Indexing of Internal pages

[greview]

My site is one month old today and so far I have no internal pages indexed. How long does it normally take? With the way the googlebot has been hitting my site this month(about 250 visits) I would think I would have something other than the home page indexed.

Well, you have 563 pages indexed in yahoo. Problem is, 562 of them cannot be found.

you probably made some changes recently

How clean is your source code? You have to remember that the bot has to be able to crawl your site and "see" the links. There are tools out there to test how your code looks to a spider. Do a search and you'll find some good stuff (try seochat.com)

It sure looks like you have sent both Google and yahoo for a loop with duplicate and removed pages. It will probably take awhile before the bots get your site sorted out in their heads.

Thanks for the link. The problem that I have found is that someone once owned my domain name and has links still set up that are going no where because his site no longer exist but the spiders are still hitting some of those links because there is a blog out there pointing to these pages even though none of them were mine. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this.
As far as the home page goes I currently rank on page one of google for several keyword phrases although not very competive but they are bringing in some traffic.

WOW, I see what you mean. I found lots of blogger links from 2005, amongst other things. First thing you need to do is setup a custom 404 error page, then maybe look into a 301 redirect or something. Most of the links are to the directory subfolder, start there.

I'm doing 301 redirects and boy do I have my work cut out for me. So far I have counted over 200 links that need redirected. This should'nt hurt me in the serps right? May be a good thing because there has been alot of lost traffic to these links.

Hmmm, decent info, but i expected/hoped to see some sort of an analysis of the actually spidering process of sorts...I.E what links the spider will follow and such...anything like that around?
