For any of you with new sites, they are probably in the Google Sandbox. That will limit the site's ability to rank well for competitive search phrases for probably 5 to 8 months, and possibly longer for the most competitive search phrases.
A Google rep at the recent SES conference indicated that the Sandbox is triggered by certain activities. He didn't elaborate on that, but aggressive link building with a new site is believed to be the trigger.
