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.
