Number after plus is hits on robots.txt
What's the deal?
How much of the site shows up in the index with a site:example.com search?
A yahoo site:domain.com I get 2 results. (old index that doesn't exist, and my current forums.
A MSN site:domain.com I get 45 results. LOL.
The site was published on the web late late September/ early early October.
You can also check to see if there are any tacky sites on the same IP number, it's not impossible that it's a server-related issue. Not only a "tainted IP" but sometimes hosts do things to turn bots away. When you find other sites/domains on the IP, check to see if they're fully indexed. You can also ask the host.

It's a bit early to see many listings. MSN is the freshest for new sites these days, Y has always been rather slow, and G has a problem with listing new sites (old sites, new pages, no problem). Keep adding content in the interim, and you should see improvement eventually (they're checking the robots.txt, so they know you're alive).
and Stefan thank you for the advice i'll just kick back and ride the wave.
