how to get your whole site indexed.
Search engines will only index sites that appear important on the web. In order to
boost your site's importance on the web and to ensure it is indexed fully and often
you will need to do the following:
1. Make sure you have plenty of inbound links. Directories are a great place to start
building one way, non-reciprocated links.
2. Ensure there is nothing in the robots.txt file blocking access - a common problem
is that blocked directories need a trailing '/' i.e. Disallow: /images/. Ensure
there is no robots meta tag on the page that could be blocking access. There are
programs available that emulate a spider indexing your site - use one of these
to ensure your site can be read.
3. If you are having issues getting only one or two pages indexed by the search engine,
you should add a site map page to your site. A site map is simply a listing of all
of the pages within the site and includes direct (not javascript) links to all pages.
Adding a link from the home page to the site map will ensure your whole site gets
indexed correctly.
