I try to improve my page rank with Google. Google wants the websites to be more informative and contain useful information. Some of my web pages that contain a great deal of relevant information have not been crawled by Google. My question is how can I force the Google to index all my web pages?
My web URL is: http://www.futureskills.com. The page that I want to be indexed is: http://www.futureskills.com/terms/. I have resubmitted my sitemap to Google.

Hi, FutureSkills!

Is what is below, the actual link to your site, please?

http://www.futureskills.com/

Or, is your site something else?

Thanks!

I noticed that there are no keywords on the /terms page.

The Robots will index all pages by default, but not sure if they need keywords on the linked pages.

The page that I want Google to crawl is: Private High School, Night Credit Course, North York Toronto - Terms and Conditions

It has been crawled:
FutureSkills + Terms and Conditions - Google Search

Hi again, FutureSkills!

You can get much better results when people do searches for what you do where you do it.

If interested in how to maximize your results, please let me know on this thread.

Thanks!

There is no way to truly force Google to index any content. Generally Google will discover your pages via outside links or, or through the suggestions made by your sitemap xml file IF you've submitted one to them.

I call them suggestions because Google will decide to index your content based on merits such as relevancy, domain authority , title tags, and many more signals. In fact there are over 200 signals that Google uses to rank content, so even if your pages get indexed, they may not be listed on the first page or even second page.
There are ways to maximize your efforts. But you must be patient and not give up if you don't see immediate results.

From my own research, you get the best ranking from having a lot of clicks from a high ranked site, and somewhat from how many people click from your site to other high ranked sites.

I designed a page for an author about corvettes. We were able to hit the third page after submitting our link to several other popular sites such as corvette world. The more traffic you generate, the better your ranking will be.

You may have less traffic than similar sites, but still have a higher ranking because of the quality of traffic. Here's an example. Say you have a social networking site. You receive most of your traffic from Facebook and myspace links. Because they are so highly ranked, it will be quality traffic. Where as Joe Schmoe's social networking site receives most of his traffic from netlog and bebo. He may have 10 or 15% more traffic, but a lower ranking because most of his traffic is of a lower quality than yours.

From what I understand, Google actually plays little importance on keywords. It uses indexed extraction and good webmaster practices.

Traffic does play part of it, as does time spent on page. They are some of the 200 + signals Google uses.

Keywords do play a part but not the part many think. The keyword meta tag is useless. Placing key terms at the beginning of a title, using them in the opening paragraph of the page, having them in the H1 tag ( not a huge factor any more but still helps) and having them in a URL are some important things.

Quick note, else where someone added that h2, h3 tags help. They don't. Not one bit. You should use them as a matter of form to split a page into sections, but not for SEO

An interesting point is made above. You may have more traffic than another page but lower search ranking. If that's the case and your traffic is converting better than the higher ranked sight, your more successful.Build on that but don't break it.


There's a lot more to this game than clicks and ranking.

Keep in mind that with Googles recent changes, many results are personalized, even if your not logged in. So what you see for SERPS may not be what the guy in the next desk sees ;-)

There are tons of factors that do influence Google, and they don't publish them. I just made note of what I've used successfully.

Even then, I was based on a single key word, not multiple ones. My ranking was based on the authors name, not a general topic. Far harder to calculate and control.
