Google has been driving me insane lately. For several months now only my main page (index.php) has been indexed, my stats tell me google is crawling my site a lot(this month alone I've gotten 1700 hits from the googlebot), and I've seen them go deep in my sitemap area (unresponsive url at a deep level). I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, I have not intentionally made any ill seen attempt at increasing my SERP, it might be the static links instead of dynamic links. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.google.dk/search?q=site:www.romulation.net
It's been up a couple months? I'd say you need higher quality backlinks. Buy a PR4+ and see if that helps...
get more links, do more link building, a total of 700 plus is so slow for two months. your site looks not well optimized and look spammy.
Care to elaborate on that? How does it look spammy? Link building is something I've begun although related sites are limited. The last month have been dedicated to programming new features for the site. A couple of months was definitly badly formulated on my part, it's more like 1½ month, the url itself though was first indexed a couple of years ago and have several back links from back then, leading to 404 pages though, I've tried catching as many of them as possible and doing 301 redirects to the main index.
google has done the same to me for a couple of sites. The only thing you can do is keep building backlinks and submit your sitemap. then pray
You mentioned sitemap, but do you have a google xml sitemap? Also set up your internal site links properly - ie use "breadcrumbs" to link to and from each page.
yes I use a google XML sitemap, I need to get a program that will autogenerate one though, as mine is really limited right now. I'll look into the breadcrumbs patteren, the directory / code structure really isn't idea for this though as I don't keep the category structure in a database but as a file structure, thereby making it harder to figure out which category is the parent. I'll find a work around though. Thanks!
What do your other file names look like? If you have any page like somepage.php?id=blah Google will skip right over it (because of id). Also if you have pages like www.mysite.com/article.php?article_id=123 it would be better if you do some mod rewriting to make them look like www.mysite.com/name-of-the-article
Even if you have to hardcode the breadcrumbs, directory structure wouldnt matter. Alot of work for a big site, but still beneficial i think.
Submit to directories to start getting easy backlinks, and build popularity via blogs, etc. Do not spam, though!
