Welcome to the forum Matrix22

No, your site is definitely not search engine friendly.

It looks like it was designed with the Dreamweaver design view. Scrap that and code it by hand if you want your site to be treated well by search engine bots.

Major coding issues I noticed:
  1. No Doctype
  2. Tables for layout
  3. Preloaded images
  4. Inline styling
  5.   used in place of padding or margins
  6. Use of spacer.gif
  7. Old school tag soup like bgcolor, leftmargin, topmargin etc.
  8. Empty paragraphs used for spacing
  9. Improper use of headings
  10. Strange use of Javascript (I'm not sure what they do)
If you make some corrections/rebuild the site you should leave a post in the website reviews section where we can do a full review of your site if you like - you need 10 posts minimum before you can post a topic in there though.

One of the main factors with the website is its use of tables to design the layout and a lot of unnecessary code.

I would suggest going the CSS route to design your pages as it removes much of the need for HTML code for the layout and makes the site more appealing to users with a variety of browser settings as well as being more search engine friendly.

Hope this helps.
