    1) kill the archive. remove the footer links, and use the redirect option in vbseo to send to the real thread page.
    2) the image by your adsense ad is probably illegal. while not related to seo, it's not going to help
    3) lose the referral unit. i doubt you've made a dime off it.
    4) you have tons of invalid markup...
    Code:
    <b>Finding Cheap Radar Detectors Online<O></O></b><br /> <b><O></O></b><br />
    wtf is <O> ?
    [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.radarreviews.net/ - W3C Markup Validator

    5)you have JS errors from analytics. looking close, you seem to be running both the old and the new version....
    Code:
    vBulletin_init();
    //-->
    <script type="text/javascript">
    _uacct = "UA-xxxxx-1";
    urchinTracker();
    </script> <center><b>All members & guest of RadarReviews.Net you are assumed 100% liable for any statements & content made by yourself</b></center> <script type="text/javascript">
    var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    </script> <script type="text/javascript">
    var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxx-2");
    pageTracker._initData();
    pageTracker._trackPageview();
    </script>
    i'ts probably confused.

    6) your meta tags are spammy. wayyyy too heavy on 'radar'. you only need it once.

    7) remove kontera from your forums displays. I put it in a conditional.. if condtion THIS_SCRIPT = showthread. I find most of your content on the forumhome and forum display is konterized... and hard to find the real forum links sometimes.

    8) HTML code is On This is a huge security issue. you should turn it off at once.

    9) Using 'superlatives' like BEST to describe yourself is not recommended (and even banned from adwords).

    10) sub forum Radar Detector Gallery doesn't work.

    11) your navigation is confusing. on the top vs the left nav on the port, 'speed trap' takes me to different places.
    Radar Detector Reviews Valentine One Radar: Community Reviewing Radar and Laser Detectors - Speed Trap Locations
    or
    Radar Reviews - Google Earth Live Speed Trap Community

    ?

    I've just had a look on mcdar Google Datacenter Watch Tool - view and compare Google Datacenters and you're no 4 on the few datacenters I checked.

    Do you have any anchors pointing to your home page with "Radar Detector Reviews" as the phrase.

    Ok I fixed most of it, still waiting on the google analytics code to be fixed and html all turned off.

    On the vbseo redirect are you talking about whenever someone access my homepage radarreviews.net that it redirects them to my forums homepage??

    So I just need "nice, home, owner" for these keywords: nice home, home owners, nice owner?

    I wouldn't use 'nice' at all. Adjectives, in my opinion, state subjective opinion of quality/etc yet do nothing to describe the content.

    I suggest using nouns as the main keywords, and occasionally verbs

    if your site is about 'nice houses', i'd use something like

    house, home, mansion, dual staircase, great room, parlor, finished basement, ....

    and so on.

    those nouns all <describe> 'nice' houses without being subjective

    Here is my meta keywords:

    radar detector reviews, detectors, detector, cobra, car, whistler detector, escort detector, radar detectors, cordless detectors, valentine one, bel detectors, detector review, car detector reviews, laser pro park, lpp, laser jammer, jammer


    here is my meta description:

    Radar Detector Reviews of the latest radar detectors from valentine one to escort passport radar detector

    I am wanting to be back on page 1 of google for the keyword "Radar Detector Reviews" I know it takes time and alot of anchor text with that keyword to my page....but as far as meta keywords and description should I modify what i have already??
