Missing files in Google and Bing Index

We uploaded our sitemap a while back and we are no longer see around 8 out of 33 pages.  We try submitting the sitemap again about 1-2 weeks ago and there but no additional pages are seen when I do site: option in both search engines.  I reviewed the sitemap and it includes all the pages.  I am not seeing any errors in the seo moz for these pages.  Any ideas what I should try?

Hi there,

Have you tried to Ping your sitemap?

Google:

http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

Bing:

http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

It normally takes days (even weeks) several days, weeks, or months for the search engines to show any results. You can check from time to time though..

Just because you submit a sitemap does not mean Google will index all your pages. Google only indexes pages it thinks will be relevant to users.

Make sure each of the pages has unique content on them, otherwise they may be filtered out as duplicate or thin content.

Getting links to your content will also help your pages get indexed much quicker than just submitting a sitemap. Internal links from your site are good, external links from other sites is even better.

Do you find the sitemap.xml works better than submitting a sitemap page with all the same links?   Currently I using a sitemap page instead of a sitemap.xml file.
