    How old is your site? how many backlinks? did you check Google Sitemaps to ensure yourself that there isn't some sort of problem with indexing your site?

    Make sure your robots.txt is not blocking your subfolders or other pages of your site... and if you have submitted your site recently then hold down and wait for a couple of days :)

    You need backlinks into the sub pages on your site. Google sitemap in itself will not get your site indexed. This is often called the sandbox effect, do a search on google sandbox on this forum or on the web to find out about it

    Hi,
    Sandbox effect is one, a new site ranked well suddenly, the site is nowhere in the SERP. That is called sandbox effect. In my case, only one page got indexed?
    What to do? Please Help?

    Dude everyone above has been telling you what to do. You need more links. One link aint gonna cutt it, especially if that link is on a page that isn't getting cached very often. Go get in www.botw.org and get some links to your subpages. If you have an html site map get a few links to it.

    Blog about the site... mention sub pages in passing articles on your blog. That could help a lot.

    And maybe you can submit some of the inner pages to directories... a lot of them actually accept deep linking - although maybe not in same category.

    Be creative here, and take your time. Google (and the rest of the pack) will come around in their own good time.

    Maybe use specific sub pages in signature link at places like... well, i don't know... say, DP forum?

    The only thing you should be careful about is spamming too many links etc.

    Basically research your site niche and look to see if there are any quality links that you could obtain. This might involve posting intelligent comments on blogs within the same broad niche as your site - hoping the blog owner will take a look at your site and maybe blog about something on it.

    A couple of directory links may help you - however, check out the directory before submitting your site and ensure that it is indexed in google.

    Releasing an article with content related to your blog would generate some inbound links - normally having the main page + a subpage in the about author section so that links are not all pointing to the main page.

    Whichever method you use to gather links, always link with the same style (either www or non-www version). The same principle in all internal links - keep it the same structure for links and if you have a link to us page, then ensure it keeps to the same structure for links as well.
