I have a menu page linked to every page on my site amd linked to the index/home page. Then just to make sure I made a little h5 sized copy of the menu links and pasted them at the bottom of the domainname/ page page. My index page has reasonably good recognition and when I type my domain name into google it shows a nice number of linkages.

But I am sure the inner pages are not being spidered as none of the text shows up when searched for. I feel the reason it isn't spidering properly is something I am doing.
Is there any way I can begin to track this down?

Or is there a tool I can use that will tell me if my site is properly spiderable?

Thanks in advance, S

You could use a text-only browser such as Lynx to see what the spider sees: no script, no applets, no frames, no Flash. It is available for Un*x as well as for Windows. Or try the online tool at [searchengineworld.com...]

Thanks RonPK. The Search Engine World link worked fine and saw everything. I guess I am waiting for the next dance. And assumed because the home page is ranked that the other pages should have been included. S
