My XML sitemap has a lot of links - for example:

nanoc.gigfa.com/post.php?id=1
nanoc.gigfa.com/post.php?id=2
nanoc.gigfa.com/post.php?id=3
nanoc.gigfa.com/post.php?id=4
nanoc.gigfa.com/post.php?id=5

I've added my sitemap via Google Webmaster Tools (my site map -> www.nanoc.gigfa.com/sitemap.php), but Google has only added this page - nanoc.gigfa.com/post.php?id=1 - from 171 pages.

This is the Google Tools result when i submit my sitemap:

    Sitemap     Status  Type    Downloaded  URLs submitted  URLs in web index
/sitemap.php        OK  Sitemap     Sep 2, 2011     171             1

Why has Google added only 1 page in web index?

There's possibly a number of reasons:

  1. Does the sitemap validate (as XML)?
  2. Is Google showing errors in the WebMasterTools console for this sitemap?
  3. When did you submit the SiteMap? Some lower-ranked sites can take days/weeks to crawl/index
  4. ARE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR SITE WORTH INDEXING? <- main problem

Many of the URLs I visited on your site are empty pages - e.g: www.nanoc.gigfa.com/index.php?par_lev=25 - why should Google index this?

    please see reason #4. If none of those page have back-links (external to your site), and your site isn't well back-linked and Google doesn't deem the content to be of any value then there's no reason for it to be indexed. I ask you - why should Google index your page?
