    Results 1 - 10 of about 8,500 from www.carwallpaper.pk. (0.02 seconds)

    That's not few... that's more than half. Just let the google bot do it's work... it might just be having issues going into certain pages.
    Have you checked your webmaster tools account? If not then do it so you'll know the problem. It might be your robots.txt?

    First thing, you should have a non-www -> www 301 redirect set up.

    Second, you got 333 pages in the main index and 8,500 pages indexed overall (don't forget to click on the "omitted results" link) - which isn't too shabby.

    If you want to do better, just spend more time link building.

    If you click on google page number 2...it will show you only 15 pages indexed. Showing number 8500 pages indexed but in real only 15 pages. Don't know maybe am wrong. Secondly i have checked in webmaster tools and there's no problem.

    Submit a sitemap to google webmaster tools to help index pages faster.

    Will.

    Just Google for [301 redirect www] or something along those lines. It's not hard.

    The reason is www and non-www are two different domains as far as Google is concerned, so if you link to both, you're splitting PageRank and hurting the indexability and ranking of the two versions.

    Don't worry, you got 8,500 pages in the index right now. The problem is you got similar meta descriptions for all the pages so Google is only showing a few URLs out of the 8,500 when you run a site: query.

    for the redirect ...

    edit your .ht access file and insert the following

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
    rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

    Most of your pages have the same meta tags. If you are generating the pages using PHP or similar scripts, you should try to generate unique metatags matching the content of your page. That would help your individual pages to rank better in search engines for long tail keywords.
