Why are some of page indexed and others not
-
I have created a site structure like this:
domain/for-sale/brand
domain/for-sale/brand-model
domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg1
domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg2
domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg3 etc....
I cannot understand why the domain/for-sale/brand-model does not seem to be indexed, yet the domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg6 is?
This is a new site, but I cannot understand why this URL would be indexed without the others...
Any ideas?
My home pages has links to the domain/for-sale/brand, this page has links to domain/for-sale/brand-model1, domain/for-sale/brand-model2 etc, each of these pages have links to domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg1, domain/for-sale/brand-model/pg2 etc...

When you're sure the page/ pages is/are accessible (no noindex )
and there is unique, text on the pages
and your pagerank >0
Google will index the page sooner or later. A good backlink or some social media posts can help.

Think you have to throw a sitemap up and do some social bookmarking and just wait. I know its infuriating esp if you've worked on site that index the same day.

I have search for the actual URL and it is not coming up in google.
I have submitted a site map including all URLs in WMT
Any similar pages that were there before have been 301'd
-
Have you tried to search for a term on one of those not listed pages? Perhaps they are just far back in the search result?
Did you try to submit the url with WMT to have it indexed faster?
Do you have any old urls you can do 301 redirects from to the new not listed pages?
Did you as Kevin suggested submit a sitemap?
-
It is an old site that just has a new design and structure. There are lots of search terms for these pages. I just don't understand why page 6 of search results would be indexed when page 1, 2, 3... are not.

Google f.e. will not crawl every page of your site. In fact, they may become aware of pages that they choose not to crawl because they are not likely to be important enough to return in a search result. Beacuse you have a new site, you need time and backlinks. If your content is unique, and when you get some strong relevant backlinks, more pages will be indexed soon.
-
Did you add a sitemap? If you do have a sitemap with these pages (and if everything is correct) give it some time.
If the pages are dynamically generated, and no links to these pages, the bots will not find them (or at least not very easily).

Too many on page links
Hello, I have a page that isn't ranking very well. http://nicontrols.com/uk/drives-motors/variable-speed-drives According to the MOZ research tools I have too many on page links. I believe most of these are a result of the advanced filtration options on the left hand side of the page. I don't want to remove the filters as they are extremely useful for customers but I am also worried about the number of links Anyone get any ideas about the number of links? Should I care?

Too many on-page links
Hi, My website - www.thepartyhouse.com.au is showing as having too many on-page links for over 4,000 pages. Take for example the homepage which is showing as 188 links, but I don't understand this because I've used SEO tools to display the links and I am showing around 90 links on this page. How can I see what all the links are? Thanks

Third party pages
Suppose you are using a third party tool such as an affiliate program. Typically, all the files are organized under one subdirectory. In addition, you may have little or no ability to modify any of the files in terms of SEO. Would you recommend hiding the entire subdirectory with a noindex? Best,
