Question
Why don't search engines list the pages within my main site?
I have my main website as well as a blog on a subdomain. I post updates to my main website with simple .html file extensions, and I can post those same updates (or completely different ones) on my Wordpress-based blog. Now the differences is the pages on the blog are indexed by Google and other search engines, but the pages on the main site are not. I can do a keyword search for anything in the update and it shows me my blog page, but it won't show me the content on the .html pages that are on the main site. I'd really rather not use the Wordpress blog as it's limiting (crippling) my ability to learn how to do these sort of things myself. I'm starting simple with .html extensions and hope to use this project to teach myself more than html. Any ideas? Thanks.

Usually, when you post anything in your wordpress blog it pings pingomatic service (by default) or even more ping services (on demand). So Google is being notified of your blog posts almost instantly. Try to use pingomatic on your main site as well. Go to pingomatic ... , check all services and click Send Pings. Save this url so you can make a link and put it on your website and press it every time you add a static html page. You can also use AddThis service - addthis.com and use digg.com to submit your articles. I hope that helps. Oh, don't forget to use Google Sitemaps service!
