This is a comment to the admin. I came to your “Class Schedule &” page via Google but it was hard to find as you were not on the front page of search results. I know you could have more traffic to your site. I have found a website which offers to dramatically increase your rankings and traffic to your site: http://nsru.net/zaj5 I managed to get close to 1000 visitors/day using their services, you could also get lot more targeted traffic from search engines than you have now. Their service brought significantly more traffic to my site. I hope this helps, happy new year!
