Default Why are good pages not being indexed?

Hi,

My website has been live for 4 months now. It has great content and visitors coninue to grow. I have wonderful pages dedicated to specific health conditions, which I had hoped would serve as landing pages. The sad fact however is that none of these pages have even been indexed.

The pages are found at Healthy Comparisons - Members where there is a dropdown box for the user to select the appropriate health condition (also html page for google to read). I rewrote the urls so that there is a unique link to each page in the format which you can see in the sitemap found at http://www.healthycomparisons.com.au/Sitemap.xml

Can anyone see any fundamental reason why the crawlers are not indexing these CompareSelect.aspx pages? Is it the url rewrite? Do you have any ideas as to what I need to do to get them indexed?

Thank you so much for your advice!

Kristy

In my opinion, you have not included the Healthy Comparisons - Members URL in your XML sitemap. I could not find it atleast. Moreover, for each drop down element, the URL change was only to a single one.
In addition, I would advice that you maintain only one type of xtension format for your URLs. Either .aspx or .html.

Wait and watch for other SEO Gurus advice!!

Most of your links depend on javascript.
You should add '<noscript>' tags with links to pages for browsers/bots not supporting javascript.

Your website needs lots of navigational help. Is this nothing more than a affiliate template website that your supplier gave you to work with?
