Am I somehow blocking spiders?

[malcolm]

Well I'm getting desperate. I lie awake wondering if I've made some fundamental error at www.greatstuff.co.uk

The site has been live for about two months and here are site report card result as at today:

Summary Results for www.greatstuff.co.uk

Link Popularity 171 40 0 0 0 0 177

So 923 listings in Google and link pop of 171

However Google toolbar gives me a PR of 0 and backward links shows as just 2.

I've submitted to every directory I can find and paid in a lot of cases. I know therefore that the site is in Joe Ant, Gimpsy and many more. DMOZ submission was done some time ago. The whole site has mod_rewrite and all pages are static.

This it the content of the robots.txt file:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /banner/
Disallow: /hidden/
Disallow: /img/
Disallow: /lang/
Disallow: /logo/
Disallow: /offer/
Disallow: /upload/

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

Is there anything that I can improve?

Please help,

Thank you

Malcolm

Seems to me you're doing OK - you just need to wait for the next PR update and will see results of your hard work :-)

And don't worry about 2 backlinks in Google - you've got a lot more.
