So there's such thing known as Google Sandbox, and this is related to the explosion of spam blogs in order to drive up the page rank. Google singlehandedly decides to puts certain sites in the Sandbox based on the length of the registration of the domain name, number of outgoing links, and some other factors, most of which only they know about.From the threads at WebmasterForum.com, it looks like it takes roughly 2-6 months to get out of the sandbox, in the proper index, and get a valid pagerank.
