    Hello everyone. I'm totally new to SEO and over the last month or so I have read every article i could get my hands on. I still need some help though.

    The site i built is zevvo.com

    Please tell me if there is anything you can see that i did wrong. I tried to apply every concept I have heard of into the site.

    I also need some help with a few other things.

    First off today was the first day for the live site so i haven't submitted it to any search engines yet. Should I do this? What should my first steps be? Any suggestions would be great full.

    Secondly, I signed up for a Google webmaster account and submitted a site map however it is asking for the URL of my robot.txt - what is this?

    Thanks for the help everyone!

    don't say you don't understand anything from what you've read... well actually its fine even if you don't submit your site to SEs.. and about robot.txt maybe should read more about it: javascriptkit.com/howto/robots.shtml

    It's useless to submit your site to search engines. They will eventually get to your site via links on the web. Just make sure there are links from other sites pointing to your domain.

    As for robots.txt, it's a file that instructs search engines which parts of the site should be crawled and indexed and which sections should not. You can look into more information and robots.txt protocol by doing a search for it.
