Can this be a Problem with Google?

[condemons]

I have a site that never has been spidered by Google.

The site is perfectly correct for Google, the only thing I´m afraid is the urls name:

www.mysite.com/index.php?example1
www.mysite.com/index.php?example2/example2/

And similar. Can be "?" be a problem for being spidered and completly listed by Google? At least I see all the urls with the question mark after the Php call naver get listed.

Any ideas? :-(

I have sites that use variables' declarations in URL, and they are spidered with no problem.

Sometimes i think there's a problem with generating such page, if it takes too much time google leaves it.

But i think that there's a problem that you don't declare your variables properly, i these like this:

i.e. [mydomain.com...]
or [mydomain.com...]

These should be good for google (they work certainly for me)

First thing I would do is run a Spider Simulator [searchengineworld.com]. Is the SIM Spider seeing all of your content? Are the links visible?

From there I would check html/xhtml validation [searchengineworld.com].

And then, if you have an external style sheet, might as well validate your css [jigsaw.w3.org] while your at it.

Once you've done all that, then come back and let us know what you found out. From there we might be able to determine if there is a problem somewhere or not.

Do you mean that also the home page is not indexed? If you search for:

site:www.mydomain.com -asdf

you should see al pages known to Google not containing the word 'asdf' (so most likely you will see all the pages of your site in the index). If the home page is also missing, than the linking is not relevant. Do you have links to your site on pages already indexed by Google?

www.mysite.com/index.php?example1

More common is <parameter name> = <value> like

www.mysite.com/index.php?str=example1

but this shouldn't be a problem.

Great tools, thanks for the info!

IMO

Google can crawl sites with? fine. But I have a site built on .cfm?Product=Value and hasn't been completly indexed in 2 years. I know others with the same problem all of them have a PR3. I have done searches and found sites that have the variables in the URL but with a PR4 or greater.

I am believing that if your PR is good enouph they will crawl a dynamic site. [my theory that dynamic = change and unless it is important or good PR not necessary to crawl]

When I changed pages to static with SQL built into the page to create dynamic page, it was crawled the next indexing in G.
