    I had a question, when you submit your site to google, why does it only index the first page? Is it because you do not have a site map? I have noticed that I have to submit each of my pages separately in order to get them listed in the SEs.:confused:

    i think it may be that you do not have a sitemap, but I would contact Google just to be sure.

    Google will 'naturally' get around to crawling your other pages... eventually. One of the main benefits of using a sitemap is the speed at which your pages get picked up by Google.

    Why submit one URL at a time when you can submit just the one sitemap URL? Better yet, have your sitemap tool notify all of the search engines for you.

    Another major factor in how quickly and completely Google indexes your site is the number and quality of backlinks coming into your site.

    Put these two together and your site will get noticed (in it's entirety).

    The speed of your site being crawled. That is one of the things a sitemap does.

    Does it ensure that all site pages are indexed?

    Have you looked into google webmaster tools? you can change how fast google crawls and visits your site. It isn't a gurantee that they will do it. But there is an option to help you that way. Just my 2 cents;)

    I would suggest a couple of ways to help. You need to put a sitemap on you site. It will help your site get crawled better. It basically puts your whole site into a readable version for the robots to go through your information easier. When I put xml-sitemaps.com on my site, it increased my pages being indexed by google.
    You should also get an account with google webmaster tools. It is really handy to have. You can change how often google visits your site. you just need to remember that google might not follow your request. Worth doing if you really want to make sure your pages get indexed. It will even tell you what pages they are having problems with. Hope that helps:D

    All search engines crawling all pages. One of the main benefits of using a sitemap is the speed.
    Also many times especially if you use flash maybe exist links which are not detected or mentioned , with sitemap inform search engines about them

    Google will crawl your pages you just have to wait first. Sitemaps hasten the page indexing of your site. However, if you submit your sitemap don't expect that all your pages will be indexed in an hour or so. You will still be put under the crawling queue.
