Google only crawls .com/ and .com/index.php ...?

    My site has many, many sections of the site that is easily crawlable. Each page pretty much has different meta data, titles, descriptions, keywords, content, etc. When I use site:mywebsite.com it only shows listings for www.mywebsite.com/, mywebsite.com/, www.mywebsite.com/index.php and mywebsite.com/index.php

    I do have all of my files setup to run through a main index.php file but absolutely nothing makes any mention to that on the actual site because I use htaccess to redirect files like "page-profile.php?id=23095" that goes to index.php?cmd=profile&id=23095. There are no links on my site that link to /index.php. Could this be a problem that I can fix?

    MSN and Yahoo search engines work perfectly with my site, but Google has indexed my site numerous times with absolutely no change to search results when I use the site: feature.

    My site: ProfileGoodies.com

    I've only taken a 3 second drive by. What I'm seeing is hardly any content (or none). And the pages load excrutiatingly slowly. For some reason the google analytics and ypn stuff aren't loading promptly. I bet it's 10-15 seconds for me to see the page.

    I checked the page headers, those seemed fine.

    Without looking further I'd say you need:
    - more content
    - faster load times - a LOT faster
    - cleaner/leaner html

    There could be another specific problem, but I'm wondering if the site hasn't gone all supplmental and had all the pages deleted (which the above stuff might help).

    my 2 cents anyway :).

    Google shows 4 pages out of a total of 5810, so they must be indexed somewhere. Search for "allinurl:profilegoodies.com" and you'll see a whole bunch of forum pages. You might just have to wait a while for the indexes to catch up.

    A couple tips for you:
    - Add an ordinary HTML Site Map, and maybe a Google Sitemap too.
    - Validate your HTML code, and fix any errors that are found.

    Cheers, Cryo.
