Only URLs without any description in SERPs

what does it mean?

[online]

When i search for site:www.domain.com i get results with only the URLs of pages, and "similar pages" - no text from the page, no cache link, no size...
I would think that these are the very new pages, but it's been showing them like this for several weeks.. Any ideas?

good question online. my gut feeling is the same as yours. my new sites always start out as you mentioned. they only do that as long as you search for www.newdomain.com though. once the domain actually shows up in the results, you'll get the short txt relevant to your search. if you search for www.newdomain.com, I guess the domain is the only relevant stuff?

the more I write the more I realize I would like a better explanation as well!

any thoughts out there?

I have had - indeed I still do have - this on one of my sites. It has happened when google has found a link to a new page, but the new page has just this single entry point. Certainly google will crawl and index the page later, but right now it has deemed that it has more important places to visit.

Once your site home page (for example) has sufficient pagerank to be visited frequently, there's merit in having a "what's new" subsection that gives new pages a good link for a couple of weeks. You'll find that Google indexes the pages more promptly, and then you can remove them from the What's New and place your next tranche of additions there...
