its a very well designed and artistic site. well done! Good PR5 rating as well. The only downside is it looks really really busy. abit too cluttered, but very professional.

Look at your conversion rate, how many visitors to a sale?
Maybe in a month try a less cluttered design and see if the conversion rate gets higher or lower. Stick with which one works best.

Of course, if you dont expect to pick any customers up through organic search results then it doesn't matter.

The teddies are cool.

Thanks.

That's not boring at all. I've optimized the page and keyword density as if it were one page because I knew that's how the spiders would see it. Right now the density is ok but could be better. I'm going to add some text to the main page to help this.

Most of the elements on the home page I'm hiding are either keyword-rich content broken out into their own pages anyway, or things like contact info which wouldn't help because I don't see an effective way of optimizing a page like that.

The other elements I hide like the clothing categories: you're right, I should break those down into their own seperate keyword-targeted and optimized pages. Maybe eventually they'll spider my site and index those pages, making it easier for them to pop on natural searches.

Thanks for the suggestions.

To be more clear, the answer to both your questions is 'yes.' More models would be good, and having people take pics of your shirts would be really excellent too...IDK, it's a good looking site. I wouldn't be too concerned with my comments. You may not want it to look like T Shirt Hell does either, which would be entirely understandable.

Thank you.

Do you mean it needs to be updated more often? or did you mean that you like the layout? or that I need to work more frequently on the layout...?

Sorry, I'm confused!
