Only index page imports

I am trying to import www.kylemoretourism.ie - but only the index page is imported. I have ticked 'entire site'. Any suggestions as to why I am unsuccessful?

the links in this site are not search engine friendly links.

the links point to folder roots, for example:
/duke-manchester'
/benedictine-community
/kylemoreabbey-history

site import will look for an index page in the folder root named index.htm, index.html, index.php, indx.asp or index.cfm but no index page can be found in any of the folders. This is causing the import to break.

Jason, is there any way of knowing in advance, whether a site can be completely imported using 'site import' from WA - can you tell from viewing something?

well, if the navigation for the site is Flash or javascript driven, site import will not be able to work properly, other than that , there's no way to tell from looking at it if it will import.

It really depends on how search engine friendly the site is.
