The site is thesouthbeachhostel dot com. I want the site to show in
search engines for the keywords that you see in the <title> tag -- they
are relevant in the same order that I put them.

Type the first two words of our site's <title> into google
and you will see his ad on the first page.

For our business name, we are ranked #245 on Google, while our main
competitor is ranked #1 (!) -- I just checked their site and they have a
pagerank of 1, but I think it used to be 5. I don't know why the change.

For our main keywords (the first two words of the site's <title>) we are
ranked #115, while we have competitors at #46 and #139. Compare with MSN
where we are #1 for our keywords and on the first page of results at Yahoo.

Strange...

ish sort of. Use a class that presents the text larger than normal
content text or an h2 tag.

You realize the above code wouldn't validate ;-))
