Why are my pages falling out of google index?

I have a site with 23 pages total as of right now. At first google indexed 1. Then that number jumped to 9. Then about 10 minutes ago, it fell to 7... Why is this happening? I don't have a pagerank as my site is less than a month old, and im constantly adding new content and updating. Why is google booting my pages out of their index? Any insight on this would be deserving of a cupcake.

Cliffman, I would just relax and stop worrying about it. There are many datacenters and your pages will come and go until everything finally settles down. Things take time so you should focus on things that are within your control rather than worry about pages appearing and disappearing.

Not uncommon at all, especially if your site is new. Just keep building and things will stabilize.

Yeah, your site is still a newborn. LOL It could do this for several months.

My first website took 3 months to get out of the "sandbox". No worries

I experienced the same with my blog. It was indexed one day and then it just disappeared from the search results. As your write more content, and your site gets older you will stay in the search results. It will take time, so be patient.

is it what called sandbox?
is that all new sites have to go through this?

That is what people think, and all new sites usually go through this.
