Basic elements of SEO to fix.

• Is the keyword phrase good?
  Yes
  The phrase \"criminal backgrounds\" is a decent phrase to optimize for. It's got medium to high search volume and lots of opportunity. My only question is whether or not it is what people would type in - in other words, what are people looking for if they're searching for \"criminal backgrounds\"?



• Where is the keyword phrase found?
  ; With a keyword density of: 0%

• How many links are there to the page?
  3
  I would talk to the three sites that link to you and see if you can get the link text changed to reflect your keyword phrase. It's important to get related sites to link to your site with the keyword phrase you're trying to optimize for.



• When was the page last modified?
  unknown
  Pages that are modified with significant content changes do well in search engines, but constant little changes can hurt your ranking.

Elements of SEO that can hurt your rank.

• Hidden content in
  Flash - yes
  JavaScript - yes
  There is a lot of JavaScript at the very top of the HTML. I would move it into external script files. And there appears to be a lot of content in a Flash that doesn't have any plain HTML alternative. Search engine spiders can't read that content.



• URLs that are difficult to read
  None Good!



• Spammer tricks (that could get you banned)
  None Good!

The most important thing is to get the keyword phrase into the content. Or, if that can't work, change the keyword phrase you're focusing on.
