Static HTM Indexing Concerns

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.

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!
