Hi, We have a dynamic website and I'm not sure how to interpret this indexing behavior on Google. For example when looking at our red widget pages this is the structure and the indexed pages: widget.com/redwidget/ <-- not cached or indexed no PR widget.com/redwidget/index.php <-- not cached or indexed no PR widget.com/redwidget/index.php?widgetID=2360 <-- not cached or indexed or PR widget.com/redwidget/?widgetID=2360 <-- CACHED/INDEXED & PR Why can it be that the top three pages are not indexed while the last one is in fact indexed? The bizarre thing is for our blue widget site the indexing works for the mod-rewrite URL: widget.com/bluewidget/ <-- Cached/Indexed & PR Is there a problem with the site in which the bot can read some pages but not the others? Why would a dynamic page be indexed while the direct page (index.php) is not indexed? Did Google maybe remove some pages because of duplicate content on the index.php page and the dynamic page? Thanks in advance for any help with this, - B
Questions: Do all four of those URLs have the same content? Which URL is linked to from the site navigation? Is the URL with PR linked to from any external sources?
is index.php your homepage ? There is annectodal knowledge that SEs are not happy with 'active' homepages like the above poster suggests, perhaps there is an inbound link to the page thats indexed an has PR But, its a concern if your homepage is not indexed
How come the homepage is not indexed and how long this happened? Do you have a link to the homepage in the page already indexed? Maybe some higher PR page has a link to your indexed page. Just keep getting inbound links, google will index your website.
