Inner pages of a website can be defined as those pages that exist on a website but cannot be seen when directly accessing the main domain. Websites that keep on updating their content changes regularly and so the older pages fall out off the main index page very quickly and are therefore considered as inner pages. You might be wondering as to what happens to the links on those pages? Do they lose their value? Not exactly, let’s delve deep into the secrets of the inner pages.

A website is not totally dependent on its landing page. It consists of a cluster of inner pages that plays a vital role in making a site popular. Depending on the content of these pages, visitors flock around your site to collect some relevant information. If these inner pages are not indexed in the search engines, you cannot avail the benefits of all the extra traffic to your site. While doing page optimization one should remember to get strong links to the internal pages that are focused and effective, as they make a dramatic difference to your search engine ranking.

Few Step to Make Sure that your Inner Pages are Indexed

•    Improve the site navigation system: A good interlinking structure boosts the page rank of the inner pages and enables the search engine spiders to find and follow all your links. An excellent navigation system will ensure that every page is completely optimized and contains the optimum number of links from other pages letting all the inner as well as the home page to rank higher.

•    Create an html site map with text links to all your pages: The main section of your website should contain a site map that makes a text link to each of your pages. You can put a descriptive text under the link as this will help the visitors to choose a particular page easily.

•    Check the current indexing position of your website: Verify whether the search engine spiders find your main page and follow the links to the inner pages until all of them have been indexed.
If you site structure is properly built then all your pages will be indexed with the major search engines.

•    Google sitemap programs: Google organizes sitemap programs to guide the webmasters to create their website pages that can be easily found by Google spiders. For this you need to create an XML file and upload this to the main directory of your website.
