Desperately Seeking Review for DigitalThreadz.com

Hi!
My site, http://DigitalThreadz.safeshopper.com is in desperate need of a review. This is my first website, but it has been open for a few years. I have never had a subjective review before, only friends and family. And we all know how reliable that is!
If possible I would love a site review full of constructive criticism. Please don't be mean just for the sake of being mean, but if it needs ripping to shreds, by all means do it! I'm a big girl, I can handle it...lol...

Also, I would love a SEO review. Up till a few months ago we were one of the top 3 listings on AOL, Yahoo & Google for our chosen search terms. Now we are no where to be found. I recently bought into the BCentral.com ISubmit program and if I didn't know any better I would think it was doing more harm than good. So at this point any SEO advice will appreciated!

This site contains a somewhat objectionable material. No nudity, but it is a sexy apparel website. Just thought I would mention that so that there were no surprises.

Thank you ahead of time for your oh so valuable information & time!

hello, i noticed a few things that might be of use and some might help to get better listings.
1: you havn't got a robots file to get spiders to follow links through your site i.e.
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
2: you have got spaces between your keywords, i don't know if it really makes a difference but lots of people think so.
3: you nav bar could do with being a little bigger.
other than that the site looks very good, i especially like the use of red on the homepage, it goes well with the dark images along the left.
hope some of this is helpful,
mark.
please feel free to have a look at my site and give some critiscim if you have time.

thanks for the feed back. the easist way to do the robots file is copy
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
and paste it bellow your key word meta tag. if your still not sure, go to my site, right click on an empty space, view source and you will find it in the header tags.

I see the robot thing you were talking about... The basic layout of my site was done with a program called FreeMerchant.com so I am not sure if I can change this or not, but I will definetly bring it up since it sounds pretty important.
