      Post subject: Too many pages for Google on my site?

Reply with quote

Hi guys, I got a question for you.

My site has about 130 pages. 107 of them are index
by Google.

Google has had about two month to index all 130 pages,
but they has only indexed 107.

Is 130 pages to many pages for Google to index? In
the Affiliate Masters Course it says that your site
should only have 50-70 pages and then you should
start on a new site.

I have about 15 pages on my site that are not
optimized, but they add value and content to my
site. Should I drop these pages in order to have the
rest of my optimized pages indexed?

Or will Google index all pages on my site if I am just
patient and wait?

Is there a limit to how many pages Google can index
on a site? I think I have seen sites that have about
1700 index pages. Does this sound accurate?

Thanks.

Hi,
There is no maximum for google (or it must be 50 Terabyte Laughing ).
Be patient it may take a while.
make sure google can reach all pages (use a sitemap e.g.).
Cheers
Bas

I agree with bas, I know sites with thousands and thousands of pages indexed with no problem. Get good quality links into your site, do a text link only (no graphic links) sitemap and be patient ... It will come.

Google does things in its own sweet time. Keeping building a new page a day and getting more links to your site, put your pages on a sitemap or sitemaps and Google will find them.

I just tried this search...

allinurl: associateprograms site:associateprograms.com

...and found 9,090 pages indexed. I think you can safely assume that you have space to grow yet.

I have a site that has more than 2000 pages and most of it has been crawled by Google. Where it says that sites are best to be 50 - 70 pages, I don't think is true. It depends by you on how large or small you want your site. Some larger sites do better than smaller sites and then some smaller sites do better than larger sites. It all depends on your amount of traffic and its quality.

Also, I notice that some of my pages haven't been crawled, it's only a few, but I think this is because Google only crawls a certain depth of a site. I don't know if they increase the death of their crawl if your PR is higher or if your website has been on the Web for quite sometime or even if they ever increase the death of the crawl at all.

It would be nice if they could dig one deeping into my larger site so that I can properly have every page indexed.

I'm not sure, but I would also like to get some clarification from others on this, but I'm not sure if using subdomains is a good idea or not as I don't know if Google would treat each subdomain as another index page of your site.

I mention this as yahoo uses sub domains and they are quite big.

Google uses subdomains as well so I can't see them not indexing subdomains.

I know sites with over 10000 pages that are well indexed, WebmasterWorld for one, and this site ... since Allan had the forum mod done AP has over 37000 pages indexed.

I know that subdomains will get listed within Google, but I was just thinking that Google seems to crawl a certain deepness of a site. So I was wondering if say you had the main homepage, which is the main index page and then if you went 2 clicks deep into your site and you then had a subdomain index page, would google then treat that like as if it is just another homepage allowing their robots to crawl another 2 clicks deep into your site as their robots wouldn't have if you didn't have that subdomain index page in the first place.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I stood up my directory site last month and Google has indexed 197 pages and counting. If 107 of your pages are already listed chances are you'll eventually get them in there.

It should be said that allinurl is very inconbclusive. Lists other sites besides yours. Use site instead

If you only use allinurl it will list other sites besides yours, but using
the combination of allinurl and site like Allen did will only list the
pages on your site.
