    Hi all,

    Here's a question that I am hoping that one of the SEO guru's here can answer.

    Should I have a robots.txt file, plus a <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL"> tag?

    I just redid the content on this site. (We are talking basic dreamweaver here), and google won't index the rest of the pages. The first page is ranked as a 2. http://www.visionhr.com.au

    Any ideas? Much appreciated.

    You need to remove the blank line from the middle of your robots.txt file:

    User-agent: *
    
    Disallow: /Images/
    
    Code (markup):
    You can use this tool to validate it. For mor information on the robots.txt file as well as the robot meta tag, visit the offical website.

    Google has indexed 7 pages from your site, MSN has indexed 23. You need to give it time...

    Cryo.

    Visionhr,

    consider using a Google registered sitemap.
