How long was it down? over a year? Or is this a new site? PS congrats on your comeback (i think) EDIT: lol its brand new! i thought you posted cause it was de-indexed at one time thx malcolm
adsense is pointless if u dont have traffic.Well that goes with almost all ad programs.Traffic is everything..
Congrats. FYI you can right 10-15 quick articles and submit your URL to google and get indexed these days. The hard part is building SERP, for that make sure you stay focused on SEO building techniques, find a "Theme" for your site and narrow your topics to only a few select areas and you'll rank higher every day!
