On all the search engines my static pages , some 25 of them are not being indexed. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my code. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I love this forum :)

I have copied and pasted my Head below, possibly in there there is a problem, I have links on my front page (that IS indexed) to all my static pages.

<script language=JavaScript>var message="MY SITE NAME";</SCRIPT><script language=JavaScript src="http://www.mysite.com/Zcode/AllowRightClick.js"></SCRIPT> <link href="/zcode/StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<HTML><HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">
<META Name="Description" CONTENT="I have description in here some 20 or so words">
<META Name="Keywords" CONTENT="Some 40 keyords in here">
<META NAME="distribution" CONTENT="Global">
<META NAME="revisit-after" CONTENT="5 days">
<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="All">
<META NAME="rating" CONTENT="General">
<META NAME="copyright" CONTENT="my servers name here">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="Host name and www here">
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

a sample link

<div align="left"><font color="#000099" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a href="http://www.staticpage.cfm" title="widgets"> widgets</a> - widgets only the best</font></div>
<li>

I'm no expert but here goes:
1) Put the javascript within the head section, instead of before the <HTML>
2) Your link is wrong: [staticpage.cfm...] needs to be [yourdomain...] (which is not static!)

I would also get rid of the META's, you don't need most of them.

i think you have to be a bit patient, you said before you're waiting to get into dmoz!, as before work on your link campaign, as far as i know actual quality of html coding will not affect your listing.
But i always make sure my html is as clean as possible, don't be shy of the validator, don't use anything that's deprecated (like the dreaded font!), the meta 'revisit' doesnt work!
