1) I had a forum with almost 2000 links on one page.
Google didn't index it.
In responce to a suggestion someone made here, I rewrote
the forum so it pages through the topics, never showing more
than 40 links at a time.
Now the entire forum is indexed.
2) I have a CMS generated site (makes static pages) that
includes hundreds of how-to-do-it boat building
photo sequences.
Many of those pages had maybe a half a dozen links,
and one photo with a short, single sentence caption.
None of those low-text pages were indexed.
I reworked the CMS so it tacks a list of comma-delimited
keywords at the bottom of each page. I try to make the
keywords relevant to the page. But they ARE NOT in
a sentence--just a list of words, like:
"marine plywood, epoxy, fiberglass, stitch and glue, etc"
All those pages are now indexed. Google clearly has
a lower bound on text, below which they don't bother to
index. Further, it doesn't seem to matter that much what the
text is. Supply enough text and they will index it.
3) Just as a curiosity test, I put the made-up word "onamoxible"
at the bottom of one page. A few days later a keyword
search on onamoxible turned up that page. I then removed it.
Onamoxible, now a few weeks later, usually turns up nothing.
But sometimes it still turns up. So some of their servers
are out-of-synch (some still return onamixible, some don't).
