Hello Carbonize,
I was referring to the amount of code and the relative distance your “main text” is from your BODY TAG.
I looked at your site and I will say the paragraph starting with “The new YMSG login has been cracked. Now both Trillian and GAIM,” Would be the “main text” as it is the first real paragraph.
And yes you use tables to layout your site. But the “main text” is 173 lines below your BODY TAG.
If your site was laid out with <div> TAGS, this text could be your first line below your BODY TAG.
</head>
<body>
<div class=”main_text”> The new YMSG login has been cracked. Now both Trillian and GAIM,…..</div>

Then you could go on to add
<div class=”title”>This is the title</div>
<div class=”menu”>add your button setup</div>
etc.
My thought is concerning the amount of code search engines have to read to find relative text to your Meta tags. I have heard they only read “so far” and if they don’t find relative text they will move on and your placement in their listings will be poor.
