I have recently submitted my XML format sitemap having 18,062 URL but Webmaster only indexed 2,985, with NO ERRORS. I was just wondering what to do so Google can index all URL included in sitemap? or at least it should include 90% of URL's.
Well google normally does not index all the urls in the sitemap. But however the number of links indexed in yours is quite low. Give it time and maybe the number will increase withing some weeks.
I have 4 years old domain and since that google is not indexing all pages, so what i learn is google not index all pages ... for indexing all pages build quality backlinks for ur categories and homepage or sub pages which have quality content.
With regard to indexing of individual pages, google has the final say. There are certain pages that are difficult to be indexed by the google with whatever effort we take.
it may be doorways your pages or duplicay content so search engines don't cache. it is not means that sitemap will pressure to cache all webpage to search engine but sitemap help to easy read data.
same here, quite a few sites where the number of pages is X, and indexed urls is about 1/2 that. Some days it will be plus/minus a few. Some of these sites are new (less than 6 mos old) so I think I'm lucky some are indexed at all, but it still seems like it takes a while.
Make yoursite.com/sitemap.xml, yoursite.com/ror.xml and yoursite.com/robots.txt and upload. Your problem will be solved.
?? so i was getting wrong ! i thaught by submitting a site map the bot will follow the links to all your pages and index them all
sometimes, google index your page just for some day.. some times it is index your page for some week... i get the problem like this too.. any ideas to resolve this problem ? thanks
Google using bots to request url of site, so many site make it difficult to create sitemap of your site. Help Bots by submit manual on other site has high page rank as digitalpoint.com.
@lanclip thanks for your suggestion... i have do like your suggestion before... but it still need the Search Engine to process that
behind Google engage has a lot of other SE. you should create sitemap by soft. i have a tool can help you: http://www.ziddu.com/download/6960366/webcrawler.rar.html and configure robots.txt file to Bots of SE can auto submit. Good luck
