Hi guys,

I'm sure some of you SEOs can help me interpret what's happening with my site in the search engines.

Here's some info about SE inclusion and link popularity related to my real estate site.

SE: SE Inclusion/Link Popularity
Google: 23/26
HotBot: 23/0
AllTheWeb: 182/452
Alta Vista: 1/458
Lycos: 1/0
MSN: 26/120
AOL: 23/26
Yahoo: 1/461

Here are my questions:
1. Google crawls the site almost every day. I added several link pages a while back. Google updates the cache on some of my pages every time it visits, but hasn't even cached the new pages yet. How come? Will it ever?

2. Yahoo sees 461 links to my page, but only crawls the home page??? How can I get it to index the rest of the pages?

3. I'm puzzled about the fact that AllTheWeb thinks I've got 182 pages, but I don't really care about that unless its a problem.

4. MSN is the only engine where I appear high on the SERPS for any of my keywords for the home page. I recently updated the site to do what I thought was some better meta tag optimization. Shortly thereafter, tho it could be unrelated, MSN went from thinking I had 101 pages down to the current 26.

The sites only really been around since the middle of March, but I am finding the behavior of the SEs quite mystifying.

Any ideas, insight, input, explanations or advice is welcomed.

Thanks,

Kathleen
