I put up a site at the end of April, and it still hasn't been indexed. It has links to it, including a PR 6 link from a related site of mine (on a different server). I've put up more recent sites that all have PR by now, so I'm wondering what's going on.
I do occasionally link to and from my related sites, but I'm pretty careful about not doing a lot of cross-linking. I do SEO, but again, I'm pretty careful about not doing anything dubious. It's just one of my dozen-odd content sites; there's nothing spammy or duplicitous about it.
I checked the way back site, and I don't think anybody has had the domain name before me.
Would e-mailing Google help? Should I just try again with a different domain name? Any other thoughts?
For example, one presumes that you've checked that Google has re-indexed the page in your (external) site that links to it? If Google hasn't got the link in its cache, it's not yet seen your site from "outside"
Have you checked the external reference to it in a spider-simulator (and indeed the page itself), and checked them for W3C compliance?
These are probably things you've done already, but if not, they're things you can be getting on with while others mail you about the virtues and vices of emailing Google!

including a PR 6 link from a related site of mine ...
Have you taken a look at the cache of this PR6 page with the link to see if it reflects the link to the new site?
Maybe it hasn't been visited in a while.

I will figure out how to do this and give it a try. Thank you.
also check the wayback archive to see if the domain might have been previously owned .. and looks spammy (hence may have been banned by google)
