Google - Don't Forget The Bread & Butter Crawling!

I was just adding some content to my Olympics blog and noticed that newly posted content was being added into the serps instantly - but pages on the site that I'd hard-coded in still aren't in a week later.

I know it ranks well (at the moment) for one of the most important phrases of next year, but it still isn't loved enough to deep (cough - one link deep) crawl. But surely they shouldn't be relying so heavily on leveraging our RSS feeds or Feedburner to find new content!

Surely doesn't having an RSS feed for non-blog sites become even more important now? I've even been trying to get one of my clients to create an RSS feed for the past two years with no luck!

Does anyone else have any issues with non blog content on their blog domain?
