10 days ago I established new static html website with 50 pages.

When I search for the title of my website(with quotes) I get 3 results but any of them aren't mine.

If I use previous query with "filter=0" I only see my domain URL (not the title and description of my homepage) :-/

I guess the problem could be somewhere there:

a)I submited my website to 50 SE's or directories in one day
b)I have over-optimized the main page for some keywords
c) maybe 10 days are not enough to be completly listed in Google index
d)Maybe my internal links are recognized by Google as spam

I link from index to 5 pages (contact,about,faq,index,games). Every page of these pages links back to index.

There are 41 links from the page Games. One link is to index and the rest to the unicate pages - for example name-of-the-game.html. These pages only link to the index!
However the every page of these pages contains an unicate article related to the game.

btw. The IP address of web host and the domain name hasn't been persecuted by Google before. So it is a new domain and new IP.

Thank you for opinions.

e) maybe you don't have meaningful backlinks from other sites yet

Your size and linking structure sound OK.

I'd just like to reiterate the above answer. You shouldn't be holding your breath, sweating, breathing into a paper bag, or worrying about where your site ranks for at least 4 more weeks.

See this page: 26 steps to 15k a Day [searchengineworld.com]

During your obligatory wait period, you should be watching your log files. You want to see that bots that come along are able to navigate your site correctly, and can find pages without problems.

If the googlebot comes along one day and only slurps your home page, don't freak out and ask why didn't it get your whole site. It just doesn't work like that until your site is proven itself important enough for google to index. Having said that, if googlebot comes along and tries to get to pages that don't exist on your site, but look like they could possibly be malformations of pages that do exist, then be worried, and try the link checkers and sim spiders that are available to find out what's wrong.

another possability could be that google changed something in regards to how it views and ranks new sites. If you try to pump it up in popularity too fast it'll ban you. Its way too easy to recommend "just sit and wait". If your experienced in this field you will see that something beyond the "sandbox" is in effect in google's new algo. A slow approach to new sites seems to be effective, we've noticed that you push a new site too hard and it'll get banned. The same effect does not appear to happen with older more established sites (that already have PR and backlinks..)

morseu_s, any possibillity that your domain had a previous owner?

I have the same problem with 1 of my domains for a year now. I suspect my domain has been SEO-abused and banned by google.

Then write to them - I eventually got replies to all my queries, and though necessarily brief and (in most cases) necessarily automated, they were concise and spelled out whether my sites were banned or not (they weren't).
