Hello to all, I have a website (www.decorisland.com) that has almost 200,000 pages, but only 30,000 of them are being indexed I would love to get your input to why this is? and if it's normal or not for large sites? my sitemap url's (in case you want to see them are) sitemap1.xml sitemap2.xml sitemap3.xml sitemap4.xml sitemap5.xml sitemap6.xml sitemap7.xml sitemap8.xml sitemap9.xml sitemap10.xml
its necessary to crawl allp ages for geting result so please make a only 1 sitemap.xml for all urls through any software also i am finding this types sitemap.xml genrator if u wil lget me also .
i will suggest will you that don't use a number of sitemaps. Just create a manual sitemap of your whole website in dreamwiever coz your site is large, don't use any software nor a trust. You will see a better result
There are numerous reasons as to why all of your pages are not being indexed. One might be PageRank, it appears as though PR will have an affect on how many pages are indexed. The higher your PR/Authority/Trust the better chance you have getting all of your pages indexed. What is the quality of these pages? Any duplications? Are these pages just slight variations of each other? 177k seems like an awful lot of pages.
