This is bugging me. I am happy that Yahoo is indexing us and on some keywords, we appear on the first page of SERPs.

Google has yet to index us past our home page.

Please tell me what you know of Yahoo vs Google. Google is making me frustrated.

In recent times, Google has been much slower to deep crawl a site, and also much slower to put new pages into their search results (the so-called sandbox effect is a real phenomenon.)

Google seems not only to be updating their algorithm in complex ways at this point, but also changing over to a new spidering technology.

There's nothing much for it but to wait and keep on improving your site -- and know that you're not alone. One of my clients is still not showing on Google after 7 months, but their website is now profitable just from Yahoo traffic alone. So it can be done, and then whenever Google jumps in, the extra will be like found money.
