Search engine rankings dropping…cant get gallery indexed…any ideas?
My site gallery, https://gallery.kristenwestlake.com is having problems getting indexed in Google. I upgraded to a new gallery because they said I could add unique meta tags. All of my product pages have meta tags (i.e. - https://gallery.kristenwestlake.com/ViewProduct.asp?misc=9&prod=419) however to get to these pages you need to first go to my gallery at https://gallery.kristenwestlake.com/ select a category (still no keywords yet) and then select an actual images before you get to the product pages with the meta tags. At this point, the gallery doesn’t have the capabilities to add metas to those first pages and I cant afford more programming. Now another thing I am noticing is that many of the product pages, both with and without metas are not being indexed well if at all. I only see a cache for about 1/15 of the pages i try and some I don’t see the entire page. Im so confused. Any ideas on why pages aren’t being indexed ell or at all. Im running out of resources:(
First off, your site has not robots.txt to block anything, so you don’t have to worry about that blocking anything.
Second, your meta description and meta keywords are both blank. You might want to try actually putting something relevant there, especially the description meta tag. (If you right-click, view source on your page, underneath your title, you’ll see two lines that start with "<meta" and those are what I’m talking about.)
Third, your site designer really needs to put the css (cascading style steet) data for that page (index page) into a separate file and reference the file. It’s way too long to put on the pages.
Your header is in and iframe? It really shouldn’t be and should be part of the page. Hey, at least the meta description and keywords content for the iframe is very definite keyword spamming, so whoever is coding the site is consistently inconsistent in doing everything wrong - and they’re even referencing a separate style sheet for the header iframe code. Very good. Grr.
Every part of your pagesis a separate page that’s got its own separate coding that is not part of the overall page’s coding. Not well done from a search engine optimization perspective, but it looks good. It’s just the darn coding that’s only giving you partially cached pages and not indexed pages that have been there a while. (New pages could take a while to get listed.)
While the site and the pictures are absolutely beautiful, the coding itself is really not doing you any favors. It looks good, but the coding stinks as far as optimizing for any search engine.
You could start your own blog on your site and that would be a big help.
You could write lots of great articles for your target audience, and that will help a lot.
But from the look of things, it seems more like you’d better learn a little bit about SEO (search engine optimization) yourself. Just a tiny bit would show you how non-search engine friendly your site’s coding is. And getting more into it, like me, would absolutely boil your blood. (I don’t sell anything so please don’t think I’m trying to get you to change services.)
There is a free seo ebook available at: http://www.divinewrite.com/seosecrets.htm to help get you started. It’s really good for a free book.
Sorry to bear bad news. Maybe you could buy a link from Yahoo! to get into the directory here… That would certainly be a link to your gorgeous gallery.

Google says that you need at least 1 backlink to stay indexed.
So you need to build at least 1 incoming link ( backlink) to your gallery to this to become indexed.

Ok. A bit of free advice. Start a blog and set it up so that you have one page per posting. Write in your blog for your first posting with a link to your site. Talk about your site and add a text link. Its easy. "Come and see the best gallery on the site" thats what you write or something more appropriate. Then go to the top of the post and you will see a link. In the link type in your url and what you have just done is created a text link. Do this two or three times a day forever (it seems) and you will start to get some serious results. While your at it put adsense on your site. It will pay for your hosting.
I just checked and your pagerank is greyed. You might want to send G an email and ask then to get re-indexed.

My advise here is to use distinct and unique titiles for your products pages………..
If your have same/matching titles all your product pages and google bot might think that these pages might be same………so it might delay the indexing process…………
See search engines are always looking out for something new and fresh…………………
Using diff titles can made them think that your all products pages are new and unique………………..
Thus will help in getting all pages indexed fastly in google……
Other thing, why don’t you add a link to your gallery from
blog, forum , or submit a small article in buzzle.com…………..
This will surely help in indexing of your Gallery Page
