Coming from a web design and development background, one of the things that was most important to me if I was going to pursue the Drupal dream, was it's ability to be search engine friendly. 5 months later and with as many Drupal site builds under my belt, I'm now pretty confident that I have the right SEO toolset. This writeup at codegobbler.com details my top 5 modules for optimising Drupal for the search engines. What do you think? Am I missing anything?

Very Interested
I'm really interested in what you've written, but it appears that your site is broken. Perhaps you could re-post it here?

pagetitle
I'd say the page title module (http://drupal.org/project/page_title) is more important than the robotstxt one
mainly because the robots.txt doesn't need to be dynamic, and most ppl don't run multiple drupal-sites from the same domain
There are problems with
There are problems with Drupal's default robots.txt as outline in this article: http://drupalzilla.com/robots-txt
Changing the core robots.txt, just like any other core hack, will get you in trouble when updating Drupal.
Installing a module to dynamically create a robots.txt file on a single site Drupal installation seems like breaking a butterfly on a wheel, but as long as Drupal's robots.txt issues (http://drupal.org/node/180379) are not fixed, it makes sense.
