pages not indexing

I have a wordpress site. It's been lying dormant for about a year with no content on it except for a "test post".

recently updated it (5th of march) with a few new article posts. Problem is google hasn't indexed the new posts yet (10 days now). I submitted it to google webmaster tools thinking that might help but still nothing.

This is the longest I've waited for a site to be indexed before. Usually takes a day or two at the most.

Could it be because it's been lying dormant for so long, google just thinks it's dead?

I've posted links on twitter/facebook but that hasn't helped either.

    Did you use the 'Fetch as Google' function in GWT rather than just adding it to your Dashboard
    It's under Crawl> Fetch
    Bung in all you URLs and fetch each one

    It's very likely the bots stopped coming due to inactivity, you will have to train them again by posting some regular content.

      Thanks. I've just given this a go. Will keep an eye on it for the next few days. Cheers

        Good show, and standby, try the 'site:' operator on your URL in morning.
