Why's site not getting indexed? Shows 30,000-250,000 backlinks in Google

Folks my website has been up for 2 weeks, has been bookmarked at a dozen major socialbookmarking sites. But still has not been indexed. All my other previous sites have been indexed within 24 hrs, so I am a bit worried.

I would be very grateful, if any of you would be willing to look at my website [URL removed after issue resolved], and give any suggestions.

Another weird detail: If you check the no. of backlinks by typing "link:[removed].com -site:ex-[removed].com" in Google, it shows anywhere between 30,000-50,000 backlinks!!!

That's completely wrong! I can only wish I had that many backlinks ! If you click on any of those results, you will see that none of them actually point to my site. I am completely perplexed as to why is Google seeing my site this way. I am wondering whether this massive no. of backlinks erroneously seen by Google is why it's not indexing my site?

The correct no. of backlinks is around 30 as Yahoo site explorer shows. I got these by submitting articles to directories.

The domain was bought on Nov. 17.

Any tips, hints, ideas, fellow warriors? Has this happened to you before (Site not being indexed by Google after 2 weeks, despite being completely white hat) ?

Thanks for your help!

    1 simple trick you can do is:

    - Create a page (not main page, example: about us or using your blog), write a unique post related to your niche
    - Make sure you have a linkback to your main page by using anchor link
    - Submit it to Digg (the link of blog (unique post you just written)

    Just go to failblog.org and have some fun leaving comments for the funny pictures.

    Google happens to like this site, the backlinks show up really quick and this should do the trick of getting your site noticed.

    It's nofollow so there is no need to go nuts and spam the place to death.

      If it's nofollow, how does it get your site indexed?

    What has probably happened is that you have tangled with a "keyword" that has really got that many articles written about it due to the magic of making up, a ebook by Travis, which i presume that you are aware of hence the chosen url.
    give it time, google will start to learn to trust your content if it really is unique.
    I bought a domain yesterday on that exact niche to promote that exact ebook. so as you can see it is a little competitive.

    Thanks everyone for your responses!

    The site did get indexed today. I had already done the submission to Digg long back.

    I didn't do anything between my original post and now. So I am guessing Google was taking its own sweet time to index my site.

    Best,

    Bookmarking deep pages like said earlier seems to do the trick. Good tip.

    Agree with oscarkool, it is better for you to bookmark deep page rather than bookmark your main page. From that trick my site got indexed within minutes. But make sure you have a unique content with an anchor link pointing back to your main page there.

    well... these backlinks show up in my google webmaster tools so google does see them and unless I am mistaken, nofollow doesn't exactly mean 'no follow', you're not going to get and SE credit or PR benefits from that backlink but google still follows a nofollow link.

    and... on the sidebar, the recent comments widget, which does have your anchor text and link is a 'dofollow' backlink and it's site-wide so you're odds of getting noticed are fairly high.

    The site does receive a lot of comments so you're not going to remain on the recent comments list for very long so it's not something that is worth chasing just for a site-wide PR 7 backlink unless you want to post a new comment every few hours.

    It's a technique, like many others, takes less than 5 minutes and it's a PR 7 site that google crawls like crazy.

    Do you have duplicate content on your site?

      Nope. All rewritten, 'original' stuff. Anyway, the issue is resolved now, without any additional input from me.

      Thx!
