My Google Sitemap submission was accepted but I can't find (all) my Web pages with a site:example.com search. Why doesn't Google index my Web site (completely)? Google Sitemaps KB · Index · Expand · Web Feed
Google doesn't index all pages from a Sitemap The most common misunderstanding of the Google Sitemaps program is, that a successful download of a sitemap leads to instant indexing. Although exactly that happens with Web sites in good standing, in many cases a sitemap submission alone will not result in (more) indexed Web pages. To understand why Google doesn't owe sitemap submitters unverified instant listings (of possible bulk junk), please read these quotes from the Google Sitemaps Homepage: ...Google Sitemaps is an experiment in web crawling. By using Sitemaps to inform and direct our crawlers, we hope to expand our coverage of the web and speed up the discovery and addition of pages to our index... It helps to refine your expectations back to the reality outlined above. A Google Sitemap is not a free ticket to the search index. Every URL submitted via XML sitemap has to pass the same quality checks as every URL found in links on the Web. All URLs Google knows about are treated equally.
