Google sitemaps says that it's got 24 pages from my sitemap and 3 of those are in its index, when I check to see what it's got in its index (because I thought it had nothing) - it has nothing. It must have index some page, but decided not to publish them yet. This is very interesting, watching what Google's doing in real-time (ish) and being directly involved. When I been involved in submitting other people's websites. it been a case of submnitting them, and then forgetting about them. It's much different when I'm directly involved and actually wanting to get some traffic, and wanting to get it quickly.

My steps so far have been:

• Submit it
• Create and register a sitemap

My next step wil  be to add a link from a site that's already in Google's index (with a modest PR of 3)
