Googlebot Spider only crawling homepage.

Googlebot not crawling all of website

[phntsm]

Hi everyone. I am trying to figure out why my default.asp page is the only page crawled by Googlebot. I found this out by looking at the web log files. Thanks.

are the links on your main page to your deeper content spiderable?

[phntsm]

Maybe you can tell me. I'm not sure what is spiderable and what's not. I have graphic links in an include file and I have a menu system. If you would like to check out my site, it's in my profile. Thanks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld phntsm,
^{Don't forget to read paynt's welcome post [webmasterworld.com].}

According to our TOS [webmasterworld.com] we cannot do a site review. We need to stick to questions and answers that will be of interest to the greater portion of the WebmasterWorld community.

Are you using regular <a href> tags for your links around the images or is it controlled by javascript functions? Google won't follow or read javascript so your links need to be regualar html for google to follow. Also if you are using query strings this could be a problem. Even though google can spider dynamic URLs it won't follow urls linked from a page with low PR. So how are you linking? How long have you been in the google index?

[jatar_k]

we don't need to look at a link to a specific site to talk about link structures.

Do you have long query strings in your links? If you have images with <A HREF=".... style links around the image tag then they are set up fine.

Thanks for the help. I do have javascript menus and other scripts. I am currently thinking of making a site map text link on the main menu. Would this be helpful in allowing the spider to follow it to the rest of my site pages?

A regular html site map is exactly what the doctor ordered ;)

Make sure it is a normal html link that links to the site map.
