I've had a new site up and running for about two months now. Everyday my toolbar has been grey for the site, then today.... it's white!

Has google-

a. Eventually found my site after all this time (still no results on a search though)
b. Looked at my site and banned it
c. Gone mad

I have no backlinks for it by the way.

Any suggestions inter-friends?

Quick answer?

'a' and 'c' are mostly true.

As for 'b', well, only you would know if you did something against G's guidelines.

Mmm. No, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. Is it NORMAL to go a couple of month on grey then hop to white without a listing?

How long do you think it will take to get a peoper listing from this point. Ballpark will do, I know nobody REALLY knows for sure.

Your white bar probably means a PR of less than one if you have no backlinks.

Can you think of any reason why it should have higher PR?!

Um, no? But if Google knows my site exists then why hasn't it crawled for keywords and featured my site in its index?

I see you live in Cornwall!

Anyway, I took a section of your site at random, service 2, and feed a phrase into Google.

Hells bells there are 100 sites with exact identical pages on Google. That might be your answer :(
