I'm worried that I have been blacklisted for some reason. I am a local web developer and my Yahoo rankings are ok but I am nowhere in Google. My site is much more relevant than many listings in the top ten. Someone look at my souce and HELP:)

<Mod edit to comply with Site Review Rule #1 - Masterpeace>

below are some of the important meta tags that should be present and accounted for in any good web programming code.... html anyway...
--------------------------------------------
<meta name="classification" content="classification - description">
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="10 days">
<META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="www.yoursite.com">
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="keywords go here">
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="content description goes here, short phrases">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW">
----------------------------------------

Be careful with the "revisit" meta tag.... you are basically telling the search engine to stay away for the amount of time specified.... if you allow caching, you ease the load on the search engines servers - therefore you are helping them to serve up your site more efficiently. There's gotta be some perks for that...

You should include meta tags on all pages, directing non-changing pages to be "cached" and frequently changing content pages to "no-cache" and a short "revisit' period...

Your keywords should match words and word sets in your H1 tags and

text. These have to be customized per page to gain the most benefits.

There are many more aspects to take into account but this should get you more favorable listings.... as favorable as free can get... One of the most important is "QUALITY" backlinks.... links that point to your site.

There is nothing like time and traffic to lift the webmaster spirit... and increase your ranking in any of the search engines when ppc or keyword bidding is not on the economic horizon....

Don't forget to read the forums on this site that are dedicated to search engine technology.....

Your code looks clean - there is no reason I can see that would prevent the Googlebot from indexing your page. What is that JavaScript at the bottom of the homepage?
