Try sharing your site on Google+, and other social networks.

Having a Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools accounts can help you monitor what phrases your site is ranking for...meaning your site is indexed.

Will is right, use webmaster tools to verify your site and submit your sitemaps.  Use G+ to share new content you publish moving forward and monitor indexation health in google webmaster tools.

Did you submit an xml sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools?

This alerts Google that your site has changed drastically and that they should crawl it and index the new content.

You should also submit a sitemap to any other search engine you want to rank in. Yes the search engines "should" find your site eventually; however, this gives them a heads-up.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the help so far i did the webmaster tools and on the sitemap bit i got an error

can you help please thanks again donal

We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

General HTTP error: 404 not foundSitemap: www.thebookshop.ie/system/feeds/sitemapHTTP Error: 404

The url for your sitemap is 404.

Your sitemap URL should be:  http://www.thebookshop.ie/system/feeds/sitemap.xml

Try updating to that and see if WMT accepts it.
