      In other words, how can see the text and what not it sees from start to finish on each page. I know there was a site, but I can't remember it.

        I've been using the Google Bot and it has been effective.

          Google Webmaster Tools has upgraded their Fetch as GoogleBot tool to show you a visual representation of what the search crawler will see on your page, Tiffany. I'd absolutely start there, as it's Google's own tool, and you need to have a GWT account anyway.

              Google webmaster tools also has an option to fetch as Googlebot.

                  Oh, sorry, I just read the title question, not the follow-up explanation. This is a decent site for what you're looking for http://www.webconfs.com/spider-view-article-9.php, but you can pretty much just go google "google search simulator" and get a bunch of different sites that will show the same information, just displayed differently.

                  Have a fantastic Thursday!

                      Oh, I'm so excited, because I finally have an answer to a technical question. In your browser type site:yourwebpage.com! That will list everything google indexes.

                      Cheers!
