I finally somewhat finished my first site and I figured there is no  
better way to improve your programming than by getting feedback from  
other developers. So any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Ben,

Well done. I do have one quote I love to live by:

“Less is more”

Going overboard with ajax can cause problems with your search engine  
rankings.

We are going to build landing pages for search engines and have them use  
the fall back links for the ajax. So the ajax really shouldnt effect the  
search engine rankings if we do this properly. Thanks for the feedback!

You shouldn’t rely on landing pages for this. It’s a very bad move.
