There is a patch for that -

And an explanation (I think).

I know how you feel, there are days, months even when I hate google ;D
The number one google result shows in google as having 457 links pointing towards it, in yahoo it shows 34,600 back links and has the keywords joomla templates in it's url. If I search your url it shows that you have 95 links pointing to you in google and yahoo shows 5,430, you need to get more back links preferably all one way but not too fast as google penalises you if you suddenly get a load of them and don't get them from anywhere like "link vault".

Google works on keywords. Your front page barely mentiones the word templates at all. Further to that you don't advertise that you designed the default template for joomla.
You mention Joomla plenty, you mention "Professional Joomla Solutions" quite a lot too, but it's almost as though you are afraid to say the word template.
if you want to be higher in google for template search you have to tell google that you have templates.
Further to that, without getting into politics, if you want to concentrate on Joomla more than Mambo then change your wording from Premiere Mambo and Joomla! Template Club, to 'Premiere Joomla Template Club. Templates for Mambo and Templates for Joomla."
The more you reference the word in your content the more google will recognise that your site relates to templates.
From that too, mention tha you made the default template. People think Solar Flare is fantastic so why not put it somewhere on the front page that you made it. People who are casual visitors or looking for templates will see that and think "hey this guy made that default one okay I gotta go in and see what else he can do"
Your front page is more an advertisement for Joomla rather than an advertisement for your skills and talent at making templates. I'm not saying you can;t advertise Joomla, but they do have their own site to do that. Maybe you could downsize that somewhat and focus a little more on your templates?
This too will help in google recognising that your site isn't just an extention of Joomla but rather is an independant site that makese templates.

Andy,
If possible, this will benefit us all - Unique page description and keywords.
We are already filling in the page descriptions and keywords so thatit can work well withsearch module...
Why not let every page be unique and extend those descriptions and keywords into the Meta Tag for the page. Exactly like MS Frontpage functions.
The Truth - Every page has the same web site default maeta tags from global configuration. - www.ahorre.com

Why does Google hate Jamboworks.com?
I have no clue why we do not show up in standard google search results for "joomla templates". We do show up with the adsense banners, but why we don't show up in the regular search results is beyond me.
Does anyone have any knowledge as to why our SEO is so lousy???
If anyone can find a way to get jamboworks.com onto page 1 i'll give them 1 year of access free. If they can get us to #1 spot i'll give you $200 cash too!

I just sent you an email, please read it and let me know.

- Guys really great advice here. Being that the template club is part of JamboWorks and that it cannot monopolize the entire JamboWorks website I'm at a bit of an impasse. However, we have a solution to address this. Stand by.

Andy,
This is not a direct answer to your question, so I'm not going for the prize...but I will make a comment.
I have been a member of Jamboworks Template club for 6 months and although I am sure that it's important for you to get on the first page of Google, it's even more important to make sure that you continue to provide your Clients and the community with what can only be called the best templates on Joomla.
The variety of solutions, applications, designs really great. Innovative and inspirational, really.
You do great work Andy, and provide a great service to this community. I can't wait for the end of the months to come around to see what you are gonna come up with next.
Just keep along the lines that you have been working and we will spread the word through the Clients that visit the sites we make from your great designs.
Ken

With my little knowledge in Joomla i would like to see tthings from other scope. Finding pirated software is surprisingly easy with Google. The last few months all templates from Jamboworks are published in a lot of warez sites (even January 2006 template !!!) Google's policy may except sites from their search engines. So, maybe Google search engines "understant" JamboWorks as warez and remove it.

Many people have already mentioned that links work, but internal links work just aswell too.
Google, well all computers are not that clever, so they really struggle trying to gues what your site is about given that they can only read the text not the graphics etc.
When you do a link change the name to key words,
<a href=" www.rockettheme.com " title="Joomla Templates" target="_blank">Joomla Templates</a>
rather than
<a href=" www.rockettheme.com " title=" www.rockettheme.com " target="_blank"> www.rockettheme.com </a>
This way google associates "Joomla Templates" with www.rockettheme.com
All the other ideas are good too
