I've tried to understand these two issues I have based on reading other posts but I'm still lost!

First off, H-tags! I have the Visual Editor and the Direct FTP programs (where I can access HTML editing). How can I code my current layout to include h tags?

On this page:
http://www.gulleymetalservices.com/ProjectGallery.html

I'm hoping to add tags to "Stainless Steel," "Copper," "Steel" and "Brass & Bronze."

I'm also looking to add tags on this page: http://www.gulleymetalservices.com/HandrailGallery.html for the handrail headlines.

I'm not getting good hits with those terms so I'm hoping the h-tags will help.

So, if anyone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it. I need as much help as you can give, including showing me the actual html coding to use. (I have no idea about this!) Talk to me like I'm an idiot!!



Second, I would like the make it so if someone visits my site and doesn't have flash, they still get a menu up top. I have a text menu on the bottom but it's hard to see without scrolling down so is there some way to have a text menu "behind" the flash menu so that if they don't have flash they see something more than "swf object?"

Thank you in advance!

I am going to make a few assumptions if any of them are wrong please disregard my rambling. By H-tags you are refering to <h1></h1>, <h2></h2> etc.? I am assuming you want to use these to weight these keywords on the page for search engine rankings? If this is correct. First how:

change line aproximately 24 from:

.textstyle5 {font-family:Tahoma;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-size:24pt;text-decoration:none;color:#ffffff;}

to:

.textstyle5 {font-family:Tahoma;color:#ffffff;}

Next change Copper at about line 567 from:

<div class="Object5781"><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign="top" align="left"><div class="text-align:left;margin-left:0px;text-indent:0px;"><span class="textstyle6"> </span><span class="textstyle5">Copper<br>
</span></div></td></tr></table></div>

to:

<div class="Object5781"><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign="top" align="left"><div class="text-align:left;margin-left:0px;text-indent:0px;"><span class="textstyle6"> </span><span class="textstyle5"><h1>Copper</h1><br>
</span></div></td></tr></table></div>

I'm not sure if that will give you the desired look but will utilize the <h1></h1> tag.

Personally, I wouldn't, to be very honest the keywords "Stainless Steel," "Copper," "Steel" and "Brass & Bronze." are very common and competitive. To rank high on a search engine for these would be a very serious challenge. I suggest you consider other options.

First, break your page into multiple more targeted pages that focus on less competitive keywords for example "custom countertops", and "custom thresholds", in the keywords meta tag start with "custom countertops" then "stainless, brass, bronze, metal, etc.". Use the main keywords in a sentence in the meta tag description like "Custom countertops by Gulley Metal Services of Denver, CO". Repeat the keywords in the <title></title> tag, like "Custom Countertops &sdot; Gulley Metal Services". Use the keywords once or twice in a body of text on the page. Finally on your img tags do use the alt and title attributes everytime, use the keywords but not all by themselves and use care not to spam the search engines using the word Custom as an attribute on one page 3 times will be benefical but 20 or 30 times could actually hurt you.

The answer to your flash quetion is Javascript but this post is very long already. Good Luck!
