      I'm checking out a dentist website http://www.sagedentalnj.com/

      I was referred by a friend so just taking a little peek at it. When you click on the menu items, the url at the top doesn't change. When you view source, the page titles are all the same.

      when I do site:http://www.sagedentalnj.com/  none of his pages are indexed by google.

      What can be done with his site so that google sees his pages? Maybe submit sitemap?

        Sitemap won't help you as there are no actual pages to index.

        Not only are the pages called up via JavaScript, but they live inside an iFrame (which Google won't crawl).

        Your best bet here is to scrap this site and build another one. Bottom line. The site is essentially invisible to Google.

          Miketek is right. You have an invisible site to SEs which may as well not have any content at all from an SEO perspective.

            Thanks for the help. So much for the balance between flashy web site and SEO friendly.
