Indexing Issue

[dentaldesign]

Hi,

I am working on www.stjohnswaydentalpractice.co.uk

Google only seems to be indexing two of the pages when i search site:www.stjohnswaydentalpractice.co.uk

I have added the site to webmaster tools and created a new sitemap which is showing that it has only submitted two of the pages.

Can anyone shed any light for why these pages are not being indexed?

Thanks

Faye

Hi Faye,

I'm not sure if this is actually the main reason your Web site is not indexed but if you check Google's cached **text **version. You'll see that the links within your menu could not be found by Google. So this is probably causing that the Google bots won't crawl any more pages as they don't know how to find these pages on the Web site itself.

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi Faye,

As Martijn said there is an issue with your main menu, if you turn off javascript in firefox and visit the site... no menu at all!

You can see the result in your sitemap.xml also, only 2 urls are created in it, the homepage and the dentists page which you have a link to in the body text.

Try redoing your menu in css, it should fix the problem. Have a look here:

I just grabbed this example, if you search for css dropdown menus you will find many more.

Thanks!

I'm going to re do the navigation and add links at the bottom so hopefully google will now find the pages!
