Blind Robots or Pages hiding from view

[seniorsmile]

Hi, I have a bit of a problem having any robot see anything other than my front page. Is there a simple solution to this?

Thank You

Provided you are talking about site in your signature, I think you should get as much backlinks as possible. PR0 is very low and means that your site won't be spidered frequently.
HTML code is clean and you shuld have no difficulties in getting spidered when robots hit your site.

Try this as a search term in Google:

[ More results from www.seniorsmile.com ]

Click on the "more results" at the bottom and you will see your other pages.

So Google knows about them.

However, apart from your own website, I only see 3 links to your site - one is from an inquiry about your submission to ODP/DMOZ, another is from an ODP download called ODP++, and the third is from a networking directory for Pinellas County.

Thus as adore said, your problem is you need to get listed in more directories and from other related/relevant websites. I too had a look at your page coding - nothing there that I can see that would disturb the spiders and your home page has a site map directing the spiders to your other pages. Work on links and you'll find your site will gain in prominance in the search results and more pages will show up.

I am seeing 16 of your pages indexed in Google.

Thanks for the response folks.
Here’s the problem, what Google is/was seeing is old pages outside the directory folder.(except index)
I went from using Pagemill to Golive and they setup differently where the Pagemill html pages were in the open directory and Golive placed them in a folder called “Pages” and since then all the pages inside the PAGES FOLDER haven’t been seen.
I left the old pages in because all the other search engines would call them up and when removed I would get 404 errors, so I left them and loaded the Golive update.
Example of links on front page menu

http://www.seniorsmile.com/Pages/reference_e.html
http://www.seniorsmile.com/Pages/community_f.html
http://www.seniorsmile.com/Pages/sitemap_g.html

Not found in any search up to yesterday.
Each page _a through _g has a sub page _a1-2-3-4-5-6?
also not found in any search engine.
It reads the front page, but it doesn’t go inside.

I thought I might need to add Robot meta tags or something?

These are the links I can remember, how many do I need?

minstrel and friends
These pages are in Google, most have been removed for sometime.
Now I don't know if I should remove them completely or work on them exclusively, but the design of those files indicates that they are old, some have redirect code to the new /Pages and index.
www.seniorsmile.com/main.html was the old front page that continued getting hit and I would get errors in Urchin so I put it back, as I did with other files.

If Google and no SE can see the active resent links and files IN the /PAGES/ folder/or /gulfport/ folder is it smart to remove them from the folder to the open directory?
Or maybe remove all the files outside the folders and start again.
The site was used for reference primarily, Jane had never exposed it to search engines in the 5 years it was up. She doesn’t rely on the site for business, but thought it might be something worth getting into.

Thanks for the help!
