Indexing issues

I did, pointed a few more social signals at the site tonight too :idea:

May I know how many social signals did you send? :D
I usually send about 10-15 daily for 2-3 weeks, that usually gets things indexed.
 
Alright, so I finally got my site indexed today, but only 5 pages. I went out to eat, came back to see if the rest had been indexed, and now none of them are indexed! I literally only have a few backlinks pointed to this site, I think 3 twitter tweets, a few social shares and bookmarks, and one youtube video. Any explanation why a site might be indexed and then de-indexed in the same day???

You have a new site has has 0 authority. When Google comes it weighs the value of what it sees (5 pages of good content) versus the perceived quality of the site (very low). Then it chooses what is valuable enough to index.

Building backlinks to your site or even adding your G+ authorship will increase the strength of the site and then lead to more pages being added to the index. This will help as you add more pages/products to the site as well.

Note that I'm assuming you have standard page interlinking/navigation and your robots.txt is ok based upon what you've already said.
