Pages In Subdirectory

Google won't index my pages in subdirectories.

I launched a site a few weeks ago, and I'm struggling to get Google to index all of it.

My main page contains a few links to pages in the root folder, and then the rest of the links are in subfolders (either /stations or /tags). Admittedly these pages are dynamically generated, and are technically speaking not actually there, but Google shoudln't be able to see this as they have search engine friendly urls (for example tag.php?t=rock is linked as www.site.com/tags/rock.htm).
The Googlebot visits almost every day, and now the site is in the index, but it's only indexing the pages in the root directory, when most of my content exists on these pages.

Why won't Google index my subdirectory pages?

Hi, What you describe, sounds normal these days, google is selective about what it indexes. How the pages are generated is irrelevent as is the directory structure ( but not how pages interlink ).

I suggest you get links from other sites to establish some pank rank, ensure title tags are relevent to each pages content, and if possible generate meta description tag unique to each page else no meta descipion at all.
