1. You need atleast one back link (link from other sites) to your site
for Google to accept your site in your index.

That is not necessarily true. People have submitted without links and have
made it in the index. You do need links to stay though sometimes as without
links your site isn't of value to the SE's. Links to your site is a way of
showing that your site is of some use.

2. Hope you have not shut the door on Google in your robots.txt file

He probably hasn't, and this should not have been brought up as the OP
wasn't speaking of this.

Thanks for your reply. What do you mean regarding shutting the door on
Google in my robots.txt file. I don't believe I have such a file. Not
sure
what you mean.

Don,

Since you don't know what a robots.txt then you don't have one that is
disallowing Google. A robots.txt is a file that states to allow or disallow
user agents. Don't worry about it, you really don't have to have one, but to
have one to allow would make sure you won't have all those errors on your
server. It really isn't a biggy unless you need to disallow a SE bot....as
the meta no index really doesn't work for some bots.
