With group of people we have created an internet shop.
We have tried to make it as easy to crawl as possible. We even used Lynx Browser to be sure that everything looks good. We have about 60 000 products available but there are only 400 in Google's index.

Site is running for about 2 months now. We have generated sitemap and added it do Google Sitemaps Beta. We made sitemap of our site which is at our site.
We are using mod re-write.

MSN shows thousands of links to our site.

Google can be slow to add new pages from a new domain. And for the past 3-4 months, Google has been unpredictable due to their new infrastructure being deployed. Joining the Sitemap program was a good step. There have been some bugs with the program, but I think it will help you, long term.

Two months is a short time to establish a new business on Google. If you are seeing any Google traffic at all, you have done well. Be prepared to grow a bit more slowly than you might want. And in the meantime, make sure your site is free of potential problems. I realize that you are trying to get established, but it can help to read through these threads about issues that have caused sudden problems for others:

Also -- it may or not have any relation to your site, but there is a new crawl pattern with Google these days. This thread may be something to keep in mind:
