Getting indexed problem for 3 months old site

    Our domain's age is pretty old (we own it for over 3 years), but it was always redirected to our ebay store. We have launched our main site and it has been exactly 3 months now.

    First google started indexing up to 20 pages, and it has deindexed some of the pages. Now, we have only 2 pages indexed, and it stays there. We have google sitemap, and it shows zero erros. We have done directory submissions, and we have some good backlinks (not very high PR). Yahoo shows 337 backlinks as of now.

    I'd really appreciate if somebody can take a look at our site, and let us know why we don't get indexed at google?

    Site is in the signature.

    thanks in advance

    You're probably just stuck in the google sandbox.. Give it some time and your site will show up.

    Look to your pages content. First, try to update the content from every page (not indexed). If it don't work, try to change the content.

    Some of your page may be in the supplemental index. Giving each page a unique meta description tag might help you fix this.

    Thanks for the comments so far. I have started updating the meta descriptions, and will finish all pages with unique meta keywords and meta description.

    About content, a few friends told me I need more content. But this is an online store, and many stores don't have more than 1-2 sentences of product description for each page. Can't google understand this is an online store and it doesn't need paragraphs of content for each product page?

    Google's bots won't see images and won't understand a site is a store unless it is indicated in the page's text content.

    Try updating your content of the deindexed pages on a daily basis also have a look at the titel and description tags and make sure each and every page has different tags.
