I know I've read a lot on the WF lately about things shaking up on Google, but I don't think I've seen this particular strangeness mentioned. If I've missed it somewhere, please forgive me and point me to the correct thread.

I have a site that's been live for most of February. I've listed it in my Google Webmaster Tools account, submitted a sitemap, done several articles, a Squidoo lens, a Hubpage, a Weebly page, and lots of social bookmarking, all pointing to various pages on the main site. I started to see some traffic from Google searches a couple of weeks ago.

Here's the strange part... The "Overview" page in Webmaster Tools is telling me "No pages from your site are currently included in Google's index." Also, a Google search for site:mydomain.com turns up nothing. HOWEVER, if I do a Google search on the keywords I've been targeting, my site clearly shows up on the first page of results. It also shows up in the results for a couple other keyword phrases I've been working on.

Has anyone else ever encountered anything like this? I've been trying to wait and see, but like I said, it's been a couple of weeks now, and I'm still getting the same results. I guess the important thing is that I AM getting Google traffic, I just haven't had anything like this happen before.

Weird...

    I've seen this happen before with new sites. It should become consistent in the index in a few weeks.
