Google indexed pages question

[travisbickle]

I went to uptimebot and entered my site and found that Google had only indexed only a couple hundred of my pages. The web site is a database of private schools and I have almost 30,000 pages on the site. The site has been up for almost 5 years. Can anyone tell me why the entire contents have not been indexed after so long? The site is www.eschoolsearch.com

I don't have sites over six months old or near that many pages but MSN and Yahoo do a far better job of indexing my pages than Google ever has. I cannot figure out the reason. MSN and Yahoo account for 99.9% of my traffic. It'd be nice to crack into Google but it seems tough. One of my sites is 1st on MSN, on the first page of Yahoo, but listed 241 on Google. Go figure.

I went to Google direct and put in:

site:eschoolsearch.com esearchforit

and 36,700 results came up instead of 440. So I guess this means all my pages are indexed?
