Hi,

I would like to know , why the SERP for my site show up like this :

LINK
[SIMILAR PAGE]

instead of :
TITLE
DESCRIPTION
GREEN LINK [CACHED][SIMILAR PAGES]

Another question, I submitted my site in october build backlinks yet only 2 pages of my site appear and they appear strangely without description , title etc....

Also from what I read googlebot come at least once a week or more, in my case , I see googlebot once every two months.
People say google love fresh content, well, I add a new page every 3 days in fact I try to follow Brett Tabke '26 steps to 15k a Day'.

People say google love backlinks, well, I build link popularity everyday. Most of my traffic are from those links , I have very little traffic from the SEs :-(

Should I submit again my pages?

Thanks for help,

ciml

If Googlebot has not fetched your page recently, then it doesn't have a tile or snippet to use. To encourage Google to spider your page, I suggest getting a link from a URL with some PageRank and then waiting a while.

The 'description' will be from your Open Directory entry (if you have one), but it can take some time for Google to update ODP data.

I have several quality links from sites that are spidered and updated frequently in the Google SERP. In fact, I get my traffic from those links.
I still don't understand why some new sites are spidered and indexed quickly than others with similar strategy.

From what I have read this seems to be a problem with Google. I have 2 sites (and 1 another by the looks of it) that suffer from the same problem. They have DMOZ listings and 1 has Yahoo! listing, yet Googlebot doesn't seem to care. Emails to Google haven't made any difference.

If Google only shows the page URL in the SERPs, then the standard response from GoogleGuy in the past has been that Google has seen your site mentioned in links from other sites, but has not yet followed those links.

I have no idea why that would still be so, after these many months, but I would certainly check your code through [validator.w3.org...] to make sure that there is not some major HTML typo that makes the site unspiderable.

Yes it's useful. I'm also interested in the deep-crawling of pages. E.g. if it crawls page A and page A has some other internal links off it why or why not those subpages would be crawled or not.

Hi,

I have investigated that already the HTML is fine and if the HTML is not fine it means that google are unable to index link that are into <Div> tag (I don't use table).Also, FAST indexed most of my pages.No problem with the code .

Might be a good idea to check if there are any broken links on your site?
Google gives low priority to site with unstable links (broken,redirects,etc).
