My recommendation would be to start with the solid basics of a quality site.

First you need to ensure you are building your site with clean valid code, this will reduce a lot of the tags you have and make your web site more accessible. Include such things as a document type and a language and so forth.

Second, you should reduce the number of keywords in your title and keyword meta tag. It appears as if you are trying to stuff as many possible phrases in there as possible.

Finally, move a lot of your layout to a CSS file and that can help you clean up your code as well.

Those items will get you started in the right direction.

Keyword stuffed - no question about that. Years ago you could get away with it . But now - twice in tags - maximum - same with page titles - where frankly once is enough. Strip the site down and start over. New pages. Longtailed URL's etc etc.

Get more links using those keywords as anchor text.

There are only 119,000 pages that actually use the phrase "ethnic wear" listed in Google. not to hard to rank well for that.

Since you apparently already know what you're doing wrong I'll simply provide you with one answer. You're right, we're wrong, you keep on running with your presumptions and continue watching your site fall. We're trying to help and you are chosing to not believe anyone.

I'll provide you with some information from Google's own web site. I can't confirm this is "official" google statements, but this is from their "summer of code" and discusses the meta tags that one can use.

"Next we have two name values: keywords, which these days is mostly useless, ironically, and description, which is still somewhat useful."

I'm here to help, and if you're going to call me out, make sure you know what you're talking about.

Periodically Google changes its algorithm. So to be on top the site should also change its seo techniques. But be strong with the basics.
