[thelist] Metatags - we are not ranked anywhere in the search engines - PLEASE HELP!

[Sylvia Braunstein]

Since 2000 approximately, why? 
What is a paid listing?

www.rugged.com is our site and the one the manager is complaining about.

These words appear on each page, both in the contents and metatags.

How do I resolve this problem?
