Hi, I have a custom forum that is like this: viewtopic.php?topic=91 If I link this to digg or on another website, then google knows about it and it's indexed in google. But what about the rest of my topics? viewtopic.php?topic=90..89..88 I can't digg every article right? How will google index all of those? They're all dynamic btw
google and all other SE's only can find what site-owner promotes. good web design always includes to make sure all your pages are linked from one or better several places from within your own site as well as from other sites, blogs, SE, directories. while Google is smart and may sometimes index pages that have ONLY adsense ( I have seen directly such cases where adsense media bot was connected to regular googlebot !!) Google in general is NO clairvoyant SE and depends on site-owner's help to find all pages. at the VERY minimum you would need a sitemap updated regularly to submit all individual pages to Google. in addition a HTML site map may help ... however a properly structured URL system across all dynamic pages should be default.
Yes, your sites need to be linked somehow. I have a 2 year old personal site that Google does not even know about. This is why you should have a 'starting page' that link more and more pages. In the example you gave, (a forum I believe), you would have the forum index that would then link to sub-forums who in turn would link to all the various posts/topics. So what you need to do is get the main page, (the index of the forum), well indexed/linked and Google will slowly find all the various topics. This very forum is a good example, because http://forums.digitalpoint.com is well ranked/linked almost all the threads are indexed by Google within days, (if not hours). So make sure you can get to 'viewtopic.php?topic=90...1000' from the front page and get that indexed. Google will find it in time. FFMG
if the other links have a link somewhere from the 1 page that does have a link to it then it will work. the other option is to add a digg submit button to all your threads and allow your members to submit them to digg for you
It does not matter, if they are linked Google will find them. They have been doing it for some time, they are quite good at it This is why most good sites will alway offer you links like 'random articles', 'see also' or 'latest posts' and so on. Anything to links pages to each others. As long as the links are not hidden or anything funny like that the spiders will find them. FFMG
It's been almost 3-4 weeks, and Google still hasn't found my page www.skoogo.com is the front page www.skoogo.com/misc.php?tour is the "tour page" that is linked on the front page I checked it here: http://www.google.com/search?q=site...rg.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=7KK&start=0&sa=N Why won't google find this page for me? (and other pages) Do I need more visitors/more time?
Does anything, (apart from this thread), link to www.skoogo.com/misc.php?tour? Because Google has the home page, (since the 27th of Desc), http://www.google.com/search?q=skoogo, but not the tour page itself. BTW, your front page has no links to sub topics, why did you remove them? But the sad truth is that can take up to 6 months for Google to spider your site properly, so if you make any changes think carefully of the repercussions. Think now if you want to keep Dynamic links for example. FFMG
