Is this a general question or a question directed to your site?

If the question is directed to your site can you list your keyterms-

Yahoo and MSN put more emphasis on the on-page factors(eg keyword density, location etc)
Google puts more emphasis on the off-page factors (esp anchor text of incoming links) and quality signals (eg on links to viagara sites; crosslinking; etc)

If you doing OK in MSN and Yahoo and bad in Google, then this means one of three things:
1) Be patient as you sandboxed (if new site)
2) Get more links with keywords in anchor text
3) Fix the quality signals (eg who are you linking to)

In your case, its probably due to your proliferation of spammy interlinking/crosslinking network of sites:

But we are not crosslinking each other.
I think problem with interlinking.
You are requested suggest me that the site internel linking is correct?

Thanks for your time.

Reddy - Your site has some serious marketing behind it as far as unique link building....

I suggest clean up your HTML - validate the page - and you should skyrocket!...

sandbox is definetly not an issue...

You should be ranking better - it's the code.... clean it up....

My educated guess

first thing I noticed is that you don't have specific googlebot instructions for your site.

It would look like this with the robot instructions

<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="index, follow">
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="INDEX, FOLLOW">

This is the most up to date meta tag for googles spiders. Should help some in addition of cleaning up your code.

Also make sure all text links have title tags and all images have alt tag identification.

Those tags are entirely unnecessary. All you are doing is saying, "Spiders -- do what you normally do." The only time you should include a "robots" meta tag is if you do NOT want the normal behavior, as in "noindex, follow", "index, nofollow", or "noindex, nofollow". Otherwise, omit them.
