    Posted: 29-June-2010 at 6:32pm

Is anyone or has anyone had any issues with the indexabiliy of any of the htm static pages for SEO? 

I have have well over 2100 products in my store, I have been using the seo plug in for 1 year now.  Im not as concerned with the products getting indexed, per the recent changes google has made to their alog's in May.  What I'm noticing is my tier 2 or "sub" categories are not getting indexed.  Here are the specifics
 
-All Categories have original metas and approximately 250-300 words of content
-my main navigation page is on off of my homepage, as well as in my main nav, as well as in my left hand navigation.
-Once clicked you are viewing my tier 1 categories
-once a tier one gategory is clicked you would see teh "sub categories" of that particular category
 
my issue is these sub categories do not get indexed and have not for some time , does anyone have any suggestions.
 
Recap
 
home page >> main page off navigation >> categories >> sub categories >>products
 
at most the are 3 clicks from the home page
 
Thanks Billy

There should be any issues. Can you post some links so that we can take a look?

Sub-categories appear to have been correctly indexed. For example, here is one that we picked at random.

thanks for the quick reply - that particular url is a category or tier 1 - more so speaking of the sub categories within a category like this category
the sub categories
 
don't seem to be getting indexed.  also site:www.domain-com returns About 119 results (0.05 seconds) 
 
and has for some time now
 
again my main focus is just trying to get the categories indexed, the products are not of a major concern yet
 
Thanks

No, that's a Level 2 category. It's a subcategory of http://www.cigarsupply.com/cigars/pc/Cigars-c52.htm

Have you submitted an XML sitemap to Google?

See if the Google Webmaster Tools provide any information on why some of the URLs in the sitemap have not been indexed.

Please note - however - that Google makes it very clear that including URLs in a sitemap is not a guarantee that they will be indexed. On this, please see: http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/marketing-generate_sitemaps#what_happens_next

All in all, if the only link to a certain sub-category is the one from the parent, and the page is a "deep" sub-category (level 3 and deeper), Google might decide that it is not relevant enough for indexing.

So the thing to focus on would be to add more, relevant links to those "deep" categories.

For example, write blog articles or twitter posts that link to specific level-3 categories.

We hope this helps!
