It is a long, tedious task but keep at it though as it is worth it in the long run but don't be tempted to sign up to any link farms!

Hand submit to the main search engines once you have properly optimised your site, following your keyword research and then wait. Also work on getting links to your site, for both Google PR purposes and also the extra traffic it will hopefully bring you.

Thanks for info webmistress, I have been trying to get links to my site, but the sites never respond.

Actually I did, I used "Submit it" by b centeral(microsoft). Some one in here told me my page is still not engine friendly. Is there somthing about the submit it program that I missed.

Why not try buying traffic or working on some SEO(Search Engine Optimization) for your site?

This is not in any way a criticism of your ideas and talents...but if you want to compete with the "big boys" of the joke websites and such...should aim to be better than the other websites, not on par with them.

The buttons and logo are hard to read, the navigation is confusing, the background is "amatuerish", and the disclaimer is very untasteful- I would do a total redesign of the page if I were you.

Responding to the copyright disclaimer suggestion. To make that official and cover my butt. I just need to put that text in a visible spot on my website

Just for your knowledge...I believe that you should have an easy to find, highly visible disclaimer that each piece of media is property of its respective owners, and is subject to copyright laws...or you could get in legal trouble (example the Bud Light commercial)...

also, it is not a good idea, when you are talking about search engines, to have lots of empty page space at the bottom...no matter if it is intended or not...on you main/index page; as well as you shouldn't have lots of pictures like you do...maybe a more "who we are, here's where you can find the funny stuff" page

Just my opinion...

mark, thanks for the help, what is it I need to ad to my head. I got 2 meta tags, description and keywords. This is only on my index pg though.

I would doubt if your site would be very search engine friendly with all the white space between your head tags. Was it done that way on purpose to try and prevent people from reading your source code? As Suzanne mentioned good content and also having a site that doesn't make people want to leave pretty soon after they get there would be a good idea since they are very unlikely to tell anyone else about the site.
