    So, the website is in my signature. All my blog posts are interlinked through numerous ways, I think my theme has a very good link structure, but google still doesn't index all of my posts... shouldn't internal link structure, pr 4, and couple good back links be enough to get my blog indexed completely?

    Lets be honest (if you are referring to the digital photography blog) there is not much to be indexed, only images. Search engines do love some content, and in-content interlinking would be the best way to go, or you can try and optimize your images for "Google Images".

    I understand that, but images is a content too. I tried to optimize site for google, I've alt tags and comprehensive descriptions for most of my images. I get around 5K hits from google images.

    Have you enabled enhanced image search in webmaster tools? Also do you have a sitemap?

    Do you have a search engine sitemap (xml?) - that should get the entire site indexed.

    There's no way to "optimize" image-based pages for Google general search. If you just look at the code (what Googlebot reads) there's only a bunch of similar pages with different titles and tags. It could be great photos, it could be spam... how could Google know? it doesn't "see" the images...

    The first step would be adding unique content for each photo (a long-enough description). I'm guessing posts with actual content are ranking better than those with just a picture.

    Really images "don't" count as content. Most of your pages are almost identical besides the fact they have a different image displayed. You need to start adding content descriptions to the image; maybe atleast 1 paragraph. This should be that hard to do and bet you'll notice results.

    Definately Steve along with the fact that his images themselves should be optimized.

    Now, I said paragraph not sentance. :)

    I've read your posts and threads; i'm sure you can manage to make one paragraph per picture AND properly inter-link other posts via that content.

    I suggest you build some more back links, I checked in iwebtool.com, and it showed only 6 back links.
