customweddingprograms.com site review needed

I have put alot of time and effort into my site, but alas it has received the google banishment decree. Even when the search term custom wedding programs is used, it doesn't appear and that's my domain name!. I'm ok with the rank on yahoo just trying to get on googles "special people list". I'm trying to get recognized with the main search term wedding programs (since my research indicates this is the most used for my services). I've tried link exchange programs, paid a bundle for copywriters...is there something I'm missing?

Tested in IE6 56k modem 800x600. Loads nice and fast. Graphics could do with some ALT tags. You key phrase 'custom wedding programs' should appear in the TITLE tags. A low Google PR of 2/10 suggest you need more links to the site. You are actually listed in Google. If I use the phrase:-

custom wedding programs

without quotes then you are #235. If I enclose it in quotes then it comes out at #20 so all is not lost. Good luck with it.

Nice site, classy, I’d like to see some smiling faces amongst the other sundry body parts displayed. I like the header design, a very professional site!

Cheers

I went to your links page and noticed that you may want to get some links that are relevant to your site content.
Is the links page part of your site?
Great site and very professional looking.

I used Proboost for awhile with their link exchange program - which is why the link page is there, its now probably some old links, however, i did add relevant links on my "wedding extras" page. I guess the question is would it be better to move the relevant links to the link page (which is part of my home page) and delete all of the old stuff? BTW I wish I could claim credit for the my site design, but I give all my kudos to my site designer - Josh of gbstyle.com (a man who knows how to listen!- rare :)He took the time to put the way I wanted it to "feel" into how it looks (I went through 2 web design companies and 3 independent designers looking for that quality)and I still had money in my bank account! Thanks so much for the reviews! It helps so much when you are putting alot of time and effort into things.
