    My site is 3 days old, and I've submitted my URL and Sitemap to Google, and the Googlebot has visited my site 5 times in the past 3 days. They've also viewed my Sitemap. However, I'm still not indexed with Google! MSN and Yahoo have also visited my site, with the same result.
    Using Google's webmaster's tools, they haven't identified any errors with my site. So why am I not indexed yet? Do I just need to give it more time, or am I doing something completely wrong?

    I have a sitemap that is submitted to Google, a meta description, appropriate titles for each page, all links are text, formatted with css...

    You could try this tool
    I use it for every new site I launch.

    Good luck!

    Thank You for your Reply -
    That site was very helpful, however it still doesn't tell me why Google visits my site and won't index me...

    it usually takes a week to get indexed via sitemap submission. it takes even longer through URL submission to google. quickest way to get your site indexed is by getting backlinks form high traffic sites. you can bookmark your site to few top bookmarking sites which will get your site indexed lot sooner

    Thank you sultanofseo! I figured it was just a matter of time, but just wanted a conformation. I also am going through and adding my site to the top bookmarking sites now. Thanks again!

    sometimes it will take more than a few days. a good thing is to submit your site to a couple high pagerank social bookmarking sites like digg.

    Just get readers, and wait up. Google in some cases indexes in 24 hours, and sometimes may take 1 or 2 weeks. The key is to update your site, and insert tags so that robots visit it regularly on change.
