How to find all indexed pages in Google?
-
Hi,
We have an ecommerce site with around 4000 real pages. But our index count is at 47,000 pages in Google Webmaster Tools.
How can I get a list of all pages indexed of our domain? trying to locate the duplicate content.
Doing a "site:www.mydomain.com" only returns up to 676 results...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

You are absolutely right. But if you think that you have duplicate content issues, then Screaming Frog can help you tease that out.
That is also why I suggested the SEOmoz tool, since it is supposed to mimick a SE spider, it can give you a pretty good idea of any issues that you might have.
Using the advanced operator of site:domain makes sense, but if there are issues there like eyepaq said, it is going to be tough sledding.
My suggestion would be to download take a closer look at what GWT is telling you. Are there duplicates there? Is your CMS auto-generating URL's? That is probably going to be your best bet IMO.
Best of luck!

@BJS, I would export a file from GWT and filter the results. If your URLs are in GWT, then most likely it's indexed in Google.

Thank you to everyone that contributed.
@Zeph and @Francisco - I do use Screaming Frog, but actually, correct me if I am wrong, but it does not show a list of pages indexed, but rather pages that exist in the site - not what Google has already indexed. Thanks anyway
What I wanted was a way of creating a list of all indexed pages in Google - not a count.
But thank you all the same!

Hey Zeph! Hope your company is doing great.
@Ben, screaming frog is good for this. You will need to get the paid version of it. There is a video on the site http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/. Use filters to get to your real URLs.

Hi,
There are tools that you can use - though for close 50k pages is harder to crawl. Best bet is the Web master tools count - although is not 100% exact either.
The site:domain is a good indicator but it's generated "on the fly" but it will show you a better result if you go "deeper" and click on page 10-20 and so on.
However right now it looks like there is an issue with site:domain. for more info see: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-site-command-cluster-16829.html
Cheers.

Use the tool Screaming Frog to see all your pages, that should help. Also, the SEOmoz toolset has a function that will show you all duplicate content (if you are a pro subscriber).

Password Protected Page(s) Indexed
Hi, I am wondering if my website can get a penalty if some password protected pages are showing up when I search on google: site:www.example.com/sub-group/pass-word-protected-page That shows that my password protected page was indexed either before or after adding the password protection. I've seen people suggest no indexing the page. Is that the best method to take care of this? What if we are planning on pushing the page live later on? All of these pages have no title tag, meta description, image alt text, etc. Should I add them for each page? I am wondering what is the best step, especially if we are planning on pushing the page(s) live. Thanks for any help!

Google not Indexing images on CDN.
My URL is: http://bit.ly/1H2TArH We have set up a CDN on our own domain: http://bit.ly/292GkZC We have an image sitemap: http://bit.ly/29ca5s3 The image sitemap uses the CDN URLs. We verified the CDN subdomain in GWT. The robots.txt does not restrict any of the photos: http://bit.ly/29eNSXv. We used to have a disallow to /thumb/ which had a 301 redirect to our CDN but we removed both the disallow in the robots.txt as well as the 301. Yet, GWT still reports none of our images on the CDN are indexed.

The above screenshot is from the GWT of our main domain.The GWT from the CDN subdomain just shows 0. We did not submit a sitemap to the verified subdomain property because we already have a sitemap submitted to the property on the main domain name. While making a search of images indexed from our CDN, nothing comes up: http://bit.ly/293ZbC1While checking the GWT of the CDN subdomain, I have been getting crawling errors, mainly 500 level errors. Not that many in comparison to the number of images and traffic that we get on our website. Google is crawling, but it seems like it just doesn't index the pictures!?
Can anyone help? I have followed all the information that I was able to find on the web but yet, our images on the CDN still can't seem to get indexed.

Pages are Indexed but not Cached by Google. Why?
Here's an example: I get a 404 error for this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all But a search for qjamba restaurant coupons gives a clear result as does this: site:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all What is going on? How can this page be indexed but not in the Google cache? I should make clear that the page is not showing up with any kind of error in webmaster tools, and Google has been crawling pages just fine. This particular page was fetched by Google yesterday with no problems, and even crawled again twice today by Google Yet, no cache.

Site Indexed by Google but not Bing or Yahoo
Hi, I have a site that is indexed (and ranking very well) in Google, but when I do a "site:www.domain.com" search in Bing and Yahoo it is not showing up. The team that purchased the domain a while back has no idea if it was indexed by Bing or Yahoo at the time of purchase. Just wondering if there is anything that might be preventing it from being indexed? Also, Im going to submit an index request, are there any other things I can do to get it picked up?

Tool to calculate the number of pages in Google's index?
When working with a very large site, are there any tools that will help you calculate the number of links in the Google index? I know you can use site:www.domain.com to see all the links indexed for a particular url. But what if you want to see the number of pages indexed for 100 different subdirectories (i.e. www.domain.com/a, www.domain.com/b)? is there a tool to help automate the process of finding the number of pages from each subdirectory in Google's index?
