OT - How do search engines work?

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

My education in this matter is not as good as that of others, but one problem
you have is that Yahoo isn't a pure "web-crawler" type search engine. You need
to register your main site with them. That will get it in the database.

Some search engines build databases by using "web-crawling" tools. These visit
as many web sites as they can find. Some of them search the meta tags and titles
for keywords, and a few search the main text. You've done everything you can to
get into those databases.
