Hi Folks,

Need help...

Googlebot is not indexing my complete site. Only home page gets scanned regularly but the inner pages were scanned once and now they never carry a fresh date stamp.

I need help in getting them listed.

Thanks for your help.

there is a diffrence between crawling and indexing, has he crawled these pages? I am getting in the crawler alert notification messages about deeper crawling on sites only after they have been up for a few months

No, that's not quite true - pages have PR.
The home page, then, has a PR of 5. Other pages in your site will probably be lower, or much lower than this, unless you have deep-links from outside sites.

This can help explain the problem, especially if the route to some of the inner pages is only by means of other, low-PR pages, and not direct from the home page.

I hope that was clear. Trouble is, it doesn't seem that simple in real-life!

One of my sites has a home page with a PR of 5 and a fair number of links in that ARE listed in google's link command (ie, are probably from PR4 or above pages. The home page is visited about once every three weeks, and the inner pages perhaps once every 6 weeks. It's not really what I was hoping for!

Another of my sites has home page with a PR of 4, and only 3 links from other sites. That home page gets visited every day, and so does one of the inner pages - the What's New page. Couldn't be better.

No, I don't understand either, especially because the PR5 site does amazingly well against my "competition" in the SERPS.

You're right of course, except that the site with the higher PR homepage *also* has a What's New page that I have been dangling under Google's nose like a truffle now for several months!

I'm not complaining - I was merely pointing out that the ways these two sites of mine behave are probably the opposite way round from the way I expected!

Still, wouldn't this forum be boring if we all understood everything about google... I much prefer this game of chess we play on a daily, weekly and monthly basis!

See its like this: the website contains almost 20 pages out of which the most of the pages are PR5..all the pages have been scanned. The site was launched 4 months back. The pages have been crawled but date stamps never occur to any of the inner pages it just happens to the home page.
