Are my pages sandboxed?

    Hi

    I created some specific content for the purpose of explaining the applications of our products more specifically on certain cars, but secondly to help SEO for the more long-tail keywords. My site already ranks no.1 on google for its main keywords (even tho its currently PR0...i'm working on improving relevant inbound links now). However these pages have been on the site for about 3 weeks now, i have one in my sig here (BMW HID Kits) and have added some inbound links to them (only about 3 or 4). I know from google cache that my site has been recrawled and i know that my links in my sig here must have been picked up, however these pages are not even indexed by google. Does this mean they are sandboxed? If so how long are they likely to be sandboxed for?

    No - its only sandboxed if it is indexed.
    Make sure you have submitted a sitemap that includes the page!

    Thankyou for your reply, i'm just confused why some pages just will not get indexed. Other pages are indexed, but these specific ones won't get picked up even tho i have had them in signature links, posted comments on blogs and submitted a sitemap to google. For over a month now it has not been indexed. Just doesn't make sense to me.

    my advice to you is to submit each new page or post to both mixx and propeller and they will be indexed in 24 hours
