I loaded about 15,000 pages, letters A & B of a dictionary and submitted to google a text site map. I'm using google's search with advertisement as the planned mechanism to go through my site. Google's webmaster accepted the site mapps as good but then did not index. My index page has been indexed by google and at this point have not linked to any pages.
So to get google's search to work I need to get all my content indexed. It appears google will not just index from the site map and so I was thinking of adding pages that spider in links from the main index page. But I don't want to create a bunch of pages that programicly link all of the pages without knowing if this has a chance to work. Eventually I plan on having about 150,000 pages each page being a word or phrase being defined. I wrote a program that is pulling this from a dictionary database. I would like to prove the content that I have to anyone interested to show the value of the dictionary in releation to the dictionary software that I'm completing. Suggestions for getting the entire site indexed by google so I can appear in the search results?
Thanks
Google crawling takes time, specially for new sites/domains. The sitemaps you submit are just "informational" for Google and don't necessarily mean that everything there will be indexed.
Some notes:
You should start to see your pages crawled hourly/daily (depending on the update frequency) and appearing in Search Engines in about 2 weeks-2 months (mines usually take 1 month for me to be considered "crawled"). Something you can do meanwhile is to get backlinks from other websites and keep checking Webmaster Tools to see Google's crawling rate.
Good luck! :)
