Welcome to the Q&A Forum

With "site:site.com" you can only see if the page is indexED, but to know if it's indexABLE you need to dig deeper. That is why I've decided to automate this process.

As I already told, this gonna be a browser extension, once you got on any page, this ext. automatically checks the page, and show the status (with color, I guess), if this page indexed, if not - it shows if its indexABLE. When I'm looking for linkbuilding resources, this little tool should help a lot

Actually I'm not. That's why I'm asking, to not to miss this basic stuff, so I really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

If I get your question correctly, you are asking why this extension is need for?

Well, 2 main aims:

1. When I want to check any of pages on my own websites, I just visit the page and see if it's ok with all the robots stuff. (or if it should be closed from robots, see if it really is)

2. For linkbuilding purposes. When I come to the page and see a link from it to external website and I know for sure that I can get the same link to my site, I'm asking myself, if it worth getting link from the page like this, if it's gonna be indexed. Why waste your time on getting links from pages that are closed from indexation.

Hello Peter,

First of all, thank you for the great ideas.

I don't think it's necessary to call the API, as this check references to only one URL (so no aggressiveness) , I need it to be done as fast as possible. But the idea with Structured Data - bravo!

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I'm building the extension for Chrome, which should show me the status of the indexability of the page I'm on.

So, I need to know all the methods to check if the page has the potential to be crawled and indexed by a Search Engines. I've come up with a few methods:

• Check the URL in robots.txt file (if it's not disallowed)
• Check page metas (if there are not noindex meta)
• Check if page is the same for unregistered users (for those pages only available for registered users of the site)

Are there any more methods to check if a particular page is indexable (or not closed for indexation) by Search Engines?

Thanks in advance!
