Some webmasters actually bar this bot, as it has been known to go into mad sucking mode _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

There is a delay some times large between a bot and an appearance on a search engine. ask jeeves is a search engine. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

There are search engine bots and advertising bots. Maybe you are not getting the search engine bots. You can't just sit back with google, you have to try and get a search engine rating. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

You need to do some reading in this forum and Symon has posted some good stuff on http://howtodoit.myfreeforum.org/ as well. To be honest it has taken me some time to get round to doing anything, but after reading the posts here and on Symons forum I am getting an understanding of the basics. _________________ Childminders, Long Eaton, Sawley and Sandiacre - Nottingham
