If ya invest the 20 bucks somewhere on a powerful directory or some high PR site, you are sure to get indexed Dp does too, but I dunno how long you have been having that in your sig. This is assuming you want to get indexed and not rank for a keyword for $20
Been there, done that. 3 months brand new site, not banned (unless there something I don't know) And regarding the winner, good question. I don't know myself
See your site's awstats. If Google spider is just visiting the home page and going back, your site is probably banned. One of my sites doesn't show up with "site:" command, but it is getting regular traffic from Google.
I think this is a weird contest. But I am interested if this offer is still good. BTW, I visited your site and I saw that there are images beside the adsense. That's not good mate. Just a friendly advice, remove those images before getting banned from adsense.
Result: No results found, attempting a different look-up... The domain name has no PageRank value, it is LIKELY to be banned. The domain name has no records with Google. It is either new or MAY BE banned.
Looks like it's banned. I guess I can't join in the contest after all. Unless you can give me more than $20... Let's say $1K
