I have a website we "launched" about 4+ months ago or so and we are still very actively working on.  New content is added almost daily and we have done our best to optimize for even some of the obscurest terms - but Google just doesn't seem to be showing us in ANY search terms.  Even for our site's name!

We do use the Gumbosoft AJAX Tabs Module - and are beginning to wonder if THAT may be hampering our site - because All of the text in the module is outputted to the page - but hidden until a tab is clicked to view it.  Reason we believe so is this google link http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66353   But why would that affect the ENTIRE site - it's only used on a few pages.

But that seems to be pretty harsh - but I suppose(?) it *could* be an issue.  By all means, please have a look at our site (we're getting ready to submit to DotNetNuke for the gallery).  http://www.foremosthunting.com .   I even used iFinity GoogleSiteMap and extended it for some of our custom modules for the site map http://www.foremosthunting.com/googlesitemap.axd .  (THANK YOU iFinity!!!)

If you have any tips/suggestions/stories of what may be hampering us, I'd really like to know.  Is there any truth to the *old tale* that google won't display your site for 6-8 months?  I would expect not for highly competitive terms - but even searching for "foremost hunting" - we won't even show up!!!  And we have 2400 pages in google's index (according to webmaster tools).

I know we've done sites for customers in DNN that are being found in google..... do you see anything that could be a major "No No" ---- I swear we're 100% legit!

Thanks for hearing me out....  I'm just completely perplexed as to why.
