Under Construction Web Site

Should I allow index or not?

[pizzaguy]

I have been creating a new web site for the last couple months. I see Googlebot coming and indexing my pages regularly and when I do index search on Google, I see some results and even supplemental results for some of my pages. I was wondering if this would affect my rankings in the future and should I use noindex in my robots.txt file?

As long as your links point to pages with content, and you don't have any broken links, let Google crawl your site.

Keep adding pages, and update your site map.

Google likes fresh content.

It's going to take you a few weeks at minimum before Google indexes all of your pages, and several months before you start to rank (asssuming that you've done all the right stuff to get ranked).

Why wait?
