This is so frustrating...

I have a 1,000 page website and only 300 of those pages are indexed.

I submitted a site-map + pinged all the pages - but only 300 are being indexed by Google.

What should I do?

PS: Am I really supposed to bookmark 1,000 pages...

Seriously, any advice would be much appreciated, I am very frustrated!

    I also have a huge website that now has 2,000 pages. Hundreds of
    them were added in one shot recently.

    They are all slowly getting indexed without backlinks, but the domain
    is a couple of years old and it gets decent traffic.

    So if your site is new, you need to build backlinks - give it some
    time.

    The site is over 1 year old and the main pages combined have nearly 3,000 links coming into them - but the deep deep pages just aren't getting indexed.

    And if I need to build links to those 1,000 pages - what kind? (consider you would be building 1000 of them!)

    Any more advice?

        Have you tried build a "Sitemap page"? Make sure all the links are linking to each other.

        Are you using deep links?

        E.g: yourdomainname.com/subfolder1/subfolder2/subfolder3/.../.../example.html

  • Your problem is more than likely the following

    - Site Architecture is flawed and not categorized effectively against your online competition.

    - You do not have enough page juice to have every page indexed, other sites that are targeting each term have pages that basically have more domain authority and page authority than you, you need to work on this starting with a benchmark site evaluation

    - The fact that you are asking the question you have asked I can only assume you have not actually keyword targeted and mapped out each page of content for your site.

    - Your internal linking strategy is flawed

    - Your site will continue to bleed more and more pages as your competitors get stronger in the engines, ( all three of them )

    - You have a weak on page SEO strategy

    Without knowing your domain info, these are often the most common problems we find day in and out.

    Sitemaps do not actually help you with indexing all that much, they help the engines with discovery.

    Depending on the niche we dont even put up a sitemap until we have at least 65% of the site indexed within google ( Bing / Yahoo will follow, they are just much slower)

    Often using site maps actually works against you as it can mask internal site problems.

    Without sitemaps we are able to see why a URL is organically not indexed and work to fix that.

    Often with sitemaps the URL discovery allow very weak indexation but not enough for ranking. This often defeats the purpose and really does hurt your site.

    Once a good site has 65% of the pages organically indexed we can often reflow the page juice domain wide to not only index over 90% of a site ( assuming common sense has been in place: eg No duplicate Content, No poison on page problems, no paid linking or offering paid linking service, no URL problems, etc, etc. )

    At this point often very quickly we are able to have you outrank many of your serious competitors in the SERPS within A month and then are able to focus on the remaining keywords.

    Hope this can be of some help
