    The answer is that you really need to realize that Google views every page of a Web site as an autonomous entity, so if you have pages that aren't updated for months at a time, they'll only be spidered infrequently, whereas pages that are updated every day or two (e.g., a weblog, etc) can end up being spidered every day.

    From an efficiency perspective, this makes a lot of sense: one of the goals of a spider is to visit as infrequently as possible while still ensuring that the search engine database has the most recent copies of all Web pages possible.

    What I suggest you need to do is figure out a way that when you update your site, something can change on the other pages on your site, esp. your home page. Then have a bit of patience and you'll find that all of the pages on your site are being spidered every day or two.

    Hope that helps clarify things.

    Sticking a sitemap on google analytics is the best way to get the big G spidering your sites, as well as a link or two from a googled site :)
