how old is ur site? usually G indexes sites within a week ... but u must have at least one site linking to ur site to get indexed soon ..
Do you think I know? Do you think anyone knows? No-one knows. The answer is, if you get high profile / high PR links to your sites, you are likely to get indexed the day after you get them. But being indexed and ranked well are two different things.
Would the library have half-finished books to read? With random pages missing whilst no-one knows where the author is credible? Finish it first, then wonder when Google will index you.
No one wants to go to a site where it has links to pages that don't exist. I would spend more time completing the site with original content (some duplicate content and affiliate sites will never get indexed), but in the future, don't enter in urls to non-existent pages because that just generates a 404 error. Just don't make the links active.
No one knows exactly. But why are you so worried about your site NOT being in G when the site isn't even complete yet? Don't worry about it.
thanks jewel - Its a shop you see and I thought that I might as well get on Google and then improve my pages and so on, you know?
It's up to you. Google will certainly index single page sites, but those non-existent pages give 404 errors which tell the google bot your site is having problems. That isn't going to help you get indexed. It would be better just to put up a home page with no links or at least put a blank page so it doesn't generate an error. Google sandboxes new sites, so even if they were to indexed the site, you aren't likely to get a single visitor sent from google for at least 3 months - and after that depends on your backlink building. There are many sites more than a year old which don't receive any traffic from google. It takes a lot of work to get a site to rank well in google for anything competitive. There are thousands of sites trying to get in the top ten. The first 10 results are visited 78% more often than sites listed 11th through 30th - and most users don't go past that.
