      Prior to doing a little work cleaning up broken links and keyword stuffing Google only indexed 23/333 pages. I realize it may not be because of the work but now we have around 300/333.

      My question is is this a big deal?

      cheers,

        That is not something to worry about but something to be very proud of. You would be surprised to what a few little tweaks can do for instance if the 24th page Google tried to crawl was broken then they would have stopped there. Your site now have 277 new pages of content that can now help you rank for a variety of keywords you may not have been able to before.

        Great job!

          Thanks Sean. I had no idea that's how the Bot worked. When it hit a roadblock I assumed it just maneuvered around.

            Well typically the bot crawls multiple links on a page and when it hits a 404 or a redirect loop that particular action is stopped. It can prevent additional pages from being crawled.

            • Should you use robots.txt for pages within your site which do not have high quality content or are not contributing a great deal so when Google crawls your site the best performing content has a higher chance of being indexed?
