    Ive had my site for a month, and a week now. After 1 week it got indexed with the splash screen I had under images, and under web my homepage, and then a imagegallery I was working on.

    About two weeks ago I added in different stuff, totally removing splash screen and imagegallery, and added in a bunch of new stuff.

    A week and few days ago I added a sitemap, because my indexing still wasent updated. Still today, none of the urls on my site, or from sitemap will index.

    Whats going on?

    Just get a couple of good backlinks and your site will get indexed again. It's a new site, google will know it's to re-index only when they see a lot of people linking to the site.

    Its the age of your site. Because of spammers, google does not pay attention to new sites. Google goes something like this - "ok, you have a new site. I'll be back in a month or 2 to check on things."

    This is to stop spammers from putting up temporary sites and getting indexed quickly. Google will index your site. Then it might be back in a few weeks, maybe again in a few more weeks.

    As your site ages, the more time google spends there. By the time our site is 6+ months old, google is crawling your site all the time. When the site reaches 2+ years old, you can post something and in 10 - 20 minutes google will have it indexed. The older a site is, the more google trust it.

    Well, in the overview, links that i dont got up yet, but have links to, are showing up under the not found, so I know its crawling... But still does it need to be old just for indexing, or for crawling to?
