Hi, Dave.
I had a quick look at your website, and then did a bit of checking.
I did a couple of searches on "stuborder". You came up #1 in Google and were not listed in Live (I looked at the first 150 results).
I did a search on "concert tickets". You weren't listed in Google (I looked at the first 600 results), and you weren't listed in Live.
I looked for backlinks. Google showed zero. Live gave me five.
A couple of observations:
There is virtually no text on your home page, just a few headings. It is almost entirely links to other pages. I clicked through to the sub-pages, and by the time I got to a page that actually had descriptive text I was three levels deep in sub-folders (eg, /concert-tickets/rap-hip-hop-tickets/sido-tickets/). This speaks well for your organization of the website, but from everything I've read search engines devalue content in direct proportion to its removal from the root. So three levels deep can't be a good thing for the search engines to see (assuming that they go that deeply into the website).
I'm not certain of the terminology, but I think your home page qualifies as a "landing page", and elsewhere on this forum, Brett Yount has said that Live doesn't like landing pages.
In short, I couldn't find the "good unique seo content" you laid claim to. I think you've named the sub-folders well, but that doesn't count for much if there isn't much textual content and what little there is appears at the end of a long sub-folder chain.
I think you need to develop some actual content, especially for the home page. There isn't even an "About Us" page. Never mind the SEO stuff, a lot of people won't give their money up on a site that doesn't tell them anything about the owners. "Contact" lists only a toll free number - no PO Box or physical address, not even an email address. Not exactly a confidence-builder.
In addition, I think you need to get a lot more links from other related websites. Your backlink count seems way too low to expect much from search engines in a competitive area like yours.
The internet was developed as a means to share information, and that legacy is still with us. Search engines value information more than products and services. For example, the Live search for "stuborder" turned up a lot of websites that mentioned yours, ie, ones that provided information about the term I was doing my search for. Unless you develop some useful content that relates to your tickets sales business, I think you'll always have difficulties getting listed high in search engine results. This content would be considered a "value added" and would benefit your prospective customers as well as the SE bots.
