I'm trying to get some ajax content on my main page indexed by google. I've implemented the #! url structure for that content and the corresponding piece on the server which renders what users see when passed the _escaped_fragment_ version of the urls. Ie, I followed the instructions here code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html
I submitted the new site.xml to google 2 days ago through their webmaster tools. It's showing up as submitted URLs: 10, 1 URLs in index. So I'm assuming that something is wrong with my set up as the #! urls don't seem to be indexed.

This is a snippet of my site.xml

<url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/</loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/#!/Bristol</loc>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/#!/Manchester</loc>
</url>


I don't want to just ask "What's wrong with this!?" so my best guess is I shouldn't be using the same url with and without the #! perhaps? or I need to put

<meta name="fragment" content="!">


in the page returned for those URLs? I didn't really follow what was being said on that bit of the instructions.
