the readers attention faster.  When you`re interested in taking this site to the next level, feel free to contact my creative marketing firm:  info@indavisual.com.  Great start!

I am a certified web designer so I`ll give you my two cents worth:) I think you did a great job by using the color red as a signature color to emphasize your name Ruby. I think it would be helpful to use a much larger font for your header title and your slogan because they look extremely small. Your page title should really stand out so that people can clearly see whose web page they are viewing.

I would mention on the contact page your address and phone number so that people will know where you are located and how to get in touch with you.

Good luck with your business!

What Bill said.  You are getting all positive reviews, though it may not feel like it at first.

Gee would anyone like to create me a really neat site to sell my quilts and find me the perfect URL to go with it for free? trying to find a way to make a living. Thanks

Your site makes two of the most common SEO mistakes. The pages titles are not done well.First you need to start thinking of your website as a collection of books and each page on the site represents a different book. So all of your pages need different titles.

The second issue is you wrote your titles as if they were sentences this is not very effective SEO wise. Your titles read "Philadelphia Area Dance Lessons for the Bride and Groom." I would remove the word area, as it is not likely to be used. I would also eliminate the words for, and, and the.

You have 65 characters and spaces to work with on each page. Consider going with Philadelphia Trenton Wedding Dance Lessions Training Bride Groom or something like that! All of the words in the page titles need to appear in your content at least two times as well.

You should then add Google Analytics to your site and review your site stats every 30 days to see what keywords people are using to find your site and then make adjustments if needed.

Also your content needs to be written as a features and benefits presentation and always include a call to action.

All I ask is that you please consider voting for for Tucson SEO Solutions in the Home 100 Contest under Recession Busters.

I LOVE your graphics and the way you popped the photos.  Really very nice.  Now my critique:

• Need more photos, include some photos of parents of the bride and bridal party dancing, try to include a photo of yourself working with a couple, make sure it has smiles show happy, no stress, fun to learn environment.
  
• Give a clue to where you are, city and town if you don`t have a studio addres
