advice on troublesome site?

hi all,

I posted about this site a while back and it's still a huge thorn in our side. It's been stuck in the google supplemental index for going on 7 months now. The homepage is not cached at all, but all the other pages are supplemental.

We know that google is hitting the site every month, this month it downloaded 38 megs of files so far, but the dates of the cached pages don't change.

The site also has a PR0, regardless of the incoming links we've built (not many, but growing).

URL is www.shopdress.com

We're all at a loss to really pick out what the problem could be -- there's no obvious "smoking gun" here.

if anyone can take a look and perhaps offer some advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks : )

I'd double check any dupe content issues concentrating on how you handle 404 errors and the non-www aspect of the site.

Gotta love the free hollywood tape.

apparelsearch.com has the better part of your homepage content duplicated on a higher pagerank page used as a description of your site. Actually they have it 3 times... in their listing by category, name and retailer name. Duplicate content issue?

You may want to change the content of your homepage to make it significantly different and add more content to the homepage.

I noticed you have way too many meta keywords IMO.

You may also want to look at where the content appears in the anatomy of the code... at the very bottom.

This means pretty much every one of the pages on your sites starts with a ton of code, links images other crap etc which is pretty similar between pages... then eventually there is some unique to that page content at the bottom of the page.
