My website appears in Google search, but only the first page. Of course I have sub-pages linked from the first page, but the sub-pages do not show in Google search. Not in Yahoo, not in Bing.

What should I do? It has been three years that sub-pages do not show. (I tried searching site:mydomain.com and pressed 'repeat the search with the omitted results included' link) What would you suspect the reason?

My website addresses were like xxx.php?yy=zzz etc, etc, so I changed it to /yy/zzz using mod_rewrite.

I thought it might be (X)HTML standard violations, so now I changed it.

I hope Google will soon have my entire website, but I am a little bit pessimistic.

Do you have any thought?

  • @Tom Thanks for your goodwill. Now, at least Google has my pages in its index. So, I guess it's okay now. Perhaps it was sitemap, but I'm not sure. Thanks any way!!

Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools. Under Health, check for crawl errors, blocked URLs and malware. All potentially problematic for indexing inner pages.

By sub-pages, I guess you mean the links shown below some sites in Google search results which are called Sitelinks.

Sitelinks are completely automated & based on Google's algorithms. To get Sitelinks for a site it helps to have a well-structured website.

As per Googler Maile Ohye,

Sitelinks are often produced when there's a high probability that the site is the top match for the user's query. In other words, to have sitelinks ... you'll probably need to be the definitive first result

  • I think they meant inner page, i.e. pages that are not their home page.

  • Yes, I meant inner pages.

I had the same problem, when trying site:centaminute.com, it only showed five pages. I went into Google Webmaster Tools and I manually submitted all pages that were not indexed (now there are 17 in total). They appeared in the results immediately afterwards. This solution is practical only for a pretty small number of pages though.
