Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone can help. I have a site with 178 subpages. Only 13 are showing up in google though. I have quite a few backlinks for a few subpages but they're still not showing up. The subpages were built about 4-5 mths ago and I started building backlinks about 1-2 mth ago. I generated an xml from www.auditmypc.com. The XML caught all of my subpages without any problems. I've been updating it and resubmitting them to google every so often when new pages or content is developed. In google webmaster tools, it shows: Sitemaps Filename Status Indexed URLs sitemap.xml OK 28 robots.txt file Downloaded Status robots.txt 6 minutes ago 200 (Success) Filename Status Format Downloaded URLs submitted Indexed URLs sitemap.xml OK Sitemap Jan 6, 2010 178 28 So it shows 178 submitted but why are 28 indexed? In google, when I do site:domain, I only get 13 links. What do you all suggest I do to get the rest indexed? What am I doing wrong? Thanks
It is not necessary that all the pages will be indexed if you submit the XML sitemap. There are many deciding factors that affect the number of pages getting indexed by search engines.
