I want to know everything there is to know about getting a high ranking on search engines, please, if anyone knows of any free guides, or just tips I could use, or search engine submitter sites, strategies that have worked for you, I'd appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Googling "Search engine submission" will get you a few sites to do it and you can submit your site to google for free also.

There are literally thousands... millions... of sites that have info on search engine optimization (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=on&q=search+engine+optimization&btnG=Search).
Google has boiled it down to the basics in their Webmaster Guidelines.

What about these robots?..
<meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow">
<meta name="description" content="This page ....">
<title>...</title>
<body>
...
___
I put that code in on my admin cp, is that the right one?.. where and how and what are robots, I read the info on one of those links, I think the last one and I didn't understand what they are and how to use them.
Also, are there any specific pages on the web or tips you can give me on how to get a forum to rank higher?

What about these robots?..
<meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow"> It seems to be properly located on that page. That's a meta tag that tells visiting web robots how to treat that particular page. Info here:

[edit: Looks like your info above was copied from the page on this link. Read the info below.]
You don't need this meta tag unless you want to exclude some of your pages from being indexed and links on that page from being followed by search engine robots. For instance this tag...
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
...tells them to do what they would normally do anyway.
As for site rankings, there are so many sites with advice that it's hard to know exactly who to believe. Most of them offer similar advice but I suggest reading some of the links that show up at the top of seo searches as they are most likely to have the best info. It worked for them. This site is the best that I know:
