Why Won't Google Index Parts of my Site??

I own a web directory and, in the last month, 200+ listings have been added but NONE of the pages are being indexed by Google. My sitemap (Yoast) has been submitted successfully and there are no errors. What's more, all the blog posts are indexed within days but none of the listing pages are indexed by Google, even when I fetch them within Webmaster Tools. You can see a few samples below:

http://edirectories.info/company/university-frames/
Collection Picture Frames Inc. - Edirectories.info
EZ Web Hosting - Edirectories.info
WebNet Hosting - Edirectories.info
Web Hosting UK - Edirectories.info
Abernathy MacGregor Group - Edirectories.info
ABI - Edirectories.info
Absolutely PR - Edirectories.info
The Social Media Marketing Blog - Edirectories.info
QUBE Media - Edirectories.info
Frontiering Talk - Edirectories.info

My website is not penalized so I'm not sure what I'm getting wrong. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? How long does it take Google to index non-blog pages? Thanks in advance for your help!

    If you take a sample of some of the text and quote it, the text shows up on a bunch of sites. I think Google just hasn't added it to the supplemental index yet since it's either duplicate or very similar.

    "By 2014, WebNet Hosting had over 6,000 customers in 77 countries."

    Shows up on 3 other sites.

      This makes a lot of sense, and is likely the reason the unique blog content is getting indexed but the listing pages are not. I wonder how other directories get past this since many business owners are copy/pasting the same content across multiple directories. Thanks for the insight

        Google flavors blogs. So it's natural to see that blog posts get indexed quickly. It will take some time for other pages to get indexed. Internal linking plays vital role in helping new pages to get indexed.

          That is total garbage. Google could care less about blogs.

          Except that news sites, popular forums, and all sort of other stuff gets indexed faster than average shyster blogs. One might even conclude that something like, say, backlinks would affect the rate of indexation.

        Simple, when you have two domains with the same content Google is ranking the domain/page with the stronger backlink profile.

    To index the blogs sites in Google first we have to check the perfect content and the information in the blog shouldn't be a copied content. Then only your pages will indexed to Google.

      I've got no idea what these random things have to do with indexing a page. However, I'm pretty sure that this poster hasn't got a clue either.

      Good luck with that. I've not seen a single piece of perfect content in my life.

      Thanks for your comment, but check my robots.txt for what exactly? Google's crawler has access, hence why the other pages (like the blog pages) are being indexed
