The 'katy' site is broken up into three tables and only the first has that background image (which is covered by the blue). &nbsp;The 'fix' site has the table with the background image containing all the rest so it shows thru.<br />
<br />
Also, that mass of keywords is pretty useless and may actually cause problems since it is so overdone. &nbsp;Google says that they ignore keywords that are not contained in the content of the page.

Please look at <a href="http://sprinklerfix.com/" rel="ugc">http://sprinklerfix.com/</a>. Note there is a background image under the main body area. This is accomplished by this:<br />
<br />
&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; &nbsp;border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; background=&quot;images/cad-bac<wbr />kground.gi<wbr />f&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
I am aware that using this old techniques is a no-no; css should be used. But it works.<br />
<br />
Now look at <a href="http://www.sprinklerrepairkaty.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.sprinklerrepairkaty.com/</a><br />
<br />
Note there is no background image. View Source. Notice this:<br />
<br />
&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; &nbsp;border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; background=&quot;<a href="http://www.sprinklerfix.com/images/cad-background.gif" rel="ugc">http://www.sprinklerfix.com/images/cad-background.gif</a>&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
Why doesn't this work?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Please look at http://sprinklerfix.com/. Note there is a background image under the main body area. This is accomplished by this:

<table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="images/cad-background.gif">
