It might be becuase he might have some links from other websites, or because the sites might once have been websies insstead of parked pages

you should consider adding MATA TAGS to your web pages

TOTALLY AND SHAMELESSLY WRONG!!!!

Search engines don't pay ANY attention to metatags anymore.

I can prove that wrong right (the part about having a site before) now because the discription is of a Namedrive website.

But yea links from other sites sound about right.

The part about website with ex-content being parked and still indexed by google isn't wrong.

Just imagine Yahoo becoming parked at namedrive. I don't think it will get removed from google indexes right away. So, it WILL be spidered and indexed, no matter it's current parked status.

Firstly
either
1/ Submit your Site to www.linkwolf.com/submit.php
2/ Than search out and Do similiar on other directories
or
1/ Find some similar sites and request links from their site to yours
2/ Pay for some links from similar sites using a Paid links Site like www.linkworth.com or textlinkads.com

Secondly
Some of the Previous Advice that has been given is PURE CRAP
1/ Google is quite happy to index domains listed on SEDO ,including new registrations.

2/ Manual Submissions (Once per domain) are still acceptable by Google

3/ Writing an article and than getting several article sites to accept,distribute is a great way for getting your site some much needed traffic ,but can take a lot longer than most methods for initial Listing.

use paid or free web services or submit directly to each search engine database

1) To get your site registered in any search engine (say google) you
need any website registered in google to link back to you. Genrelly if
the website linking to your website has atleast Google PR1 your site
will be registered fast. The more the PR of the site the fast your site
will be registered in google.

(PR- Google Page Rank (or PR as it is often referred to as) is
simply an indication of the number of websites that link to a specific
website. It also attempts to indicate the quality of those links. PR
ranges from 0 to 10 (with 10 being the 'best' PR and 0 being the 'worst').
The vast majority of small business websites will usually find they have
a PR of between 0 and 5.)

For more details on PR and DMOZ see this thread-

Do not submit you site to google through http://www.google.com/add_url.html

Submitting your site to google with above link puts your site in their
database of the sites which are to be crawled which takes atleast
4-6 weeks.

And in between if you get some good backlinks and your site gets
registered then when the google robots will reach your site after 4-6
weeks due to your submission to above link, they will concideryou site
as newly developed and put your site in Google sandbox.

So i'll advice atleast not to submit your site directly to google.

2) Then to get backlinks you can submit your site to some free directories
like http://www.all-linksite.com or http://www.linkwolf.com
or any free directory.
If you have enough cash you can even buy paid submissions.

3) Then if you can write good articles you can also submit you articles to
http://goarticles.com or http://ezinearticles.com and get direct backlinks.
Writing good articles have very far reaching advantages coz these sites
have lots of visitors so if anyone will find your article good enough they
will visit your website( So you get free visitors) and if they like your site
they can even link back to you.

All the above methods were just to get your site registered or getting
some backlinks. But to improve your rankings you need to do a lot of
inpage as well as offpage SEO to your site.
