Hi there,
I have visited your site (well done, it looks great!) and I can find
no reason, technical or otherwise, for it not to be indexed. The good
news is that you have done nothing wrong, and your site will most
likely appear permanently when Google has its next major index update.
The cause of being indexed for just two days is Google's FreshBot.
There was a time when you just submitted your website's URL, waited a
month or two, it appeared and that was that. These days the process
can be more complicated, especially when it comes to Google.
Freshbot
--------
When you submit your URL to Google, some time in the next month or so
the Googlebot will pay your site a visit and index most or all of it.
When the entire main index is refreshed (used to be the first week of
each month, but it is going through an unpredictable phase at present)
your site should appear and stay there. Sometimes you have to wait
until the following main index refresh for it to appear.
Google also has Freshbot - it looks for websites which typically have
constantly changing content (like weblogs), and re-indexes them every
day or two. If you ever see any Google search results with a date
beside them, that is when Freshbot last visited them. Sometimes
Freshbot will unintentionally find other sites by following a link...
It appears that www.waterwijk.be was found by the FreshBot, and is now
going through an unstable period which often occurs to new sites found
by FreshBot. One of the most common queries I receive here (and
elsewhere) is why does my site appear, then disappear? The following
comes from GoogleGuy, a Google search engineer who often answers
queries posted at WebMasterWorld:
GoogleGuy: Everflux and Fresh Crawls
------------------------------------
If your site is new, or hasn't shown up in Google for long, it may be
because our "fresh crawl" (which runs each day) was finding your site
instead of our main crawl (which runs about once a month). Our "fresh
crawl" is a newer feature, and we're still experimenting with which
pages to crawl, how deeply to crawl, etc. We even reserve the right to
(gasp!) not do a fresh crawl on some days because we're doing tests or
reviewing new code. Someone wrote in recently and said "my site got in
Google three weeks ago, and you've dropped me four times!" Nope, it's
just that we don't always crawl the same pages in our fresh crawl, and
we don't always crawl to the same depth. As we do a full crawl of the
web, we find most of the sites from our fresh crawl and put them in
our regular index. My advice on our fresh crawl is to view it as a
nice "bonus" on top of Google's deep index. Users can always search
our full index, but sometimes we can serve up even fresher pages as an
extra nicety.
The rest of the discussion is at:

Basically, if your site is picked up by FreshBot one day, but not the
next, the site's listing reverts to its normal listing. If your site
didn't previously have a regular listing, it disappears. Here are some
more opinions at WebMasterWorld:
Google also has what we call the fresh-bot, also nicknamed "minty". It
crawls much more frequently, but not as deeply. It is used to update
pages in the index which change often. After a freshbot crawl you site
may appear for a few days with an updated listing, called a "fresh
listing". However, if the freshbot does not return within a few more
days, your "fresh listing" will disappear, and your listing will
revert to whatever it was during the previous deep-crawl, meaning the
one at least one month ago. If you have never had a "previous" deep
crawl, then your site may disappear. If the fresh bot returns to your
site, your fresh listing may re-appear. Therefore, during the first 30
to 59 days of a site's life, it may drop in and out of Google's
results page.

When we do a new fresh crawl, it currently replaces the last fresh
crawl. And again, we do experiments from time to time, so different
crawls may visit different pages.(GoogleGuy)

My site is new and isn't in the Main Index yet, but was in for a day,
due to fresh bot crawl 3 days ago. freshbot came back this morning
(whew), grabbed some pages, but I'm nowhere to be found... The point
is that pages found by freshbot have an unsure life in Google's index.

This is a huge subject, with thousands of people guessing at what is
going on, and rare happy instances of someone like GoogleGuy giving
semi-official answers.
