My website has been nearing a milestone for the past couple of weeks as the site approached the 1,000 page mark in Google. I had been watching this closely (with some pride) as the number in Google's index climbed.

Over the past couple of days, the number stood at 999 using the site:www.foo.com command. Today I noticed something interesting. The same command that returned 999 pages over the last several days now shows 9,140 pages. Quite a jump. Now I understand why everyone's been talking about inflated page numbers. I was wondering if this happened only for sites in excess of 1,000 pages in Google's index. For someone that just crossed this milestone, that was my experience.
