getting a site on searce engines

[hargi]

having a little bit of trouble with this,
got some meta tags in place an di submitted the url to google, a week ago and even searching for the url which is part of the keywords isnt bringing the site up.
In the past sites i made have appeared on gooogle automatically. What am i doing wrong?
I dont have a site map made for the site is there a tutorial on doing this?
I dont have any links from other sites to it. whats a robotfile and do i need one if i want all the pages searched?
TIA
Matt

You need external sites linking to get indexed. I'll swap you a link on one of my sites for the same favour returned if you like? Email in trust

Aslo go to www.google.com/accounts and create an account (if you dont have an account already).

Then go to webtools or webmaster tools and you can sort everything from there including your sitemap and get you can get your site indexed quicker by uploading a file from google and then letting google search for that file.
