It will give you a feel of how little the page can be understood. Compare with other site page URLs.
Turn off all styles and images in your browser (or in Freeway) and ask yourself honestly if your text explains the page sufficiently to a person who knows nothing about you.
On a real note saying you’re an expert in an area you’re not just might you cause more trouble than its worth.
I believe our US neighbours are more litigious than us Brits, I’d hate a client to cause you trouble. I suppose if the SEO work is to be handed out to a SEO supplier then it’s fair game.

960? 1060?
980px is what I aim for but it depends on the content to a large degree. I
often have too add padding to reduce the text line length if its just going
to be a single column.
Have a look at other sites to decide.
Personally I find your design a bit bland/insipid with so much white, give
it a little colour and/or texture at least. Emphasized by the over
elaborate (all singing and dancing) carousel. Also, can’t quite get over
that the ‘grass’ is in the header, fixed footer might be more appropriate
or get rid, let the name speak.

I agree. The temptation is there, but that’s primarily because I have larger monitors. As of now, I tend to stick with 960px. However, I am intrigued by Thomas’s screencasts, which suggest 980px might be a little better. Have you subscribed to that theory Ernie?
