Google Won't Index My Site!

It's logged it but won't index it!

Hi

I've submitted my site to Google and 8 weeks later it has logged it (can be proven by SITE:WWW.DOMAIN-NAME.CO.UK) but it does not traverse the links to the rest of the site.

It's just a standard Dreamweaver MX 2004 site built from a template, just like loads of other ones I have done.

Is this is Google still waiting to crawl my site or have I got something confusing in my HTML?

Is there a utility to check my site with something like Google's crawler? I've tried two online programs and they get all my links fine and I've run it through the Dreamwer HTML checker as well.

Please help

See the TOS, you're not supposed to post links to your own sites in here, so a mod will probably remove that soon.

What you're experiencing could be due to the "sandbox" phenomena, or simply a lack of sufficient inbound links. You may have some links pointing to the site, but have they all been crawled recently?

Something I've noticed is that one link is rarely sufficient to get a new site crawled, because even if it gets noticed by Google it won't be considered important enough until there are enough good links. Currently no links are showing on the link: search for your site, and although this search doesn't show all the sites that are linking to you, it's a good indication of where you should be focusing your efforts now.
