Here is my standard suggestions that might help:

Optional but very important:

A - Own your-domain-name-dot-com
B - Host your site on a reliable server ( Like Whooked.com )

1 - Shorten the title to 55 chars
2 - Add the robots tag
3 - Place the robots.txt in your root on your server
4 - Get rid of the js in the code and put it in an external file
5 - Use css instead of color, size and font tags
5 - Change the link buttons or js links in to text links
6 - Make sure to have a site map page
7 - Make sure you have 404 page
8 - At the bottom of each page use menus as text links
9 - Make sure your page code is not bigger than 100 K
10 - Submit your site to ODP and Yahoo Dir, make sure to select the right cat
11 - Pay special attention to your content
12 - Try to get as much as relevant links you can
13 - Read each search engines guide lines and follow them strictly
14 - Don't spam
15 - Don't use doorway pages
16 - Don't cloak
17 - Always come and ask for advice on this board
18 - And pray hard that the big G appreciates all your efforts
19- If You need to put this in robots.txt file if you want everything to be crawled in your root:
User-agent: *
Disallow:

20 - Use wordtracker.com to research the proper keywords for your site.
21- Include your keywords in the alt tags of images.
22 - Use the H1 tag for page headings (you can alter the way h1 displays text with CSS. . .).
23 - Submit to gimpsy.com and goguides.org (these are free directories)
This will help as long as you follow each rule here

._o i'll get to implemeting those asap.

btw, what does robots.txt do anyways?

robots.txt is a text file which tells the search engine's spiders/crawlers which pages they cannot crawl. Like if you have want to keep a page private then you use this. I'll make a tutorial on how to use this and stuff. And I don't think this has anything to do with SEO unless you have a lot of restrictions.

JS stands for JavaScript. If you have any JS in the <head> of your page then move that to an external page. Like put in a page called anything.js and link to that in the head. Just like CSS. But this is only if you have JS, otherwise don't worry about it.
