Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Doesn't seem to be working for me.

Thanks this is helpful. I will work on funneling spiders. I assume I'll need a healthy dose of both internal and external links pointing deep into the site in order to get the spider to start chewing in there? Thanks.

We have a large E-commerce site (magento based) and have submitted sitemap files for several million pages within Webmaster tools. The number of indexed pages seems to fluctuate, but currently there is less than 300,000 pages indexed out of 4 million submitted. How can we get the number of indexed pages to be higher? Changing the settings on the crawl rate and resubmitting site maps doesn't seem to have an effect on the number of pages indexed.

Am I correct in assuming that most individual product pages just don't carry enough link juice to be considered important enough yet by Google to be indexed? Let me know if there are any suggestions or tips for getting more pages indexed.
