    Hi guys,

    my website www.bingoreviews.net has been online now for months and still has not been cached by Google. I don't think it is sandboxed and and am concerned that the coding behind the site is confusing G. If you could take a quick look and tell me what you think it would be very much appreciated!

    Your search - site:www.bingoreviews.net - did not match any documents

    You have 41 links according to yahoo. How new are those links? My guess is that you need more better links.

    If you need help getting links, see my sig

    I highly doubt it has anything to do with the number of backlinks. The site should be indexed - it has been online for three months and has a number of good backlinks. I bought the domain on Sedo and am a bit concerned that it has previous G penalizations although I have been told that the coding of the site that is up is not very good. I am wondering whether it is because of this.

    A lot of html errors surely might cause problems getting your pages indexed. Try to fix your code and get it validated. Other than that I suggest you to check the stats of your server if the search engines are crawling and what server respond codes are responded. Also make sure your robots.txt will not prevent pages to be crawled and indexed. Also check webmaster tools for any crawl errors and make sure to set up a site map that you list in your robots.txt file if you haven't done so yet. Usually it doesn't take long for a site to get indexed and crawled on a regular basis, especially if you have some quality backlinks.
    Good luck
