 * Hello, I’ve created several pages (not posts) on my WordPress blog. I have a 
   sitemap, Google crawls my site daily, and lists my POSTS in its engine. However,
   the PAGES don’t seem to get indexed. Why is that?

 * Are the pages linked to?

 * I’m posting the pages by clicking on “Page-add new” in the WordPress interface.

 * Yes, but do you LINK to them from your site?
 * See, Google etc can only find posts and pages that are linked to 🙂 If there 
   are no incoming links, they’ll never find it.

 * I did not link to the pages from any blog posts. I assumed Google is notified
   through the all-in-one SEO pack and XML sitemap about any updates; whether it
   be posts or pages. Is that correct???

 * Depends greatly on the XML sitemap, and if you added pages to it. The best way
   is to actually link to the pages (via a menu or a link in a post, or the sidebar
   etc). Natural link paths 🙂
