Welcome to the Q&A Forum

So I was thrilled when Webmaster tools released the little graph telling you how many pages are indexed.  However, I noticed with one of my sites, that it was actually going down over the past year.  I've only been doing the SEO on the site for a few months, so it wasn't anything I did. The chart is attached to this post. Now here's the funny part.  I haven't really noticed anything out of the ordinary for keyword ranking dropping off.   I also tested my most recent page that I put up.  3 days after I posted it, I could find it in a Google search.  Shouldn't this mean that's it's indexed?  I can also find any other page I've posted in the last few months. Another oddity is that I submitted a sitemap a while ago when the site was only 22 pages.  The sitemap index count says 20 of those pages are indexed. The chart only says that there are 3 indexed pages right now.  However, I can clearly find dozens of pages in Google searches.  Is there something I'm missing?  Is my chart for this website broken?  Should I report this to Google?  Has anyone had a similar issue? decreaseIndex.png

I have a campaign that's on a very small website at this point.  It's only 9 pages, so a crawl would only take a few minutes.  Is there a way to start a quick crawl at my request instead of having to wait a week to see if I fixed the issues it found during the last crawl?  I've been hunting around, but I don't see a way.

I'm looking for a way to track backlinks that are made and make sure that they don't disappear.  Is there a way in SEO Moz to have it check the backlinks that it has identified every month to make sure they're still there, or do you have to do it manually by download the list every month and comparing them?
