I took on a job of sorts from my little brothers teacher, saying she wants improvement of a website, but I look at the site and I think, "wow this is an impressive site" and I don't see why it would not get alot of hits, so is there a way that it can get more hits to the site without(hits as in visits) making it get bad words embed in there like most youtube.com video links or whatever?
most sites other sites I go to wouldn't take this seriously so this is the only site I can go to really to ask about it...sorry if I am asking too much...
also if this is not allowed sorry, please inform me..(the link is not supplied because I am not sure if its allowed in this case)

the main reason I explained that is because I forgot to...
and what are meta tags? and robots.txt?
