    I have a site that is being crawl by googlebot every other day or so, but when I do info:www.thesitename.com, I am getting nothing. When I got to the site, no PR but is the grey out; so I guess is not banned, is this mean is sandboxed? Thank you.

    Crawl just means the that info is being gathered. If/when it is added into the database is a whole different matter.

    I recently lauched a new site and it's in MSN and Yahoo, but not Google. In fact on my old site if I put up a new page it would be indexed within 3 days, but lately it's been taking weeks.

    There seem to be some issues with Google lately and as I've said before; I think someone broke it;)

    I think crawl mean indexed but not updated on all Datacenters. Because it wait of you. I think google want see what is tomorrow on this page and the next day and another. And then wait google of Backlinks. If all is ok then would be your site activate on all Datacenters.

    I hope it's realistic and logical story.

    Hi Saidev,

    If the PR bar on your GoogleBar is greyed out, that most likely means that your site is banned. If it isn't, you should simply see '0/10' in the hover text. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is my understanding.

    The bar is not greyed out but just 0/10 for a long time now and I do see googlebot crawling it so maybe is sandbox...I wish I know when it will get out of the sandbox, it is not fun playing in it and I think the site is really SEO(the best to my seo skill anyway). thank you.

    Hi Saidev,

    Good news that you're not greyed out. :) If you're looking to rise in the Google SERPs, I'd suggest you focus on getting as many backlinks from related, high-PR sites as you can. Off-page factors count a lot more than on-page factors in Google's ranking algorithms.
