Thanks again guys, especially the 'nice site' comment Wrm - makes all the effort worthwhile!

Thanks too for the advice and the link Brian - I've now submitted to MSN and will look into Yahoo directory.
Jump starting the link process is definately where I need help!

Wrm - I've also fixed the errors, thanks for the tip-off! The page used to validate fine... I bet they all say that... while lightening the page size recently, I screwed up dropping a graphic link from the 'noscript' tag and added a few keywords to the meta description in the template and forgot to encode an ampersand as you thought.

Seems the java is completely ignored (I've seen the noscript comments turn up in a Yahoo search) which is a bitch as its keyword rich, and the flash is just 'pushing' phrases used elsewhere - I didn't expect robots to decipher it, but when you say 'hurting' the page, do you mean something like the robots not making it past the 'object' tags and missing the rest of the content or pushing the content down the page, or something else?

Talking of the index page content, I'd felt it had got a bit much, thanks for the advice - I'll cut the teasers down a bit.

CTABUK's offer is very welcome, I've already scanned and read a few of the marketing posts and intend to post a discussion there looking for help.

Cheers,
Steve
