    Your page titles could do with some work. "Contact" is quite meaningless :)

    It's meaningless.
    Take the word in isolation - without any context. What are you left with?

    what black night means is you cant just have "Contact" by itself...its tasteless, something simple like "Contact Us" would make a better impression...especially to blacknight :)

    Err no.
    "contact" or "contact us" does not give any context if taken by itself

    Something like "contact company x about product a and service b" - which would give you some keyphrases that reflect your target market

    Actually... modifying a link called "Contact" at the bottom of the page to include SEO friendly keyphrases is practially useless. It's very unlikely to get you better results or lead to any change in traffic coming from search engines.

    If you want to get better results;
    - Make sure your meta-tags contain the right information
    - Pay attention to how you structure your content inside your site (what keyphrases are in what type styles / what content is linked within your site / the density of keyphrases to the overall number of words, etc)
    - Organise lots of links from sites with similar content to yours (and a high pagerank if you want to get listed in google)
    - Submit to the different major search engines that are used by people who fit the profile of potential clients for this business
    - Examine how all the content in high ranking sites are structured and apply similar principles within your own
