If I was a customer I would immediately hit the back button thinking I had the wrong page. The second thing is that you are only on the second page and you should be easily on the first page if not at the top of that page for the 2 keywords that I checked. Overall not bad for a self made site.

I already have a domain name, and a website tonight account with GoDaddy. How would we work with this? Are you the owner of the site? Am I? Is GoDaddy? how would you get payment? I'm REALLY new to website lingo. With this I own the site but there is always a buyout option. I set these up on a separate hosting account so that it is easy to reassign when needed. The rest of the stuff can be worked out. I was looking at probably using Paypal or plimus for that as a subscription option.

I have a customer in Texas that called me one day to say he was going to pay me more monthly for the seo service. The reason, he got a call and landed a job worth 60k per year. That is a lot more than I get paid and it was a Canadian company that found him on the web.

During high school I used to build sites for people and honestly to me it wasn't worth the time, effort, or start up fee's to keep it rolling.

I personally never want to do pearl script, html, xhtml, javascript, etc...EVER AGAIN! Its fun to learn and fun to practice at first but once you get into it you really get sick of it haha.
