Did you submit it to the search engines? You need to do that for the search engines will take forever to pick it up...

This page at Google gives some insight in how they rank pages.

The key factors are who links to you and the actual text content of your site. If your site is primarily flash based, in order to get listed and ranked on Google you'll need some topic relevant text on your index page.
