Hi, We've just launched www.EuropeanHospitalRegister.com. Comments about usability, style and features (missing or liked) are greatly appreciated. Although this site has a lot of content (16,000+ hospitals), I feel it may not do well with the search engines - any comments.
Regards,
Bob

The site looks okay.

But you are "keyword stuffing."

The search engines will not reward the site for this, it will punish it. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/K/keyword_stuffing.html

Also, don't do the following:

<div id = "advert1" class = "scriptblocks">

&loz; Comprehensive

&bull; Over 16,000 hospitals

&bull; In 23 countries

&bull; Indexed by 130 specialties
</div>

Rather than using spaces to shift the text, use CSS:

margin-left:20px;
