How to Ensure Your Webpages are Indexed by Google
Many webmasters overlook the fact that Google doesn't index websites, it indexes web pages. That means that it is entirely possible that some pages of your website are doing well in Google while the search engine is completely unaware of other pages. No matter how good the content on those pages, no reader will ever find it on a search engine.
Why? Search spiders travel through web pages one link at a time. It's a little bit like Tarzan swinging through the jungle - the spiders are Tarzan, the trees are each website page, and the links are the vines that Tarzan uses to travel. If a page doesn't have a vine that Tarzan can reach, he'll never visit that tree.
So how can you ensure that your trees have plenty of vines - or that your pages are easy for search engine spiders to find?
1. Make sure that your coding is clean and compliant. Bad coding can tangle the vines, keeping the spiders away from your pages.
2. Use a site map to make sure all of the your pages are simple for the spiders to find.
3. Create good site navigation that will enable spiders and visitors alike to easily find what they need.
4. Entice other trees, err, sites to link to your pages.
5. Get other sites to deep link directly to your inner pages where appropriate, not just to your start page.
