Ok another question..thanks in advance by the way. Ok I have a new site being built right now.. but I keep reading about content content.. this is a teensite that I have started. I want google to accept it but I dont think I will have 10 pages just yet.. proably 4 at this point.. will they not except it with 4 pages? or do I need to think of more things to put on my site.. any ideas would be helpful.
Doesn't matter how many pages you have. Google will still accept your site unless it looks like it is under construction and unfinished.
But when you have more pages age frequently updated content (which = more pages ) then google will notice you more and give you better ranks, which means more traffic.
Just link to your site in your signature and it will be in "the" Google's index in no time. If you submit it using their submission form, it may take longer. So linking trough your signature on this forum will be much faster.

Google has a new section of there site called "webmaster tools", just search that term in google and it will be the first link on the page. It has many tools there to submit your site and track its listings and how it is being found in searches and more.
Its free and if you checkout the sitemap thread here at website babble you can adjust which pages are indexed if that is what you were refering to with the 10 page 4 page thing, you can stop it from indexing pages that are not complete.
However as a rule of thumb you should really not upload a page to the server until it is complete and this would also aleviate this problem.
Being listed in Google is different than being found. It can be hard for someone to find your site in the search results if there are many other sites similar to your niche.
The more pages you have the better chance you also have of being found...at least that's what I found out.
I regularily get visitors from Google and it appears that the more content I have the more visitors I get.
A couple days ago I mentioned this elsewhere but it went off the main screen in just a few minutes so not too many people saw it.
Someone posted, I wish I knew who but I haven't found their post yet to thank them personally, that using hyphens got individual words indexed by Google. As a result I purchased a hyphenated version of a site I have up just working on. I have only about ten pages up (no obvious construction signs or anything though, of course).
The site domain name includes three words, including two of the most used words on the internet, in a combined form. In just a couple weeks after buying and redirecting the hyphenated version my site has jumped to page one number nine on Google when I enter a search with just those two common words!
This has made me a believer in hyphens because of there is little else I can think of that boosted my site to where it is. (I got 18,100,000 returns on the search so ending up on page one isn't bad.)
For the price of an extra domain name it isn't a bad idea to try.
It's me again with another ?
