How do you know if your pages are indexed?

[Eric in Tennessee]

I tried to post this in Google news, maybe that is the wrong place for it.
Anyway, as infantile as this question probably is to most everyone here I must ask because I cannot find the answer.

How do you know, without manually clicking through all the SERPs, if your pages have been indexed?

Thanks for the advice,

oops --> I meant to put this is General Webmaster. Feel free to move it to the appropriate place.

Try searching for:

site:widgetworld.com -fssggsfsgdsds

It will show all the indexed pages of that site that do not contain the nonsense term.

allinurl:widgetworld.com

does the same

So what's the difference. For my domain, site: mysite.com -asdfasdf returns almost 10,000 more pages then allinurl:mysite.com

Is one more accurately showing the amount of indexed pages or is it just a google estimation thing.

... and you will start getting some traffic.
presuming that yo have optimized your pages in such a way, that they come up in the first few pages of searchresults.

eztrip: using site:widgetworld.com -fssggsfsgdsds only returns results from your site, whereas allinurl:widgetworld.com also returns pages from other sites that contain part of your url-string in their url. At least this is the case with one of my sites where my domain name is part of the affiliate code inside the merchants urls.

For checking on being indexed, I therefore stay with the first solution.
Hope this helps

First off, thanks for the replies.

Am I assuming correctly that if you have page rank that you have been indexed?

I asked this in another thread, but I think it got buried.

There seems to be a different number of results when I check for say www.abc.com where it may say something like 2 out of 149... and then at bottom when you click omitted results it will say 10 out of 225... which is the right count? Thanks.

PS On another site I read you can search like this:
inurl:abc.com site:abc.com

This may be same as using the weird letters after site though...
