Robots
"Robots are coming but they only read my index.htm. In the last week, 5 or 6 have visited but none have analyzed my site."
Typical robot behavior is to visit the top-level page first.They will come back at intervals and follow the links from the index page: provided there are links, and the site doesn't use frames too heavily. They are programmed to space their requests out to avoid overloading any server with their activity. I took the time to track their course through a new multi-level site with about 50 pages by analyzing the log files for requests from known robot IP addresses. I only submitted the index.htm page, and had all the proper robot bait in place before I submitted.
Here's a composite picture:
First, there was a request for robots.txt, followed by a hit on the index.htm page. Within the week, there were requests for the pages linked from the index page, and they hit the third level pages by the end of the fortnight. Every visit was preceded by a request for robots.txt and about five pages (maximum) were requested each day.
Frames make it VERY difficult for robots and repeat visitors. Neither one can set bookmarks and jump back to where they want to go after leaving the site. Unless you have an absolutely overwhelming need for frames, they are more trouble than they are worth.

to track down robot visitors.
