Do you think this is normal?

    My home page got hits much less than the middle pages, well I do promote the middle pages these lately, but I'm just wondering if this is ok? :)

    Sorry, I'm not expert in marketing, I do programming more..

    It usually means that search engines are picking up your "middle pages" as they have more content and thus, are ranking higher. Having a quick look at your website it seems to entirely be a forum, so naturally your users would want to jump straight to the main forum and skip the home page "portal".

    Apologies if that didn't make much sense. :)

    As far as I know Google is constantly updating. It all depends on how many links are pointing towards your site. Your site has been listed though, you're #1 for the term programmerstalk.

    Give it a little more time. The spiders will pick them all up soon enough. :)

    Search listings are updated on a daily basis; however forums usually are harder to spider than blogs and static websites, so you might not see a new thread getting picked up google in a day or two, btw have you submitted a sitemap of your site?
