As schoppy said, it can take some months to be indexed by the search engines. There are a few things that can be done to speed it up a little. The mods may have already done this, but if not it's worth a try.
Go to
www.google.com/addurl.html and submit the site to Google. They give no guarantee this will help, but it can help the site be recognized if it hasn't been yet.
There are more suggestions at:
www.google.com/webmasters/ If you are having difficulty getting listed in the Google index, you may want to consider submitting your site to Yahoo! or Netscape. You can submit to Yahoo! by visiting
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/ . You can submit your site to Netscape's Open Directory Project (DMOZ) by visiting
www.dmoz.org . Once your site is included in either of these directories, Google will often index your site within six to eight weeks.
The key thing is that the site is linked to from similar sites. Do some of the big diaper sites like DiaperPin or BornToLove have "Links" pages? If so the Mods could suggest reciprocal links between this site and theirs.
Having links to diaper manufacturer sites would help as well, even though these sites won't link here. Linking to Depend.com, Poise.com, Attends, Tranquility, etc. can raise the Google pagerank by helping the engine understand where incontinentsupport fits in. The "quality" of the links matters more than "quantity." Linking to everything diaper under the sun could actually lower the pagerank.
