Not listed on inanchor, intitle searches

these are the symptoms but what is the diagnosis?

If your site comes nowhere on intitle, inanchor searches, it looks very very bleak, don't you think?

But here is the glimmer of hope :

for many searches of my target phrases (general as well as inanchors, intitles, etc), the SERPs are dominated by the very pages I've obtained links from over the last few months. So indirectly, the site is well ranked. That's the theory anyway. Is it just a matter of time before Google sees the direct connection, and lists this site up there with those other pages, or is there something I'm not doing?

The site is 7 months old, and all pages are indexed, so I think I can rule out sandbox. I'm flummoxed right now, to be honest.
