Phew.. new year disaster for me. I have a new site that was crawled in October by G. The site has around 400 pages. In October around 90 pages were indexed some had description and title but about fifty percent were without description and title. Then in November, the pages indexed reached around 150, again some were indexed some were not. Then in December, I had 270 pages indexed, around 70 percent had title and description. Of note, there was no page rank all this while though I have around 500 pages linking to it with PR of 2-5.

This new year I hoped to see some improvement. Phew... it is all gone. Just two pages have title and description, rest all are without any title and description and I have as low as only 3 pages indexed in some datacenters. It is total disaster. Can anyone help?

Or has anything like this ocurred here with anyone here today.

Phew... i just dont know what to do now. Any help?

Back links were also updated. On all sites.

Strange: I see one PR5 distributing its full PR to most of its subpages with the following exceptions:

Brand-new pages (created this year) are still PR0 (which seems normal)
medium new pages (created November/December) only PR4

So only the oldest of subpages get full PR.

And how much PR to the rest?

We're getting PR updates from 6 to 7 on subpages that aren't even indexed.

My home page is now PR 6. Every page of my navigation bar is PR 5 (the navbar is present in every page of the site). I have lots of pages linked from my home page. A few of them are not PR 5, but 4. The lower PR of the latter seems related to the lower number of links they have from the internal pages of the site.

Try to reload the page. Still green toolbar?

dasboot, just saw this in another thread. 301s can take several weeks to resolve. In the meantime, you're happy if your index page appears at all.

Generally passes a 6 where there are a few links to that page and if it is only one then it is a 5. One of the pages that has 4 is linked from every page on the site so should be 6

Yep - the page isn't in Google's index, but has moved from PR6 to 7.

What's interesting, is that pages that historically have been in the index but are no longer (like this one) show PR. But some brand new pages, also not in index, show PR zero.

This leads to the conclusion that even if pages aren't indexed - Google still knows about them - has some record of them somewhere.

Anyone care to comment?

How did you check whether they are indexed or not?

It's been pretty obvious for a while that Google's search results index and their toolbar pagerank index are seperate.

Since the indexes are updated at different times, "normally" people see this exhibited as their pages show up in the search results, then sometime later, their pages start to show their pagerank in the toolbar.

If you think through the consequences of that, if a page drops out of the search results index completely, it should still continue to show pagerank in the toolbar until the next toolbar pagerank index update.

The second case is just less well known because most people don't have pages that fall completely out of Google's search results index.
