Much activity! They never leave me alone - Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, MSN, Askjeeves, Gigablast, Alexa... almost everyday, I don't mind google (need them to serve ad's), but the rest do a lot of indexing, but don't send me much traffic at all!

Yes a bit, i've renamed alot of files with better titles, for example:

swim-sites.com/clubs/us/fl2.html

has become,

swim-sites.com/clubs/usa/floridagoldcoast.html

This has two effects;
  1. The spiders recrawl it (or crawl it for the first time)
  2. The words "florida" "goldcoast" boosts the pages chance of appearing as a high up search result (as it appears more relevent to the spider).
As far as I know it is advisable to avoid complicated titles and directory systems such as /267/468yg7.html

I would suggest that you have a look at the actual title tags of the pages. They all seem to be identical

i will define the css you use there from:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
BODY {background: #FFFFFF}
A:link {color: #342D7E}
A:visited {color: #342D7E}
A { text-decoration: none }
H1 {font-family: times; font-size: 15; font-style: bold; color: #342D7E}
H2 {font-family: times; font-size: 15; font-style: regular; color: #342D7E}
H3 {font-family: times; font-size: 17; font-style: regular; color: 3399FF}
-->
</STYLE>

to:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
BODY {background: #FFFFFF; font-family:times; font-size:10px;} /* or use font-size:12px;*/
A:link, a:visited {color: #342D7E; text-decoration:none;}
H1, H2{ font-size: 15px; font-style: bold; color: #342D7E}
H3 {font-size: 17px; color: 3399FF}
-->
</STYLE>
