With regards to setting up Google Webmaster; I've already tried that and although the site has been verified and has a Google site map, it still says 'No pages from your site are currently included in Google's index. Indexing can take time.' since day one. (I'm starting to wonder how much time they meant by that!)

with regards to Meta Keywords; although I've had other websites being indexed even though they've got more keywords I understand that over doing it does more harm than good and appreciate your logic so I've updated the keywords for all the pages to see if that'll make any difference.

Once again, your input is appreciated but I'm running out of ideas!!
