I could not get my new site The PC Guru (http://www.the-pc-guru.com/) listed in Google despite the existence of backlinks and submitting several times a site index. It was in the other search engines, but not Google. Searching various forums I found that this was a common complaint. I could think of nothing that was wrong with my site, and became convinced that the domain must have been blacklisted as a result of the activities of the previous owners.
Eventually I stumbled across an article by Matt Cutts in his blog: Filing a Reinclusion Request (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/reinclusion-request-howto/) . Less than two weeks after following the advice in this article, and a day after receiving an email from Google saying that their techs were looking in to it, I have the index page of my site in Google's index, with a page rank of 1. Nothing else is there yet, but it's a start.
I hope that Matt's article will be useful to others who suffer the frustration of creating a site and having it ignored by Google.
