Too few pages indexed by ggl. why?

1 pointsby bee16 anni fa6 comments

Hello, I have a question.

I have a website, and I submitted a sitemap in google webmaster tools, with about 10k pages. But only around 2k (around 20%) are in google index. Any ideas how to get indexed more pages?

I have the exact same script on another website, and around of 80% pages are in google index.

I don't know what's the difference... any ideas?

I've got the same problem, and I am told that the problem is due to a lack of links to the pages in question. Simply being in the Sitemap is not by itself sufficient to guarantee a page appearing in Google.

So: make sure that the pages that are listed link to the ones that aren't, so some PageRank trickles down.

Thanks, but the point is I have the same script installed on another website that has 80% pages in index...

That site probably has a higher PageRank.

Is curious, I've launched it after the one with few indexed pages :)

A site with a sitemap, but nothing else (already ranked) linking to it would probably not get indexed.

that must be it I guess, should get more links, even the links are on the index and not inner pages
