Why aren't my URL's being indexed by google?

One of the easiest ways to get more leads is to add more (high-quality) pages to your site.  One question that is increasingly common from small business owners who have embraced the "more website pages equals more leads" philosophy is, "how come Google isn't indexing all of the pages listed in my sitemap?" (note: if you don't know what a sitemap is, contact us or sign-up for one of our SEO Seminars!)

So, why doesn't Google index all of the pages listed in your sitemap?  

We found this video of Matt Cutts explaining why Google indexes some URL's and not others: 

Get more of your webpages indexed by: 

  • Include relevant text (keywords) in each of your website's pages
  • Increasing your website's authority by getting more links from authoritative sites
  • Making your webpages easy for Google to find - including them in an XML sitemap helps (but doesn't guarantee indexing)
  • Submit your sitemaps to webmaster tools sites
  • Focusing on creating and distributing remarkable content (makes getting links easier)
