I've had a yahoo site for several years. Over that time I mostly paid for traffic but as costs continue to rise I started to focus more on free traffic - that's why I'm here.

Here's my problem. I know googlebot has been to my site 100's of times over the past years, however the only page that is ever indexed is the index/home page. I have numerous links going to product pages from the home page. Individual product pages have much more relavant content that i'd like to start having show up - also, other yahoo stores have particular product pages showing up in google's index - I just don't know why mine's not - any ideas?

My plan of attack is as follows.

1. Create links to particluar product pages from other websites

2. Submit spefic urls to google's add url page

3. I don't know!

Do you think because i have a yahoo store it's not being fully indexed for some reason - I've tried everything.

Any ideas!?

Our e-commerce site is a Yahoo store:

"Searched the web for <my site>. Results 1 - 10 of about 766. Search took 0.12 seconds."

As you can see, Google has never had any problems indexing all of it.

Our major keyword is <snip> - try that and see where we are...

Have you checked your settings under "SEARCH ENGINES" in your Ystore Manager?
