Hi there,

The pages of my site (it has only been online for about two months or so) do not seem to be cached by google. When searching on google site:mysite.com only the URL's are displayed, no title or description. All those pages have <meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX,FOLLOW"> in the <HEAD> and are not disallowed in robots.txt. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

I have the same problem with some of my 1 year old deep pages and can't get rid of it. Actually, I dont have time for those pages to be indexed. However, I believe that if you find some incoming links from other sites that will work. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Run Xenu LinkSleuth over your site and make sure there are no internal linking problems first.

Thank you. I've run xenu and there are only three broken links, I'm sure they are on the pages that are not indexed (ROBOTS=NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW) but I'll double check it tonight.

hi
how did you get on with getting your description and title back, mine has been missing since August?

I'm currently working on getting different description for each page (they used to be all the same), also all urls will be different and I'll use 301 redirect from old urls. I'll post back once it's all done and re-indexed by google (hopefully).
