4 Months and nothing indexed in Google -

My site was launched 4 months ago and has over 3000 pages if good content. We have set different meta tags for each page and unique text, although similar products appear on the same pages together with their descriptions. Google has indexed 2 pages, MSN 85 and Yahoo 1185. What I do not understand is how I am supposed to know if I am in the sandbox or if Google is objecting the format or content of my site either way having only 2 pages indexed is a disaster. I have a PR0 of zero and I know it takes time for that to change but how can I fix the site. I have a backlink from a PR5 and some PR4's but not a huge number. Some backlinks are not yet showing which probably means that those site need to be spidered. I also have up-to-date sitemaps. What if anything can I do. I have asked everyone I know for a backlink and added my site to as many directories as possible. What if anything can I do other than "Keep building backlinks"? |

What's the url? http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ampspecs.co.uk This one's been crossposted without indication. |

What you think those validation errors are why all the pages are not getting
indexed? LOL. Probably not the problem, in fact I would say it isn't the
problem. A site requires links to it to show it's worthiness. It takes time
to get stable ranking.
The site has only been up for 4 months. Really still quite new to get all
the pages indexed without good incoming links. Especially since it is also a
highly competitive field, even if all the pages were indexed they probably
would not rank well.

anchoring your home page!!!!
3,000 pages and they all point to
http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/Light-Bulbs-Tubes, which of course is NOT
your home page. While your site map says Light Bulbs & Tubes points to
http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/ which happens to be the correct home page.
All you have to do, is change all your Light Bulbs & Tubes hyperlinks
to point to your correct home page of
http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/ and your Google Page rank should go right
up due to 3,000 internal links to your home page which are also well
anchored.
You have simply shot yourself in the foot, the way your web pages
currently link to the WRONG hyperlink!!!!
Should be a simple fix with any search and replace utility.

Thanks for your input I thought something was not as it should be but
couldn't put my finger on what it was. I am not sure where you are talking
about "Anchor text" are you talking about the left hand tab which is called
"Light Bulbs & Tubes"? If you are then I have a problem as the whole system
is template based and I cannot point a tab to route. What I can do is point
it to http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/ will that do the trick?

your home page?
Instead of calling your home page, Home, you are referring to it as
'Light Bulbs & Tubes' which are your keywords. While your site is
somewhat confusing since it does NOT use the word Home, the hyperlink
is in the correct position on the header of each web page. So, users
should be able to deal with it. And, the search engines will give your
home page a better position since you are referring to your home page
with the important keywords for your site.
Care to add anything, BB?

Now you have really confused me, are you saying that the site is OK after all? |
All you need to do is change your 'Light Bulbs & Tubes' hyperlink at
the top of each page so that it links to http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/,
your home page.
Everything else fine as it is to me.
