I don't have a robots.txt file..error 404

Can't get good Google or Yahoo placement

[jagbitsllc]

If I search using the term Jaguar parts, my site comes up in the top 5 on most search engines EXCEPT Yahoo and Google, I get 20 Error 404 reports showing robots.txt not found and I thought I needed this file to get in these search engine listings. What's strane also is I can go to Overture.com and type in Jaguar parts and I am #5 in the free listings. Overture says it's powered by Yahoo. Shouldn't I be #5 in Yahoo. After reading some info about this robots.txt I think it is only to stop crawlers. Anyone know what I need to do to get found?

Robots.txt isn't required. Good backlinks are. Work on getting "google" listed sites to link back to you and that should solve your problem with Google.

I know that I have many out there, I sell Jaguar parts and I linked up to Jaguar clubs and different directories, but I have a feeling that something is stopping Google and Yahoo from listing me but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions or should I find someone more experienced look over my site? I don't mind spending the cash, pay per clicks are already taking it!

How old is the domain? How long have you been linked with other Google listed site? About a year ago, Google would get all our pages every 30 days. Now that only get a % of them each month and get them all every few months.

Well I just realized that I have to pages [url.com...] and www.url.com would this affect Google and Yahoo? I'm not sure which page is linked. I read somewhere that I should link one to the other so the crawlers get to it. What do you think?
