ok I have a very annoying problem. I have this page uploaded on the server and i am trying to search it with google but for some reason it wont come up in google no matter what i type. HELP!!!! I have tried robots but still wont work. I am not trying to search in the page. I want ppl to find my page with google when they type - say "nrm08". Nothing shows up when I type nrm08 on google.

Here is the code:

That's probably because it has no content.

Code:

<style type="text/css">
 <!--
 body {
 background-color: #000000;
 }
 -->
 </style>

If you were really serving XHTML, that whole style block would be ignored.

Google doesn't consider keywords and description when it indexes pages. It looks for content within the body section. If you're using Flash, there are some alternatives suggested here: http://www.google.com/support/webmas...y?answer=35267
Don't try things like hidden text, though, as that will get you bounced from Google.

Google doesn't automatically index it until you...tell it to.
Google does index pages with no content, as long as the code isn't:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

I believe it would index that, but just not include it in the searches, since there is no content.
It also is not valid html. You need, for example, the title.
