    When I type:

    site:www.RobotsAndComputers.com

    I used to get 1-10 out of 150 results. I did it a few days ago and had 115 results. Now I have 120...

    What is going on!?

    Thanks...

    It's showing 128 here. Did you have any pages with duplicate content by any chance, or multimedia files such as PDFs and Flash files? How are you linking your pages together (I didn't look at your site)? And what are you doing to market and promote your site online? Do you have any pages blocked by a robots.txt file or that are using a noindex,nofollow META tag?

    Check those first just to make sure. (I would have done so myself, but I have a lot of apps running plus I have a ton of tabs open in Opera, so memory's kinda at a premium right now.)

    Well, none of the pages are duplicates. The main page is linked to the others using a .JS javascript file built by a program called WebStyle, but the other pages are linked together with standard <a href> links. No multimedia files, but there are numerous (50 - 100) PDF files, but those are all linked from one page. I don't have any of the noindex or nofollow tags or any type of robot.txt.

    As far as promoting... not much. The only thing I know to do right now is to swap links with other Robot-oriented web sites and I always add a link to the site in my signature when I post on forums... I'm always open to ideas on promoting :)

    Thanks for your time...
