      I am trying to figure out why a website is not getting fully indexed by google. The website was built with Godaddy's website designer so maybe this is the problem. Originally, the internal links throughout the navigation were linked to “pages” within the site. I went in and changed all of these navigation links to point to the actual url links throughout the site instead of relative links pointing to pages on the server. I thought this would have solved the problem because I thought that perhaps google was not able to follow the original relative links. When I check to see how many pages are in the google index I still see the same #. What is going on? Should this website be rebuilt using more search engine friendly code like wordpress? Is there a simple fix that will enable google to find all of this content created by Godaddy design software?

      I appreciate any help offered. Here is the site-

        That most probably because Google spider does not find many links to this page and allocates less time in crawling.

        Also you XML sitemap is not complete.

        Add all your webpages to the XML sitemap, submit you sitemap to Google using webmasters tools and using same tool fetch as google bot and resubmit your website and all linked pages to google again.
