Having 2 listings

[Jon12345]

I have some sites in Google, some which show just the home page and others that show the home page and another listing below it, indented.

Under what conditions will it show this secondary page? What can you do to get a secondary page shown?

Once google has crawled past the front page of your site, it will put those pages, indented, under the link to the homepage or whichever one it pulls up. It does this on its own schedule.

Make sure the Googlebot can get to those other pages through links so, wait a while for it to do its thing, and those pages should eventually show up.

Google will generally only show 2 results from any site during a search. If those two results would have been on the same page of the results, Google will create the indented results that you noticed.

But Google has long spidered one of my sites and it still shows only 1 page listed. Also, the same for many of my competitors. Surely there is something else that determines if Google will show another page indented?

If you have two pages that would rank on their own for a specified key phrase in the top 10, instead of putting them in positions say #1 and #10, Google moves up the #10 ranked page and indents under your page that is ranking #1. This shows that the page is from the same site and effectively gives you rank #1 and #2.

If your home page ranks #1, all you have to do is get an internal page to rank in the top 10, and it will jump to #2, indented under your other page.

You'll notice that if you change the results per page to 100, that there is a good chance you can see many sites with their home page, and an internal indented page.

It isn't about getting your links spidered.

Hope this explains it.

Ok, makes sense. Thanks.
