Hello Stew !<div><br></div><div>Just some thoughts.</div><div><br></div><div>PmWiki isn't guilty, it works nicely with Google.</div><div>It's up to you to organize your site with Google (and other) in mind : use titles, use links, use menu.</div>
<div><br></div><div>At first sight, it is very difficult to see where to go when you surf at : <a href="http://gml-reference.co.cc/">http://gml-reference.co.cc/</a> ; no links to internal pages ; </div><div>the links in the left menu are very cryptic and link to no-existing pages : you should link to existing pages ; </div>
<div>if you need a page where to collect todo pages, not yet existing pages, use a special one.</div><div><br></div><div>Do a basic page called SiteMap with a pagelist listing every usable page (:pagelist group=-PmWiki,-Site :). </div>
<div>You can use footer and header to include some navigation item (create a basic navigation bar in some page : SiteMap | Backlink | Search | Contact | etc. and include it in your GroupHeader).</div><div>Link every page to another page (backlink, grouplink, categorylink).</div>
<div>Create rss link in a footer (<a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebFeeds">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebFeeds</a>).</div><div>Create every group home page (Extra/Extra ; GML/GML) and write an easy description : what is this group about, what is done, to do, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This way, your pages should be better indexed.</div><div>If someone links your site, you will get more traffic.</div><div>It also depends what your site is about : cryptic subject should generate less traffic than win-an-iphone or see-hot-girls**...</div>
<div>does you need trafic ? ;)</div><div>If yes, on your home page, explain what is your site about, and use !! titles ; help the visitor ; do better leftmenu ; link to external reference site (GML language, link to Wikipedia if you don't want to write a page), so Google will see and maybe understand.</div>
<div><br></div><div>*5 minutes later, I see your ListOfCompletedPages : write it at the top of your page. </div><div>**using a pretty girl as your logo will help (if she uses an iphone, it's the best I guess).</div><div>
<br></div><div>Hope this can help a little ;)</div><div><br></div><div>Gilles.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/12/22 Stew_822 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stew822@gmail.com">stew822@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Hi there everyone! I'm not really quite 100% sure how to use this thingy correctly, so please forgive any mistakes <img src="cid:1293057757.4179.7.camel@snazzy-pc" align="middle" alt=":)" border="0"><br>
Anyway, I've been having quite an odd problem with PmWIki: Only the first page is noticed by google. You can see what I mean by going to <br>
<a href="http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=site:gml-reference.co.cc" target="_blank">http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=site:gml-reference.co.cc</a><br>
Anyway, I really don't know what's going wrong. I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light? I have CleanURLS and that's about it. I don't hav robots.txt or google sitemaps or anything like that. <br>
Any help would be appreciated greatly <img src="cid:1293057757.4179.7.camel@snazzy-pc" align="middle" alt=":)" border="0"><br>
thanks :)<br>

Oh and I waited about 3-5 months, so please don't tell me to waited longer hehe <img src="cid:1293057757.4179.8.camel@snazzy-pc" align="middle" alt=";)" border="0">. I think if google was going to pick it up, it would have done so by now <img src="cid:1293057757.4179.7.camel@snazzy-pc" align="middle" alt=":)" border="0">
