A couple of things come to mind . . . First is that depending on volume, 4
weeks may not be enough to see any meaningful results. Second is that many
directories and se's don't like marketing slogans as a site description.
"Pure Tech Plastics is the leader in the post consumer
plastics (pet) recycling industry." has that sort of feel to it as does the
title. It's best to just display the facts without hype.

There are also some optimization tools you might look at such as VSE Be
Found on the Mac and I think both Web Position Gold and Submit Wolf provide
similar functionality on the PC side though I'm not personally familiar with
those. These apps will help you optimize your meta tags so that there aren't
too many keywords in the title, you have the right number of keywords, etc .
. . .

HTH,

Tom

Tip: if the wrapper broke, wait patiently for the actual release (best I can
do - mine's been dead since I went for those template updates) ;-)
