Google Sandbox

Ok i have a new site .

For my domain my site ranks #1
which does not mean much.

when i do a site:www.domain.com i dont come up

My site has been crawled by googlebot but only once .

in my sitemaps I have 40 urls submitted and 3 indexed ?



Am i correct in assuming it will only be time before my site in indexed by google.

I just need natural links ?

Regards

Hi Malcolm99,

If you have 3 pages indexed they should come up when you search for site:www.domain.com
If a search for your domain returns your site (as a listing, not just a link) then the listed page(s) are indexed and should come up when you search for site:www.domain.com

It's possible that - if the site is brand new - it hasn't yet "reached" all Google databases so any inconsistencies would be temporary.

Yes - you just need backlinks, internal links and time to get the full site indexed

(I would forget about "the sandbox").
