My Web Site has been visited by the Google spider and Yahoo but they have not gone deep into my web site. Does anyone know how to cause them to visit all pages within the site? I do have the usual meta tag <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> but it seems to only list my home page and not other pages. Thanks
My web site is
 
nothing there of interest for the spiders to crawl. Get some content on there rather than a bunch of UNRELATED links. To the SE algo it looks like a link farm.

Thanks for replying, so the reason the spider won’t grab the links that lead to my content pages is because of the lack of content on the index page? I am doing ok in Yahoo for the Keywords I have on the page, I am on page 2 or 3 but in Google I am in the way way back. So it is grabbing my page but won’t grab other pages and it’s because of lack content?
 
basically yes, over the past few months Google have been slowly squeezing out what appear to be link farms.

Assuming you pull the details for the link from a database, why not pull a little more text from another field and add that to the page as a snippet of text alongside the link.

I am not pooling the details to the links from a database. Could you give me an illustration on what you would do to cause the spider to follow the links if this where your site? Thank you for your help in advance.
 
ok brief site review.

Your site has nothing to distinguish it from the millions of other ticket sales/affiliate pages out there including these which seem to share a phone number?

totaluptickets.com
t3-tickets.com
but that aside, the main thing the SEs want to find is unique content which is lacking on most of your pages.
personally I would be adding some relevant text around the links in the centre page for a start then build from there.

Maybe on the band pages for your concerts include brief bios about the band for that page. You can find them on the band's main website. Same thing for the sports tickets, etc. Not just that, but talking about the band will increase the keyword density and size of the page simultaneously and help it to rank better for the band's (or sport team's) name.
