Is it normal to not show much indexing on your Wordpress blog?

    Ive been indexed by google for a year now, but when you check what is indexed it doesn't show anything on my webmaster tools. Yahoo only shows my main page and RSS feed. I get plenty of traffic from google and I have a PR2 but its wierd my wordpress blog (that google supposedly loves so much) doesn't show a bunch of indexed pages?

    Is there a dofollow link from your site's homepage to your blog? Have you set the Wordpress blog to notify Google? Is your robots.txt file properly configured so that it isn't excluding your blogs pages from being crawled and indexed. Check these things and search the forum or search google for more info on how to fix these issues

    It would only show information about the domain if you have added a sitemap, then it would display the number URLs in the sitemap and those indexed by it.

    I agree that submitting a sitemap (WP has a nice plugin tool to do it automatically for you) would be your best bet.

    If you want more of your site pages to get indexed, you need to build some backlinks. Try to get some quality and relevant backlinks for home page and internal pages, this will help to get more of your site pages to get indexed.
