I'm getting confused and frustrated with the indexing for one of our sites. It is a fairly new site and domain, its about 3 months old. Already it is ranking fairly well for a few keywords with a few number 1s in Google, but some keywords just arent ranking. Two pages arent being indexed in Google for some reason: http://www.derbyshiregarden.com/hellebores.phphttp://www.derbyshiregarden.com/hardy_perennials.phpCan anyone see any problems with the site or the pages that could be effecting their indexing? Both pages are included in the sitemap thats been uploaded to the webmaster tools..  |

There's no real reason I can see but I can't see at robots.txt file for the site.
Bear in mind Google doesn't index all pages from all sites, I too have pages unindexed. Saying that though, the site is small enough and the pages are unique enough that I think they'll soon be indexed. Maybe get a link or two to those pages, but don't overdo it on an infant site.

Build 3-5 decent incoming links to each of those pages and they will be indexed.

Or do what the wonderful ctabuk would do (Ok so I'm creeping - but I have a whole family of Splongs to support)
set up a Google alert and in the keyword section place the exact pages.

In your Google account it should be one of the top options, with a little bell symbol next to it. Set up a comprehensive alert for the domain/page and Google will email you with updates, also alerting them to hunt out the page  |

Yes - it is the one method that guarantees crawling. Other than simply adding the page to a forum sig, but that won't get you related IBL's - unless you know how hehe

Supplemental Ratio for your site derbyshiregarden.com is 69.05%
* Google has a total of 42 pages indexed from derbyshiregarden.com
* 13 are in the main index
* 29 are in the supplemental index
Common Causes of Supplemental Pages:
* Pages due to canonicalization problems, e.g duplicated content, too much content similarity;
* Pages with low or no content;
* Orphaned web pages. Pages that no one links to, including your own;
* Error pages, if a site does not use If-Modified-Since, Last Modified and/or Expires rules;
* Poor website navigation;
* Loading pages with irrelevant keywords (keyword stuffing);
* Too low PageRank;
* Long URLs, especially with long parameters, starting with a question mark (?) and being separated with an ampersand (&) and are not rewriten;
* Suspicious pages for spamindexing, like non-unique and irrelevant to page content heading tags, meta tags, or linking to bad neighborhoods, etc.
Do you have any of the above issues? Check it out.

I have always found sitemaps to be a good way to help new pages get indexed by google. |
