    Google omitting results despite indexing all the pages

    Google is omitting results despite indexing all the pages because of the way it indexed the site which didn had any description tag and having unique titles for all the pages.

    and It gives the results like this

    about 8 out of 50 and the 8 look like this - excluding homepage.

    menu, cat 1, cat 2, cat 3, cat 4, sub cat 1, sub cat 2, sub cat 3... if the subcat 3 page is shown in the site: search.

    Down below these results, shows

    "we have omitted the results which seem similar to the above ones listed"

    Now I have made a unique description for each page (50 odd page site) to get rid of that kind of a display and when I checked with Yahoo, Yahoo showed the indication that it re - indexed some of the pages displaying the unique descriptions that I have put up few hours before.

    Google still did not re index with the new description that is on par with the page's content. I know it will take time.

    Live also shows the description that was written.

    The site's page rank is 3 and all page are indexed.

    My question to the Pro's here is that if the number of omitted results decrease and the unique descriptions show in the site: search results display, does it have any influence on the ranking and the traffic?


    Did anyone else had similar experience.

    Thanx,
    Ravi.

    Is it a dynamic site where the content is similar on every page? (Ie only an article or other piece of info is unique on each page)

    Varying descriptions only goes so far in getting pages out of the ommited box.

    It is a 50 odd pages website that is purely static and every page has unique content.

    Best thing to do is post yoru sepcific site in the "Website Review" section here as it is nearly impossible to guess.

    I suspect someone would find the issue fairly quickly

    It is not site specific, I have seen it for many websites,

    I just want to confirm whether it is a penalty or not.

    This is mainly because when I checked with a text browser, the menu(navigation links) text has come after the title tag text and when this text is only ten or 12 words, then Google is excluding the menu navigation links text and showing the few lines of first paragraph as the description.


    but if they are about 40 words, then Google is displaying the menu navigation links text.

    I have seen this for many websites when I did the site:search.

    It might help the ranking, but not directly. More likely, it will help each individual page's PageRank.
