Hey guys,

Google has been crawling my site for several weeks now (4+). The bot shows up in my logs about once every 2-3 days and crawls about ~150 pages (roughly half of my site). Although, i can't find my site anywhere on Google. Is this just a waiting game or should i be worrying that there's something wrong?

Thanks,

- RJ

When was the first crawl?

Can you provide us with a link to your site?

your site has been indexed please go here to check for yourself.

The reason that you cant find yourself on google is that you need to get lots of incoming links.

Any idea why Google wouldn't show a description for us? I notice other companies like http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=www.msn.com have a description. Likely coming from their Meta-Description.

Because your site is new, not cached and still in the analysis stages

The one thing this job needs is patience, lots and lots of patience.
