Hello webadept-ga,

This is regarding www.hippietiger.com again......I like to thank you
for all your help. I have a big favor to ask. I like to ask you to
read the source code of my web pages (only 5 pages, do all the things
you said I should do and also write me a robot.txt.  You can just copy
and paste the code and then I will copy and paste the code too.

Also if you think there is something I need to do to get a better
listing please either do it or suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi kamy,

Good day and thanks for your question.

Judging from your previous question, you want that the search bot
should visit all your pages. hence, you need only a single line in
your robots.txt, that is,
User-agent: *

In addition to the robots.txt file, add the following META tag to all
your webpages:
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
'index' tells the robot to index the page in the search engine.
'follow' tells the robot to follow all links on the page

The best way to get a good ranking on google is to have a number of
inward links i.e. links from external websites pointing to your page.
Try visiting sites relavant to your site and request them for a link
to your site. Please note that they may request an exchange link in
return.

Link to your own site on each page. I noticed there are no links to
the original site (http://www.hippietiger.com) on any of your pages.
In addition, the title banner on each page points to http:/// It would
be a good idea if the title banner pointed to the page on which it is
put.

Try to get your site listed in directories like dmoz.org and
Looksmart. I'll share a secret with you about how to get listed in
looksmart for free. The site http://www.zeal.com is a mirror of
looksmart. Sign up at zeal and register as a zealot and add your site
in the category of your choice for free, as against paying money to
looksmart.

You could resort ot keyword and link spamming, but the consequences
are severe if caught. Your site may be permanently banned from the
search engine.

Make sure you go through the Google Webmaster's guide

I hope this answers your question. If you have any clarifications,
then please don't hesitate to ask.

Good day and thank you for using this service

Warm Regards,
