How many of my pages are indexed?

I know there's a way

[ChrisXenon]

I've done this before but can't rremember how. It's not in the Google FAQ here, nor in any post I can find. Apologies if I've missed it.

I want to know how many of my pagesd Google has indexed.

Anyone know how?

Cheers,
Chris

BTW, why is it that different SE's have different results? Here's mine:

Google 474
Fast 238
Alta Vista 217
Hotbot 100
Norther Light 7

Why the big difference?

Go to the advanced search, enter a term that you know is on all of your pages (I use a word from my site name) and under the domain option enter your domain and check 'only' return sites from that domain.

Frank, all search engines are completely free to index whatever they want.
FAST at this time has the largest index of them all, followed closely by Google. Both do 2 Bill + some.

AV counts some 1 Bill.

None of them give any guarantees on indexing. The web is estimated to hold at least some 3-4 Bill. pages.

There are two main arguments to convince SEs to index your pages: inclusion fees, and lots of incoming links.

try this for google

site:www.url.co.uk your site

side note searching like this for WmW shows 5,330 pages indexed :) Geee is that all

[josmond]

try this for google

allinurl:yourdomain.com

as the search criteria ;-)

Thanks guys,

site:url doesn't work for me.
allinurl:url shows only two pages, but when I remove the supression of similar pages, the other 480 spring up.

Spookily, if I type allinrul:url (i.e. introduce a typo) is gives me 30 pages. Strange.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

> site:url doesn't work for me.

You need something like {site:url url} or {site:url -notaword} (without the brackets) where "notaword" does not appear in your site and where url is the domain.

> Spookily, if I type allinrul:url (i.e. introduce a typo) is gives me 30 pages. Strange.

Google ignores "allinrul:" and searches for pages mentioning "url".

chris , try this:

-asdasdasdasdasdasda site:www.yoururl.com

it will get you a result of really all pages that are indexed in google, trust me ;)

There's a real easy way to find out!! Go here: [google.com ]
On this page you can register for the free search engine on your site. After you obtain your username & password and enter it, a page will come up where you can customize your search parameters. On this page Google lists an actual number as to how how pages are currently indexed. During the dance, it is not stable, obviously, but after that it's fine.

OK Thanks guys.
