Google engines also don't normal visit unless you ask them and you have to ask them to come back again... feel free if you wish have a look at our page source on our own website...

also I found they treat you better if you have an account with them and ask the bots to visit that way as well

Robot look at the first page so you need text here for it also

How to write a Robots Meta Tag
Where to put it

Like any <META> tag it should be placed in the HEAD section of an HTML page, as in the example above. You should put it in every page on your site, because a robot can encounter a deep link to any page on your site.
What to put into it

The "NAME" attribute must be "ROBOTS".

Valid values for the "CONTENT" attribute are: "INDEX", "NOINDEX", "FOLLOW", "NOFOLLOW". Multiple comma-separated values are allowed, but obviously only some combinations make sense. If there is no robots <META> tag, the default is "INDEX,FOLLOW", so there's no need to spell that out. That leaves:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
 
brain has just shut down lol
as iweb 09 already diverts it to /welcome
do i need to create a new webpage blank then go to the html

and write <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">

does anything need to be done baring this
sorry im useless with all this html - meta name stuff
 
Google doesnt use META tags to rank, it uses keywords and semantically structured HTML code

Your main page is a redirect which I suspect is the reason it is not being ranked.
Rename the main page to index.html instead of welcome.html and I would all but guarantee that it will get ranked a short time after

On another note, your main page does fail validation

Search engines love web pages which are valid HTML and are also Semantic

It looks like you have used a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor to create the page so it uses DIV elements instead of Tables for layout which is great news from an SEO standpoint. However you havent got any heading tags (H1, H2, H3) etc and these will help a lot with search engine ranking

I have designed several websites from scratch using just notepad so drop me a PM if you have any more questions
 
In my honest opinion the redirect to welcome.html really wont help with rankings

In fact, I honestly think it will have a negative effect. Its fairly easy to remove the redirect and setup the homepage to be index.html
