Why does Google say my site is 3 times the actual size?

My site is 3k pages - Google has 10k listed

[wfernley]

Well the title pretty much sums it up. Google says it has 10k pages listed for my site. My site is roughly 3k pages or less.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Thanks!

Do you have any dynamic content on the site? It is possible that Hoogle is hitting some pages with variables, so one page could be viewed as many pages.

Best way to do it would be to have a search through what pages google has indexed and figure it out from there.

You have to check first- whether is it happening in case of Yahoo or MSN .If that is the case then you have to identify the possibilities from the cached pages.

And if it is not the case then you have to particulary analyze google cached pages.For instance the static content as well as the dynamic content.

My guess G has indexed just over 1K of 3K pages and 10x reporting problem [webmasterworld.com...] applies

Thank you for the link. So I see this could be causing a loss of rankings for my site.

I noticed them talking about a 303 redirect. Will this fix the problem? Or does it only fix the non-www problem? By the way, what is that problem? :)

Thanks again for your replies!
