Next to no google indexing after 2 months.

I've had vbseo for well over a month.. probably two now and yet i only have 187 entry's in google? I have the sitemap plugin as well and it shows google views about 2-3,000 things a day... and on the od day about 25,000. Also ive noticed all the entries are just the forum names and members pages... no threads what causes this?

Yahoo has indexed pretty much every page of the site in this time! Also when i turned vbseo off for a day google indexed a few more pages with the standard URL...

Is there any settings i might need to modify? If not im just going to ditch VBSEO..

Perhaps you have been sandboxed?

sandboxed? It was fine on my old URL. Then i purchased a new domain just for the forums and moved them there... (got vbseo @ the same time as the move)

New domains is difficult these days, and it is likely sandboxed. Also do you have enough incoming links/PR?

I would say the number of pages indexed by Google will depend on your PR, low PR few pages and high PR lot more pages.

Have you compared the site saturation of the old domain to the new by using the query site:www.yourdoman.org ? You may want to make a sitemap and submit to Google if you do not have many pages indexed.

site:NewURL = 185
site:OldUrl = 80,900

Urls in sitemaps i submit = 300,000+

I have the vbseo sitemap plugin. And google downloads the sitemaps and spiders daily. Yet no pages are added.

Wow, that is quite a difference.
Is the old url still active on the web?
If so did you do a 301 redirect?

Maybe you are not getting link value from inbound links for the old url..

Yeap the old url is still active and has a 301 redirect in a .htaccess file.

Code:

RedirectMatch Permanent /forums/(.*)$ http://www.newurl.net/$1

That is vey interesting. I would turn it off for a few days and then see how the saturation changes, if it does.

Pretty weird results from Google, though.

You may want to post in a forum like searchenginewatch or webmasterworld, maybe soneone has an idea of what is going on.

I would switch it off but then all the links to my forums in yahoo and what not wont work. I still havent had any more pages indexd. I just dont get why it would only index the forum categories and not the posts. It's starting to piss me off :/

Attached is my Spider Log.. So why google isnt showing what it spiders is beyond me.

It takes time to show up in their indexes. Your stats look good. Google is collecting a lot of data.
