It's well known that search engines value what's at the top of a page more than waht's at the bottom. Naturally you want lots of keywords near the top. Currently the top of my page (not counting the head) looks like this:
<body>
<a name="top"></a>

<h1>ESL go - free English as a second language: learning ESL + teaching ESL/<h1>
<p class="normal">ESL go.com is a free English community of ESL students and ESL teachers. The goals of ESL go.com are 1- To give ESL students <strong>help learning English as a second language</strong> through <a href="classes.html">free ESL classes</a> and <a href="forum.html">free English practice message boards</a>.
2- To share <strong>teaching ESL</strong> <a href="resources.html">activities for TESOL, TESL, and TEFL</a> with ESL teachers.</p>
That's because I moved the image map (which goes with my header graphic) to the bottom of the page. I used to have this:
