I don't understand why Google doesn't index some of my sites. I know that these were probably some old deindexed domains that I bought, but I've uploaded a lot of new, original content and built some decent links. Even added them to webmaster tools to get them indexed fast, still nothing. Is it possible that Google will never index these sites due to something the previous owners of the domains could have done in the past? Right now I don't even care about ranking, would make my day just to see them indexed. It's been a few weeks already.
Syda, Based on my experience indexing generally takes about 6 to 8 weeks. Please confirm you have fetched by google. Also, please confirm it has been much longer than 8 weeks since your fetched by google @ google webmaster tools.
Thanks for your thoughts. I have done over 50 sites in the past few months and all have been indexed quickly, but these 4 sites, which were actually some of the first ones I did, are still not. So I thought there must be a problem with the domains past. I have submit sitemap, fetched as google and all that.... Guess I'll just wait some more.

You need to create Sitemap.xml for your website & submit it in Google webmaster Tool for regular indexing of your website.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I have already submit my sitemaps and fetched as Google, these are the first things I do when trying to index a site. Even used a paid service instantindexer, still no luck. But I'm a patient girl, hopefully they will get indexed before the domain needs renewal
What are the sites? Have you done this search: site:yoursite.com in Google? If you can see results for the site, its Google indexed.
Did your submit your sitemap to Google? Not really sure if pinging it after that would work, but.. According to me, continue with your daily routine, Google will visit your website soon for sure!
To say the truth, indexing could happen in just few days. It depends on too many factors to find the exact date, you just need to wait and check daily.
Sounds to me like the domain(s) have become associated with something dodgy (like say Spamming for example) and so you may have your work cut out trying to fix this. Imagine if the problem is something off site you can't fix; that could mean you are just flogging a dead horse no matter what you do...
That's what I'm starting to think is going on. So you think chances are these sites will never get indexed?
Sounds like you bought a domain that got slapped with a manual penalty and deindexed. Was probably part of a (PBN). What did the previous backlink profile look like before you bought it? May have to clean up the spammy backlinks first and ask for re-inclusion.
Do you have these sites in Google WMT's? Any manual penalties? I suspect you have "pure spam" manual penalty on them, as they are the exact sort of sites that get those sorts of penalties. If you haven't, then you will when the sites get flagged by Google!
i am facing the same problem while i have shifted my site to other server and when i crawl the page it says temperately unreachable how can i resolve it.
