Google Index
I am just looking at Google Webmaster Tool, and I am not sure should I panic or this is a completely normal situation. I have almost two months old site and there are 42 URL's submitted, but Google indexed just 18 of them. Is there anything I can do to help or I can just wait Goolge to index the rest of URL's?

Hey Igor if that happen to me, I would run a fetch on the ones that didn't get indexed in google. Once you run a fetch they should get indexed. This is something you should learn how to do. Here is a blog that explains how to do it from Robert. Wish you the best. What does “Fetch as Google” Mean in Google Webmaster Tools?
For some people it can take up to a few minutes others a day. It just depends. The way to check if your blog or post got indexed, just type in your whole keyword, you may even want to type in your site name along with the keyword. If Google show your site with the keyword, then it's indexed.
I also make it a habit to run a fetch after I publish my blogs or pages. This way I know it's indexed. Lol Another good side to this is that your Letting google know you have fresh content and it will get indexed a lot faster when you run a fetch. :) Hope I was helpful.
Hey Igor, if you want to see what got indexed type in site: and your site name so it would look like this site:yoursitename.com
This way you can figure out what got indexed and what hasn't. This is a lot easier then typing in each keyword. I just remembered this. Hope I caught you in time. Lol :)
Igor.to know which sites are indexed.Here is a simple method.type your site name with " yoursitename.whatever"without http: in Google search.Appears means indexed. if not , means not yet.
I have a new moment :-) When I am checking with site:http://mydomain.com I see that all my url's are indexed, but in GWT the number of indexed against submitted is still low...
This is my opinion Igor, your site is still young and being that all your pages and posts are indexed, I would just wait and see. I personally wouldn't worry too much about it. This is again my opinion. Someone else may have another one. I hope I was helpful to you. :)
Are you using sitemaps? or submitting them one by one? Also, if they haven't been indexed yet at that point, you need to go over your keywords and make sure they are matching the articles. Adjust, and see what happens in another week
Just one update: When I am looking on sitemap it says 42URL's submitted, 18 indexed, but when I check Google index in GWT there are 25 URL's indexed?
No, once the Sitemap is linked it will update Google, anytime you post a new article. -- Are you 100% sure the keywords are good per article? There is no reason Google wouldn't index it after 2 months. Unless it was copied material.. Or you site got sandbagged.. which I don't think is the case as you do have some indexed. What about comments? do the articles that aren't indexed have any comments yet? or any interaction at all? There are a lot of factors that come into play when you try to get a post indexed.
Hi John, thank you for replay, I submitted sitemap when I start the site, should sitemap need to be regularly resubmitted? Keywords for each article are ok, I did a deep research on them.
The content is unique, I have over 200 comments in total, I am really starting to panic. I am not sure, but I think that I had more indexed URL's before WordPress update. Could that be a reason?
Hmm, I'm really not sure. I've never had any issues with getting my stuff indexed. With all the info you provided me with, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be indexed. You have good strong quality articles, with comments, and keywords. Mind linking your site, or a few of the urls that aren't indexed? Let me take a look at them
