      Is there a way to get a list of pages that google has indexed?

      Is there some software that can do this?

      I do not have access to webmaster tools, so hoping there is another way to do this.

      Would be great if I could also see if the indexed page is a 404 or other

      Thanks for your help, sorry if its  basic question 😞

        If you want to find all your indexed pages in Google just type:  site:yourdomain.com or .co.uk or other  without the www.

          Hi John,

          Hope I'm not too late to the party! When checking URL's for their cache status I suggest using Scrapebox (with proxies).

          Be warned, it was created as a black-hat tool, and as such is frowned upon, but there are a number of excellent white-hat uses for it! Costs $57 one off 😉

            sorry to keep sending you messages but I wanted to make sure that you know SEOmoz does have a fantastic tool for what you are requesting. Please look at this link and then click on the bottom where it should says show more and I believe you will agree it does everything you've asked and more.

            http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test

            Sincerely,

            Thomas

            does this answer your question?

              What giving you a 100 limit?

              try using Raven tools or spider mate they both have excellent free trials and allow you quite a bit of information.

                Neil you are correct I agree with screaming frog is excellent they definitely will show you your site. Here is a link from SEOmoz associate that I believe will benefit you

                  this is what I am looking for 🙂 Thanks

                  Strange that there is no tool I can buy to do this in full without the 100 limit

                  Anyway, i will give that a go

                    can I get your sites URL? By the way this might be a better way into Google Webmaster tools

                    https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=sitemaps&passive=1209600&continue=https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/&followup=https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

                    if you have a Gmail account use that if you don't just sign up using your regular e-mail.

                    Of course using SEOmoz via http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test  will give you a full rundown of all of your links and how they're running. Are you not seen all of them?

                    Another tool I have found very useful. Is website analysis as well as their midsize product from Alexia

                    http://www.alexa.com/products

                    I hope I have helped,

                    Tom

                      If you don't have access to Webmaster Tools, the most basic way to see which pages Google has indexed is obviously to do a site: search on Google itself - like "site:google.com" - to return pages of SERPs containing the pages from your site which Google has indexed.

                      Problem is, how do you get the data from those SERPs in a useful format to run through Screaming Frog or similar?

                      Enter Chris Le's Google Scraper for Google Docs

                      It will let scrape the first 100 results, then let you offset your search by 100 and get the next 100, etc.. slightly cumbersome, but it will achieve what you want to do.

                      Then you can crawl the URLs using Screaming Frog or another crawler.

                        just thought I might add these links these might help explain it better than I did.

                        http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test

                        you should definitely sign up for Google Webmaster tools it is free here is a link all you need to do is add an e-mail address and password

                        http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=1724121

                          Thanks for the reply.

                          I do not have access to webmaster tools and the seomoz tools do not show a great deal of the pages on my site for some reason

                          Majestic shows up to 100 pages. Ahrefs shows some also.

                          I need to compare what google has indexed and the status of the page

                          Does screaming frog do thiss?

                            Google Webmaster tools should supply you with this information. In addition Seomoz tools will tell you that and more. Run your website through the campaign section of seomoz you will then see any issues with your website.

                            You may also want to of course use Google Webmaster tools run a test as a Google bot the Google but should show you any issues you are having such is 404's or other fun things that websites do.

                            If you're running WordPress there are plenty of plug-ins I recommend 404 returned

                            sincerely,

                            Thomas

                              My url disappeared from Google but Search Console shows indexed. This url has been indexed for more than a year. Please help!

                              Super weird problem that I can't solve for last 5 hours. One of my urls: https://www.dcacar.com/lax-car-service.html Has been indexed for more than a year and also has an AMP version, few hours ago I realized that it had disappeared from serps. We were ranking on page 1 for several key terms. When I perform a search "site:dcacar.com " the url is no where to be found  on all 5 pages. But when I check my Google Console it shows as indexed I requested to index again but nothing changed. All other 50 or so urls are not effected at all, this is the only url that has gone missing can someone solve this mystery for me please. Thanks a lot in advance.

                              Substantial difference between Number of Indexed Pages and Sitemap Pages

                              Hey there, I am doing a website audit at the moment. I've notices substantial differences in the number of pages indexed (search console), the number of pages in the sitemap and the number I am getting when I crawl the page with screamingfrog (see below). Would those discrepancies concern you? The website and its rankings seems fine otherwise. Total indexed: 2,360 (Search Consule)
                              About 2,920 results (Google search "site:example.com")
                              Sitemap: 1,229 URLs
                              Screemingfrog Spider: 1,352 URLs Cheers,
                              Jochen

                              How long takes to a page show up in Google results after removing noindex from a page?

                              Hi folks, A client of mine created a new page and used meta robots noindex to not show the page while they are not ready to launch it. The problem is that somehow Google "crawled" the page and now, after removing the meta robots noindex, the page does not show up in the results. We've tried to crawl it using Fetch as Googlebot, and then submit it using the button that appears. We've included the page in sitemap.xml and also used the old Google submit new page URL https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url Does anyone know how long will it take for Google to show the page AFTER removing meta robots noindex from the page? Any reliable references of the statement? I did not find any Google video/post  about this. I know that in some days it will appear but I'd like to have a good reference for the future. Thanks.

                              Getting Pages Requiring Login Indexed

                              Somehow certain newspapers' webpages show up in the index but require login. My client has a whole section of the site that requires a login (registration is free), and we'd love to get that content indexed. The developer offered to remove the login requirement for specific user agents (eg Googlebot, et al.). I am afraid this might get us penalized. Any insight?

                              How long does google take to show the results in SERP once the pages are indexed ?

                              Hi...I am a newbie & trying to optimize the website www.peprismine.com. I have 3 questions - A little background about this : Initially, close to 150 pages were indexed by google. However, we decided to remove close to 100 URLs (as they were quite similar). After the changes, we submitted the NEW sitemap (with close to 50 pages) & google has indexed those URLs in sitemap. 1. My pages were indexed by google few days back. How long does google take to display the URL in SERP once the pages get indexed ? 2. Does google give more preference to websites with more number of pages than those with lesser number of pages to display results in SERP (I have just 50 pages). Does the NUMBER of pages really matter ? 3. Does removal / change of URLs have any negative effect on ranking ? (Many of these URLs were not shown on the 1st page) An answer from SEO experts will be highly appreciated. Thnx !

                              Best practice for removing indexed internal search pages from Google?

                              Hi Mozzers I know that it’s best practice to block Google from indexing internal search pages, but what’s best practice when “the damage is done”? I have a project where a substantial part of our visitors and income lands on an internal search page, because Google has indexed them (about 3 %). I would like to block Google from indexing the search pages via the meta noindex,follow tag because: Google Guidelines: “Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don't add much value for users coming from search engines.” http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769 Bad user experience The search pages are (probably) stealing rankings from our real landing pages Webmaster Notification: “Googlebot found an extremely high number of URLs on your site” with links to our internal search results I want to use the meta tag to keep the link juice flowing. Do you recommend using the robots.txt instead? If yes, why? Should we just go dark on the internal search pages, or how shall we proceed with blocking them? I’m looking forward to your answer! Edit: Google have currently indexed several million of our internal search pages.

                              Would it be beneficial to NOINDEX category listing pages except for the first page.  For example on this site: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/101/fsx-missions/ Has lots of pages such as Page 2, Page 3, Page 4... etc: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aflyawaysimulation.com+fsx+missions Would there be any SEO benefit of NOINDEX on these pages?  Of course, FOLLOW is default, so links would still be followed and juice applied. Your thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.

                              Number of Indexed Pages are Continuously Going Down

                              I am working on online retail stores. Initially, Google have indexed 10K+ pages of my website. I have checked number of indexed page before one week and pages were 8K+. Today, number of indexed pages are 7680. I can't understand why should it happen and How can fix it? I want to index maximum pages of my website.
