Actually the content is the same, only translated from English to Malay (by human, not google translate). The main index page is English though, so I don't understand why that would stop Google seeing it. Does it not visit the index page first and then follow the robot txt?
not seeing pages is the problem, their relevance.

If i swapped the language pages around until they discover all pages and then swap them back..... is that naughty..... or fiendishly clever?
no, don't help. Google index is dynamic, if a page is relevant today must remain relevant else will be removed.

it career is also right.
best regards
The word relevance seems to be thrown around a lot. I'm no where near as experienced in web building and seo as many of the members here so i'm keen learn the meaning of the word relevant in relation to websites.
Half of my site (in Malay) is clearly relevant and indexed, the other half in English...not relevent.
When i type the words "English Grammar Proofreading" into Google i get 2 1/2 million results. I believe that my content is richer and fuller than any of the top 3 results and from my dictionary, more relevant to the phrase i typed. So what is the Google meaning of the word relevance? It feels like a complicated french recipe..... just add unions, tomatoes and a splash of relevance to taste.
Thoughts?
I have had other subdomained or free host websites and without exception, they have all been indexed in their entirety. Having said that, I can see how a hosting account would be more attractive to a search engine, but it hasn't affected my indexing in the past.
Thanks all for answering, please keep the thoughts coming.

Thanks oesxyl. I don't wish to sound ungrateful but in my first message, i said that I have researched and researched.
webmaster tools - I already have. Thats how I know which pages have been indexed and where I submitted my sitemap.
15 minute SEO - Talks about keyword density, title tags, H1 tags, Alt tags, Meta tags etc. All of which i have been through.
Spider tools - Just told me - This page looks like it is optimised for:
grammar [7.3] * grammarproof [7.4] * proof reading [8.7] * proof [8.3] * reading [7.1] (which pretty well defines my site.
seotoolset - tried all the links. Only problem found was that i have 56 keywords instead of 48
It seems that no one on Coding Forums has the answer to this one.....and the frustration continues......

Wait now, maybe I missed it but have the pages been crawled but not indexed? Are you certain first that these Enlgish pages have even been viewed by the Google webcrawler?

Yep, from the 224 visitors, (many of which came from Digg and Stumble)
I was visited by Mountain View on Monday 16th November at 09.00 and

I also tried them through a couple of proxy servers, such as http://www.docoja.com/red/
and got the same result.
If Google is seeing the same thing I'm seeing then that would explain why
some of your pages aren't being indexed, they all point to the 404 error page
and look like duplicated content.
Sorry about that. I decided to bite the bullet today and have transferred all but my Malay pages to a new site at www.grammarproofing.com You must have been looking when i was mid-flow so to speak.
So now I have the unliked English pages all looking pretty in one place, Verified with Google and Yahoo, Sitemap etc etc....
Will be interesting to see if it gets picked up.
(its been a long day, but hopefully worth the effort)
I shall keep this thread posted on developments but thatnks to all that answered. Sad that i couldn't get a definitive answer but i guess it is what it is eh.

Ran it through the W3C Validator http://validator.w3.org/
There were a few errors, but nothing that I could see that would keep you from getting listed.

Keep us posted. Good luck.
Looks like you got there after i fixed most of the errors but some i couldn't figure out at all. (I think i'll save those for another thread)
And Profitweb. I hadn't submitted to Analytics yet so thanks for the top-tip reminder. Its done now.
If i read the recipe correctly, i pop the contents into a google oven, set the timer to wait, and sit back until the traffic starts to roll on in. (just hope i put enough yeast into the mix)
