    I had previously gotten some pointers from a couple of you before but I thought I would throw it up here, as well.

    Be as brutally honest as possible; I can take it!

    What I DO know about... more content, keep blog more updated, revamp the resource pages (so they are not so obviously links pages), and fix that mess of a code that we call a website (lol) ...ANY other suggestions would be great

    ok, i stole it from the 'place we don't speak of' .... hope we don't get nailed for duplicate content

    hey jason- i guess your live chat works

    site looks fine to me - seems a little spammy at first, but i'm sure you deal with plenty of that in your industry.

    i like the prominent placement of your 'debt form' .. smack at the top so the user can't miss it.

    seems like a couple of your pages are de-indexed in G (maybe due to duplicate content)
    http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...vertoday%2Ecom

    but your backlinks look pretty good and the domain is aged nicely. (i saw some articles you submitted)

    not sure how well you are ranking though.

    one suggestion: i see you do lots of reciprocal linking.. i've always been a believer of one-way links ... you never know when those links will turn into bad neighborhoods and cause your site to get penalized.... especially in your industry.

    another suggestion: make sure you use good anchor text in your article submissions... i came across one with just the domain name hyperlinked... ezinearticles allows you to use 3 anchor text links, so i'd take advantage of them.

    good luck.


    ------------
    when you see a URL only listing, that means that page is on the verge of becoming a dreaded 'supplemental result' - not good... it's kind of like an indicator to fix it asap. usually this is due to substantial duplicate content (or in recent cases that i've seen; not enough content, or in other words, too much code) - i didn't dig deep in your case.

    nice work on the articles.. take the links where you can.

    not sure what to do w/your recip links, other than monitor them closely. u never know when one of those sites will become banned, and you'll be linking to them.... i don't suggest dropping all your link partners, but if you did that would turn them into one-way links ... <evil grin>of course, that is super sneaky and probably wrong. </evil grin>

    Get rid of the iframes.
    Move the CSS to an external file
    You have some code errors like the <head> being in the body that can be hurting you
    If you're really ambitious change the code from tables to CSS like my site - you can get all the content up top where the spiders like it!
    Why don't all your pages match? Format, etc.
    You have this hanging out in the bottom righ: Debt Free | Reduction | Consolidation Is it just there for the KW value? It may be considered spam/stuffing

    Clue in soon!
