I got 3 websites that didn't got indexed and they are like 1 month old...
Could it be the host provider?
 
You might be blocking the search engines in the robots.txt file
 
have you checked the history of these sites before buying? Could they be blacklisted/penalized?
 
I haven't touched anything... robots.txt or anything else. Just installed wordpress added an article and done.
And the sites don't have any history, they are completely new!
 
wp? make sure you check the box located in your dashboard that says something about a allowing search engines to crawl your site and index you.

Yep, look in to it. Also make sure your content is unique (check copyscape) because copy content struggling on google. Install the google sitemap plugin, it'll auto generate xml sitemap and auto submit it to google, yahoo and bing. Also manually ping your blog via pingfarm.
 
Did you try to enforce google crawlers ? You can do this with webmaster tools..
 
Some Wordpress themes are set to no index by default. Check the privacy settings to make sure.

Also, some sites can take weeks to get indexed

Or it could be indexed but not ranking yet

Could also be previously penalized. You could file for reconsideration to see if there is a penalty but don't do it if you have built a lot of links to the site.
