I don't think that's it. I've started blogs that ended up sitting for months without posts as I got sidetracked: their home pages were indexed within days of launch, with no inbounds and no site activity.
Besides, this site has a fair amount of inbounds. Check it out on Yahoo and MSN, who indexed it within days, like every other blog.
The inbounds don't determine WHETHER you'll be indexed, they determine how well you'll be indexed. And again, it's had PR4 for over a month, so why does it have decent
PR if it's banned from the index?
And I do think this one is banned, and I can't figure out why, or whether I should just hang in there, or what.
