That's now a clickable link which will also be picked up by Google.
I had a quick look at your site, but I am no expert (as some here could testify)
Although the homepage didn't appear to have any ranking with Google, the other pages do - 2 out of 10, which means that when your main page rank comes back (I've noticed mine comes and goes) it should be 3 out of 10 which is not bad for the site. Use of the ALT tags on the images might help a bit more with positioning as it would give Google more to index. Using keywords here would therefore give more chance of being listed in the first few pages of Google. Some other search engines still use the Keywords tag, so it maybe worth putting that in at least on the homepage. Perhaps you could get some more inbound links from other sites which will help boost ranking.
If you update your page/s regularly Google will visit more often. I have noticed with my own sites that making even a small adjustment to the home page brings Google in indexing within a day or two.
Well that's just a few things I've learnt, so I hope it helps.

Totally off topic....
But you really do need to have an easy to follow navigation structure (in fact, any navigation would be an improvement) IMHO.
You've disabled right-mouse (presumably to protect your images - that won't stop the determined image lifter). However, by doing so you've removed the Back function (via the mouse), and with no links back to anywhere on most pages the site becomes very tedious to browse, very quickly.
Even if you're Numero Uno in the search, once the visitor goes beyond the homepage, where there's little or no usable nav, they'll leave just as quickly. I'd recommend sorting out the site before worrying about search result positions.

You could find similar sites with a high ranking and see if they have a link exchange. If so, you could ask the webmaster nicely if they would like to exchange links. Make sure you word it well and are polite. Webmasters are more inclined to accept link exchanges from similar sites, especially when you are polite about it. As for your noddy site, well, you could try toy sites, childerns tv sites and others that may be related in someway.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about 'exchanging' links as much as linking to similar sites and getting others to link to your sit (assuming it is of interest to the linking site). Link exchange can be dangerous because of link farms..... A good place to learn about search engine optimising is: http://www.webmasterworld.com
