Ok first I want to know if this is "legal" in the eyes of google and other search engines.. pay particular attention to the "Masthead2" and "service_areas" sections of code.. I am assuming that they are made to be text "under" the div containers, and they will never be seen.. but can someone explain how this works, and if it would be something that will work without getting the site dropped in pagerank

<h1>Tyler Spray Foam is your Preferred SPF Contractor</h1>
<br/>
<strong>Why Green Technologies Spray Foam Insulation is a Great Investment</strong>
<br/>
Investing in products to make homes more energy efficient pays significant dividends over a lifetime - with none of the wild fluctuations of Wall Street.
<br/>
Insulation contributes to:
Greater comfort
Even temperature distribution
Improved acoustics
Better moisture control, which can reduce floor squeaks, drywall cracks, structure damage and condensation
Potential for increased resale value: Installing proper insulation levels can also make your home more attractive to potential buyers. In fact, most buyers list energy-efficiency as a prime consideration. The reason? Buyers know they can buy a more expensive home if heating and cooling bills can be kept down.
A more environmentally friendly home
Lower energy bills* Unless your home was constructed with special attention to energy efficiency, adding insulation will probably reduce your utility bills.
60% of the existing homes in the United States are not insulated to the best level.
According to a study done by Harvard University's School of Public Health, 60% of the exising homes are likely to use more energy than newer homes, leading to very high heating and air-conditioning bills.
Even if you own a new home, adding insulation may save enough money in reduced utility bills to pay for itself within a few years and will continue to save you money for as long as you own the home. Savings may vary. Find out why in the seller's fact sheet on R-values.
<br/><br/>
<strong>Insulate and Air Seal with Foam Tyler's Spray Foam</strong>
<br/><br/>
Without proper air sealing, a building can lose a great deal of its efficiency through air leakage.
<br/><br/>
It's one of the primary causes of hot and cold spots that can cause discomfort for owners.
<br/><br/>
But as with any building product, insulation is only as effective as its installation and where it's applied.
<br/><br/>
Spray foam is only installed by qualified contractors.
<br/><br/>
That's why builders are choosing Spray foam to insulate their homes.
<br/><br/>
<strong>The Benefits of using Green Technologies Spray Foam Insulation</strong>
<br/><br/>
Spray Foam insulation is the future of insulation. Advantages exist for financial savings, health, building efficiency and greener environment. Discover below how you can benefit from spray foam insulation efficiency.
<br/><br/>
<strong> Save on Utilities </strong>
<br/><br/>
Green Technologies Foam insulation expands around every void and seals all air infiltration, the primary source of energy loss.
<br/><br/>
Indoor temperatures stay constant, allowing decreased use of heat or air conditioning. This translates to savings on utility bills and extends the life of your heating and cooling equipment by four times.
<br/><br/>
While the initial costs of installation may exceed that of fiberglass insulation, in the long term Biobond is significantly more cost effective.
<br/><br/>
<strong>Rely on the Green Technologies Building Science Experts</strong>
<br/><br/>
Nobody understands the science of building better than Foam Tyler.
<br/><br/>
If you want to build a thermally efficient and air tight home, it's not enough just to insulate. You must choose the right insulation and air sealing system for the application, and be sure it's properly installed.
<br/><br/>
Our Building Science experts understand the principles of heat, air and moisture flow, and how the building envelope interacts with a building's mechanical systems as well as its occupants.
<br/><br/>

Well it’s nice to know you guys sorta read this.. But no-one answered my question
Hummm, if they hate it so much why is he on the first page for "spray foam"
I need to add more content to my friends site to get them up the ladder..
so learn some good tricks and apply them. Or, do something like this and try your luck.
I do this shit part time, and for friends only.. Any places you can point me to learn some new tricks? I have always pushed solid content, but I don’t want to spend my free time typing up shit in a wordpress environment. I have set up wordpress for them, but these guys don’t know what a computer is, and write like a desperate 16 year old trying to get a date.. I typically re-write their contracts/estimates because they are putting the customer on a pedestal..
He’s not.
Google is an advertising agency. They have a vested interest in giving you results that are most consistent with your browsing habits. Since they know your approximate location, they can provide you with regional results for things like "roofing insulation" and "spray foam."
He’s on your first page because (1) you’ve probably clicked on his page from Google results in the past, (2) you’ve probably searched for "Tyler’s spray foam" or something similar, indicating that his website is a preference of yours, and (3) you’re probably somewhere close to this guy.
That said, I can tell you that his site wasn’t on the first five pages of results for me.
He is in texas, 50% farther from me than california…
I’ve never clicked his page, ever..
I did a search for "Spray foam contractor" I believe, but can’t remember right now.
And he was within the top 5 links on the first page…
