About a month ago on March 25 I submitted my site to google, but it was not finished at all. I figured I would be done my site by the next deep crawl so thats why I submitted it early. But the problem is that I have gone a total different direction with my site and probobly wont be finished for about 3 months. What will happen if google starts indexing my site before i'm finished? I know i'm being a little broad, but what should I do? Not put the site up at all and have it tested locally on my computer and then upload it? Would google index all those added pages? Thx for your opinions.

Nothing will happen, except you might get off-topic visitors before you are "done". If your content changes over time, where your site shows in search results will too.

So what you are mainly saying is that I have nothing to worry about and google will "adapt" to my site as it changes?

Dont worry Bob, Google will visit your site once a month (or more often if youre lucky) and update their records.

Not if you put up a robots.txt file that tells Google to stay away until you are ready.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Google will change with your site. I too did a similar thing on purpose (for a few reasons) but my site is no where near "update mode". However, numerous sections and sub sections of the site are done and they are doing what they're supposed to (independently). Once the full site is in "update mode" it will be quite interesting to see what kind of traffic I'll pull in.
