How can I get a listing of just the URLs that are indexed in Google
-
I know I can use the site: query to see all the pages I have indexed in Google, but I need a listing of just the URLs. We are doing a site re-platform and I want to make sure every URL in Google has a 301. Is there an easy way to just see the URLs that Google has indexed for a domain?
-
This question still remains unanswered, why did it get marked answered?

Ok, you haven't stated how big the site is. As I already stated, Google will not show you everything it has in it's index, Yahoo will give 1000, SEOMoz might have additional, also check your Google Webmaster Tools (if you have that setup).
The second thing to keep in mind is incoming links from other places. It sounds like there was no housekeeping before the restructure, so I would keep an eye on the web server logs, analytics, etc. and add 301's for anything else that comes in that doesn't exist.
It's not just about Google, it's also about the user experience. Going to a non-existent page can give the impression that whatever they are looking for is no longer mentioned on your website, which potentially looses customers.

If you import the TSV into Excel you will get a column of just the URLS
-
It didnt fully answer the question cause I was only able to get the first 1000 URLS. I need to get the entire list.

Well here it is for those paying attention to this thread:

Not sure if posting a link will work, they tend not to for me, you can always copy and paste.
I'm considering the YOUMoz addition and already sent you an email Jennifer

A bit of a teaser... our new Firefox toolbar that's coming out soon will have the ability in the SERP overlay to download the page of SERPs
-
Ooh that would be great to let others use, maybe even a YOUmoz post?
-
Your welcome. If that fully answered your question please mark it as answered.
-
Thanks, that let me grab the first 1000.

As Google will not show you everything, even using the site command, I use Yahoo SiteExplorer:
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=seomoz.org&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s
and wrote a PHP script to take the TSV it exports and create a line for each page. I could probably make that available for use one one of my sites.

You may want to do that from an xml sitemap. You can find sites out there that will build a sitemap for you for free and then just open it in excel and you should have all of your urls in a list. NOw that doesn't answer your question of just the urls in google, but you will get all of the ones in google and then some if you do it the way suggested. Better overkill than underkill. Hope that helps!

What's going on with google index - javascript and google bot
Hi all, Weird issue with one of my websites. The website URL: http://www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/ Let's take 2 diffrenet article pages from this website: 1st: http://www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/71232/ As you can see the page is indexed correctly on google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:dfbzhHkl5K4J:www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/71232/10-minute-core-and-cardio&hl=en&strip=1 (that the "text only" version, indexed on May 19th) 2nd: http://www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/69811 As you can see the page isn't indexed correctly on google: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KeU6-oViFkgJ:www.athletictrainers.myindustrytracker.com/en/article/69811&hl=en&strip=1 (that the "text only" version, indexed on May 21th) They both have the same code, and about the dates, there are pages that indexed before the 19th and they also problematic. Google can't read the content, he can read it when he wants to. Can you think what is the problem with that? I know that google can read JS and crawl our pages correctly, but it happens only with few pages and not all of them (as you can see above).

How can I get Google to forget an https version of one page on my site?
Google mysteriously decided to index the broken, https version of one page on my company's site (we have a cert for the site, but this page is not designed to be served over https and the CSS doesn't load). The page already has many incoming links to the http version, and it has a canonical URL with http. I resubmitted it on http with webmaster tools. Is there anything else I could do?

Is Google caching date same as crawling/indexing date?
If a site is cached on say 9 oct 2012 doesn't that also mean that Google crawled it on same date ? And indexed it on same date?

Does hidden text, which appears for an onclick event, get indexed by Google and what SEO impact does this have?
I'm trying to simplify a conversion process with an onclick event to show text rather than having a completely separate page, but wondering if this is going to negatively impact on SEO, especially considering it's hidden text. I've seen a couple of things out there where you could position the text off the screen and the onclick results in it coming on.
