Hi there
The site in my profile was really bad before. It had no internal linking before and had a good itnernal linking structure set up so that all articles are at the most 3 clicks down from the homepage, and well, it seems that all the way to click 2 everything is being indexed accordingly, but if you get down to the article level, it seems that nothign is being indexed. For example, it goes like this
Homepage > Category > Article
All the way to the category excellent indexing, but nothing further.
All URLs aer included in the sitemap and have good internal linking.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks

Tell us a little about the articles.
Are they unique and original? What sort of size are the article pages, and how much unique copy do they contain?
Are they well focused and is there a focus to each category?
Are ANY of them indexed? Is there any pattern at all to which ones? (oldest, biggest, smallest, etc).

Hi, we have over 45,000,000 articles
many of them are 100 original. They seem to rank high on any other sites. for example we give articles to find articles and they seem to rank #1 on their site, so basically they are like our outsource SEO.
On our site, I even provided 20% more text than the ones we give to find articles and well, they still rank higher.
At the publication level (magazine or newspaper name) we rank higher than find articles, but at the article level we seem not to be able to rank for the specific articles.
It just weird. Any comments appreciated. Can you see anything that would make the articles not ebing indexed?

gotohollywood, I'm seeing 563,000 articles indexed. Or at least that's what Google is reporting that they have indexed.
Most likely those other articles (the ones appearing on other sites) are getting crawled before they're crawled on your site. Therefore, the first one who gets crawled is the original--and then the articles on your site are duplicates so Google ignores them.

I have noticed that google for a few weeks now (sicne I implemented the internal linking strategy) has now given the option to set the crawl to fast. So I believe that google has a problem crawling/indexing the urls.
Find articles we have given them our content even months after we publish it, and even we give them 20% less characters of each article, so that we are better SEOd than them, but it seems that its not working.
Seems that the problem is doign the deep crawl.
they get to the publications but not to the articles.
I have even checked that we dont have any funky redirects and anythign else that could cause a crawl/indexing issue, but still noting 
If you make a search in google for
Correction.(Snapshot)(Correction notice)
you will see that find articles is # 2 with the actual article and our site is like number 5 (but with the publication) Seems that they are really having a problem indexing past the publications.

Oh, and plus, our site has a PR 8, has been in business longer and well, should get crawled first (specially with the linking structure that is in place)
This site actually used to rank very very good in the 90s I even remember seeing it all over the place when I was in college, but after it switched to .net most the traffic dissapeared.

new finding
It seems that we had a NOARCHIVE tag on all articles. Ive seen that some jsut say no to use them since a site can be buried in the results.
Has anyone used this tag and still ranked high?
