NYCPHP Meetup

There is a lot more to real SEO than the basics.

It has a lot to do with the actual content, how you write it. Placements 
on the page etc.

Looking at the source code you have a lot before the any actual content.
You also do not have many inbound links from quality sites.
That is just for starters.
