Have a look on this search where you can see that just my main page is indexed.

But why does Google/Search engines not take arda-maps.org/about/ and the other subpages? Is my deep linking done in a wrong way? Do the search engines need more time? If they do need more time why is the forum – which came very late – already indexed?

And by clicking the links I’m loading the “subpages” via hiding and showing of layers. Maybe it’s because of that?

  1. You don’t seem to have a robots.txt. It is always good idea to implement one. This might explain your issue, because when Google does not find one it stops crawling websites. Check for warnings or error messages in Google Webmaster Tools.

    I have also seen that site:arda-maps.org returns urls with www. You should implement a redirect from www to non-www URLs.

    Keep in mind that the site command does not return all indexed pages.

    Your About page does not have a NOINDEX tag which is good. I have noticed you have a sitemap.xml and that your About page is in there. If the issue persists, this probably means Google thinks your page is not worth indexing.

  2. I didn’t see index-follow tag in your html code. It’s better to have it

    <meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
    

    Also you can do two more things. Go to GWT > Crawl > Fetch as Google and submit some of your pages. Also click on the Sitemaps button in the left menu and submit your sitemap.
    Also you can share pages from your site in Twitter or Google+, everything posted there is indexed very fast.

    Wish you luck,
