    Hi Guys

    I have recently launched www.eastrenfrewshireonline.com (about 3 weeks ago). Before the site launched there was a holding page which is still being displayed in Googles cache of the site.

    I have submitted a sitemap, and verified the site in webmaster tools. The log files show that google is indexing the sitemap but not any other pages. However in webmaster tools there are results under top search queries.

    Can anyone give me some advice on getting Google to re-cache the new homepage of the site and also why would it only be indexing the sitemap?

    Thanks in advance
    Leigh

    Hi Loco - Thanks for the response. I thought that this may be the case but I wanted to double check, I don't want to be sitting in the same position in 6 months time!

    Get more links. Make a new Sitemap, and that should do it !
