Hagstrom ..I did say "some" meaning in my book others ...I recognised Craig ( couln't remember his nic here )...;)
But I don't think he ( Rmorg ) would have benefited from the ringo et al ...keywords keywords mantra ...particularly when you consider that google doesnt take the meta keywords into account!...

BTW I'm sure google guy is in many places ...but he makes more sense here ..as does all the advice in general ..

any fool can SEO for a 4 word phrase and hit page one on google provided they can spell and its not mega competitive like real estate or pron .

plus his ( Rmorgs) site is by it's design very thin on text ....and has some of the longest meta keywords/description tags strings I ever did see ....ouch!

Rmorg ...More than around 60 to 70 characters including white space is overkill even for "all the web" ..
And the description should be different for each page ...
Without getting into specifics on your site on this forum ( cos it's not for reveiwing individual sites )..your content on each page is I think too similar across the language spread ....
I would be very very surprised if you are penalised for cloaking as such ..I think more probable is that you are considered by google at least to be serving the same page thousands of times under different names ( sort of the antithesis of cloaking but so far around the circle from it as to be almost cloaking ..if you seewhat I mean )...
the variables on your pages are just not enough to make a difference IMO ...particularly the fact that all the non visible stuff is 99.9% identical ...and the visible stuff doesn't change very much ( maybe not enough IMO )either ...

sorry if this a bit to much like a site review ..mods admin .. snip as you think fit
