Pushing power with posts but they're not getting indexed !

    Hello, i built my site inside of a wordpress platform, built around 12 static pages, yet i wanted to add more content, both fresh and quickly.

    So i've started posting, the thing is, i can't seem to find them in the google index and they don't seem to be benefitting me in anyway, the traffic has not improved.

    Do i go back and create more static pages, or should i keep posting.

    As with marketing, do you believe posting is better than paging.

    Any help and advice would be appreciated.

    Is it also true that posts are held seperately and not considered part of your website by google, instead they are seen as an extension to it.

    How can this be of any use when trying to improve rankings with posting

    Have you wrote any articles and posted them on article sites? How long have you had the blog?

    Yes i have almost 70 articles in e zine, not doing much really, as for my website, it is 3 months old. Was wondering how powerful posting can be, what can it do for rankings and what is the most effective way to use posts.

    I've been told that proper traffic shows up after the probationary period of patience, around one year.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

    If i'm writing four large optimised posts every day, how will this benefit my site.

    That is my question, just can't find the posts in googles index

    Hey james, I went to your website but I wasn't able to find this content you are talking about that you have written. Perhaps this is the problem for Google too?

    Are you attempting a sarcastic punch, what are you talking about, can't find the content. I suggest if you are not willing to answer my post question, don't bother at all.

    No, it was serious. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic at all. You placed posts on your bookies website, right? I went to the website, the only articles I see are the ones you have posted on ezinearticles, not on your website. Are these the ones you are saying aren't being indexed? Otherwise, if you have blog posts on that site, I'm not seeing them anywhere. Perhaps link me to one of your posts you are referring to that is not indexed?

    Ok sorry for any misunderstanding, in the left hand menu, beneath the banner, you will see five categories, within them are lots and lots of posts.

    Please tell me you can see them, i can.

    Sorry, yes, I can see them. I am seeing that a lot of your content is indexed though. Perhaps what will ensure indexing is submitting a sitemap of your website's content to Google Webmaster. Also, make sure you have at least a few backlinks to each post, this is probably the fastest and easiest way to get these pages to rank a little bit better for longtail keywords.

    Internal linking will benefit you as well in terms of indexing, so yes, do some of that.

    One more question. You say the site itself is 3 months old, but how old are the pages that you have added? The last cache of your site seems to be on July 24, so did you add your pages before or after that?

    And as suggested, use a sitemap. I use the WP plugin Google XML Sitemaps.

    Are you adding these articles as posts or pages in WP? If they are pages, you might want to use the RSS Includes Pages plugin, since by default WP doesn't include your pages in your feed. This MAY help in getting more links back to your site.
