Hi,

I have recently launched my website at
www.eztruckpro.com

I noticed that google has only indexed my home page. website navigation is clean and there are text links to other pages from the main page. why google doesn't go further to index the other pages?

Another question:
Google still shows my old web pages in their result. They don't exist now. I have removed them. will these pages be removed in the next google crawl and what should i do in this regard?

Thank you

When Google initally hits your site, it keeps track of all the links it finds, and depending on the popularity of your site, it will come back every day or every few weeks to get the lastest update. That is the Freshbot.

Once a month, it will come back with Googlebot to crawl all of the links it found from the freshcrawl, I know it's hard, but be patient.

Google keeps all of it's files that it finds in it's index for 90 days. During that time it will try 3 times to find those pages that no longer exist. After 90 days and 3 tries, if it does not find the page, only then will Google dump that page from it's index.

Like SEOforGoogle said, new sites are always indexed with the homepage first. Intially it is your homepage that will garner the highest PageRank, and all internal pages linking from the homepage will generally have 1 PR less than the homepage, depending on how vertical your site is. In my experience, when you first launch a site, you continually see your pages added in chunks. So it starts with the homepage, and then several weeks later, you may have 50 more indexed, and then another 50. Very rarely will Google index a complete site right off the bat.
