Any suggestion why google ignore the forum pages?

whats the url.

 

http://motorcycle-photos.com/forum

soorry....

 

Looks ok to me, there is no session in the url which could prevent google from crawling your forum. In fact, when I look at the pagerank indicator all forum threads I looked at have a white bar which means google crawled the page.

Why do you think Google has problems crawling the forum?

 

Tnx Lisper,

Google take just the forum home page, how i know?, iam searching title,content from any other forum thread with exactly ("search words") and get no results.

 

If you have problems getting indexed while your site is crawled well you need more incoming links.

 

You meen exchange links...?

 

I did not mean that perse but it's a method to get more links yes.

 

I dont use the robots.txt or sitemap, any one think it can help?

 

there's nothing wrong on trying the sitemap..just observe the changes for a couple of weeks..

 

None of the forum pages have been spidered I just checked. This is what the spiders are seeing

I would suggest you get some links directly to the forum index page. although I have not

 

How i know that google dont take the pages under the url/folder of the forum:

inurl:motorcycle-photos.com/forum - return 1 page [the forum home page]

for the motorcycle-photos.com home page returna 5500 pages

 

Old Welsh Guy :

1. This crawler result is over 1 month old of the home page,
2. There is on the buttom 10 last threads links and on the top link to the main forum page (in all site pages).

 

Not sure what your saying with your first point (sorry).

I have just taken another look and first off you have canonical issues, you need to set up a 301 redirect from the www. to the non www. version of your site (or vice versa if that is where your links are going.) There is no cash for the www. version, but cache for the version you just showed me.

Secondly Google is treating your pages as not important as they are all bar a handful moved to the suplimental index. My guess is that it is because the content on the pages is too similar. Links from suplimental pages appear to not be given much weight, so again I suggest you get some links to the forum from outside of your own site.

I would fix the canonical issue ASAP though with that 301 if I were you.

 

Old Welsh Guy, Thanks again.

I did the redirection

If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME").ToLower, "www") Then
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader("Location", "http://motorcycle-photos.com/")
End If

 

Ok. Thanks for the help...
