"The number of pages we crawl is roughly proportional to your PageRank"

[SEOPTI]

After submitting a xml sitemap in Google WMT I see:

submitted URLs: 192,199
161,363 URLs in web index

Does it mean they did not index 30836 URLs because of lack of Page Rank?
There are no problems with the site, no duplicate content, all unique URLs.

Probably not. Appears PR just has not been established for those pages... and PR, for the most part, is a non-starter these days. I wouldn't worry about it.

No site gets all its pages into the index - from the sites I get to see, you're doing pretty well there.

Note that Matt Cutts was talking about pages "crawled" and not "indexed". Those are two separate steps in the search engine process.

Still, there is a rough relationship between them, and you can't get indexed if you haven't even been crawled. But if your domain root has PR1 showing on the toolbar and you hope to get 1 million URLs either crawled or indexed, well your just out of luck.

Thanks, I overlooked he was using "crawling" not "indexing".
