Imagine how some of use feel after 6,7 months or longer.
Concentrate on making a good site and just wait. (Of course backlinks etc help - well sometimes :))
Use that time to build content and get inbound links.

Be patient. I can't put up a new page on my sites without Google indexing it in a couple days.
[google.com...]
seems 6 weeks in or so from bot traffic you get some more joy but its not concrete by any means
Adwords is the google business now, search is their means to and end($$$).
<snip> I am ranking ok for my keywords.

Buy tons of adwords <snip>
linkjack, that's great advice you are giving out everywhere around here - i can prove that paying for adwords does not guarantee placement in the index. Can you prove otherwise?

the first thing you wanna do is go on ebay and for 25 dollars buy a site wide link on a page with 10k pages, this is what i do and it has worked every and on all search engines
any more details/specifics on this? "buy a tie wide link on a page with 10k pages"?
no you can't
"Can you prove otherwise? "
if i could, i wouldn't dare say it. you should take me seriously though. just a thought.
"i can prove that paying for adwords does not guarantee placement in the index."
no you can't
sorry bud, but i'm the walking example of paying for Adwords yet getting thrown out of Google Search Index recently. (Adwords are still running, if you care to know)

Yeah I jsut submited my site map. What benifits will this have do you think?
It will help them see what you're doing, for better or worse, and find any un-linked pages, but you have to keep in mind that the program is still in Beta. Rate and depth of crawl and indexing are still most likely going to be down to the number and type of incoming links.
hmmm my site and every site ive ever helped get off the ground was in less than a day from when it was published, the first thing you wanna do is go on ebay and for 25 dollars buy a site wide link on a page with 10k pages, this is what i do and it has worked every and on all search engines
I'm really intrigued by the idea, but skeptical.
What makes you so sure it works? Can you elaborate on it a little more. Also can you sticky me with an example of an ebay site that has worked for you. Thanks.
So what I've decided to do is sign up to Sitemaps - first thing tomorrow I'll write and run a perl script for creating all the maps I need and then just switch it over.
Hope this is the answer we all seek.
The real *** with Google comes when you've had stuff listed, money's been made and THEN suddenly you get slowed down for 2 years by some damn Supplemental Result issue.
What I figure is that if it's the inbound link problem which is making my millions of pages supplemental, then having them in a sitemap will surely eliminate that. I don't see Amazon's 41 million pages showing as Supplemental!
And I'm 100% confident that my site's millions of pages are not spam, not 'scraper' material, not anything else reprehensible - just good old honest internet pages which are, after all, the lifeblood of things like google - without webmasters taking imagination and machines and combining them together, google would be a fantastic algorithm for searching zero of potentially billions of pages and sites!
I don't think that Google would keep crawling my site, and indeed have crawled close to a million pages last month if they had anything against my site - they've had 2 years of mass crawling to decide that - and if a site is bad, then surely they wouldn't carry on crawling and listing.
But you know what, this post is neither a question nor an answer - it's the only valid thing any of us can truly express here - it's a lament. The Google Blues. That's what it is.
Dammit all. Tell you what. If sitemaps DOES get my pages back
to the high-profit levels they once knew, I promise to NOT
come back here and report it - on the grounds that
if it is the case, then that's what anyone else who's found
it out has done - and it's sensible really - mass adoption
of some new tool tends to rapidly saturate the tool's
environment and take away its beneficial properties from
many people who use it right (eg what happened to my site
2 years ago when spammers and scrapers learned to build
gigantic-content sites {with only stolen or redundant content}
my years of building legit sites of the kind they
wanted to mimic the look of no longer reaped the benefits
it should rightly have continued to get from google for
the last 2 years);
so if in a few months you find this post - see if it's
my final post at webmasterworld - if so, u know what 2 do!

My site has been up for about 1 month and has some useful content.
It was 13 months in the sandbox for me. By that time, I had written around 700 pages of content.
