robot text
I'm a novice @ website design as a post previously, but can anyone tell me where to put it in HTML code and what to put in it? (robot text)
thanks

Actually you create a file - robots.txt and save it in the root web (usually where your index.html file (your home page) is).
I uploaded one example. When I created this a few years ago a lot of these that were listed were "bad bots". And it prevented my site from getting hit by spammers.
For more information check out the Web Robots Pages. Then their is this tool that will help you create your own robots.txt file. After you create it, check it with the Robots.txt Checker and that will help to explain it to you in layman's terms

You create a txt file names robots.txt and upload it to the root (probably in the public_html folder. As long as it is visible when you go to www.example.com/robots.txt you have done it correctly.

You can add code into the html of your Web site but not all bots are trained to recognize this additional code.
If you have set up a Google Sitemap you can use their tools to test your robots.txt file. They will also give you statistics of how many of your pages are open to Google's bot and how many you have restricted.

Robots text wont get you at the top of google.
Have you been undertaking any linking strategies?

Well of course 1st page position isn't that simple a thing to do, but in general when building your site, a few good places to start are,
Make sure your page title includes the name of the co. as well as some short blurb like -cosmetics or whatever your product or service is.
Don't use Flash for navigation or for text content
Don't use old style javascript menus, which write the menu on the fly. If you have flyout menus, be sure they're hard coded and just hidden/shown with javascript (but css is a better option)
Use text links where possible. If you have to use images for links, be sure the alt attribute is used and the title attribute.
A site map is a good idea too, for SEO purposes.
I'll leave the rest for roban, he's our resident SEO wiz.
