      Is there a way to get a list of pages that google has indexed?

      Is there some software that can do this?

      I do not have access to webmaster tools, so hoping there is another way to do this.

      Would be great if I could also see if the indexed page is a 404 or other

      Thanks for your help, sorry if its  basic question 😞

        If you want to find all your indexed pages in Google just type:  site:yourdomain.com or .co.uk or other  without the www.

          Hi John,

          Hope I'm not too late to the party! When checking URL's for their cache status I suggest using Scrapebox (with proxies).

          Be warned, it was created as a black-hat tool, and as such is frowned upon, but there are a number of excellent white-hat uses for it! Costs $57 one off 😉

            sorry to keep sending you messages but I wanted to make sure that you know SEOmoz does have a fantastic tool for what you are requesting. Please look at this link and then click on the bottom where it should says show more and I believe you will agree it does everything you've asked and more.

            http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test

            Sincerely,

            Thomas

            does this answer your question?

              What giving you a 100 limit?

              try using Raven tools or spider mate they both have excellent free trials and allow you quite a bit of information.

                  this is what I am looking for 🙂 Thanks

                  Strange that there is no tool I can buy to do this in full without the 100 limit

                  Anyway, i will give that a go

                    can I get your sites URL? By the way this might be a better way into Google Webmaster tools

                    https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=sitemaps&passive=1209600&continue=https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/&followup=https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

                    if you have a Gmail account use that if you don't just sign up using your regular e-mail.

                    Of course using SEOmoz via http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test  will give you a full rundown of all of your links and how they're running. Are you not seen all of them?

                    Another tool I have found very useful. Is website analysis as well as their midsize product from Alexia

                    http://www.alexa.com/products

                    I hope I have helped,

                    Tom

                      If you don't have access to Webmaster Tools, the most basic way to see which pages Google has indexed is obviously to do a site: search on Google itself - like "site:google.com" - to return pages of SERPs containing the pages from your site which Google has indexed.

                      Problem is, how do you get the data from those SERPs in a useful format to run through Screaming Frog or similar?

                      Enter Chris Le's Google Scraper for Google Docs

                      It will let scrape the first 100 results, then let you offset your search by 100 and get the next 100, etc.. slightly cumbersome, but it will achieve what you want to do.

                      Then you can crawl the URLs using Screaming Frog or another crawler.

                        just thought I might add these links these might help explain it better than I did.

                        http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test

                        you should definitely sign up for Google Webmaster tools it is free here is a link all you need to do is add an e-mail address and password

                        http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=1724121

                          Thanks for the reply.

                          I do not have access to webmaster tools and the seomoz tools do not show a great deal of the pages on my site for some reason

                          Majestic shows up to 100 pages. Ahrefs shows some also.

                          I need to compare what google has indexed and the status of the page

                          Does screaming frog do thiss?

                            Google Webmaster tools should supply you with this information. In addition Seomoz tools will tell you that and more. Run your website through the campaign section of seomoz you will then see any issues with your website.

                            You may also want to of course use Google Webmaster tools run a test as a Google bot the Google but should show you any issues you are having such is 404's or other fun things that websites do.

                            If you're running WordPress there are plenty of plug-ins I recommend 404 returned

                            sincerely,

                            Thomas

                              Google Is Indexing my 301 Redirects to Other sites

                              Long story but now i have a few links from my site 301 redirecting to youtube videos or eCommerce stores. They carry a considerable amount of traffic that i benefit from so i can't take them down, and that traffic is people from other websites, so basically i have backlinks from places that i don't own, to my redirect urls (Ex. http://example.com/redirect) My problem is that google is indexing them and doesn't let them go, i have tried blocking that url from robots.txt but google is still indexing it uncrawled, i have also tried allowing google to crawl it and adding noindex from robots.txt, i have tried removing it from GWT but it pops back again after a few days. Any ideas? Thanks!

                              Google Adsbot crawling order confirmation pages?

                              Hi, We have had roughly 1000+ requests per 24 hours from Google-adsbot to our confirmation pages. This generates an error as the confirmation page cannot be viewed after closing or by anyone who didn't complete the order. How is google-adsbot finding pages to crawl that are not linked to anywhere on the site, in the sitemap or linked to anywhere else? Is there any harm in a google crawler receiving a higher percentage of errors - even though the pages are not supposed to be requested. Is there anything we can do to prevent the errors for the benefit of our network team and what are the possible risks of any measures we can take? This bot seems to be for evaluating the quality of landing pages used in for Adwords so why is it trying to access confirmation pages when they have not been set for any of our adverts? We included "Disallow: /confirmation" in the robots.txt but it has continued to request these pages, generating a 403 page and an error in the log files so it seems Adsbot doesn't follow robots.txt. Thanks in advance for any help, Sam

                              No-index pages with duplicate content?

                              Hello, I have an e-commerce website selling about 20 000 different products. For the most used of those products, I created unique high quality content. The content has been written by a professional player that describes how and why those are useful which is of huge interest to buyers. It would cost too much to write that high quality content for 20 000 different products, but we still have to sell them. Therefore, our idea was to no-index the products that only have the same copy-paste descriptions all other websites have. Do you think it's better to do that or to just let everything indexed normally since we might get search traffic from those pages? Thanks a lot for your help!

                              How important is the number of indexed pages?

                              I'm considering making a change to using AJAX filtered navigation on my e-commerce site.  If I do this, the user experience will be significantly improved but the number of pages that Google finds on my site will go down significantly (in the 10,000's). It feels to me like our filtered navigation has grown out of control and we spend too much time worrying about the url structure of it - in some ways it's paralyzing us.  I'd like to be able to focus on pages that matter (explicit Category and Sub-Category) pages and then just let ajax take care of filtering products below these levels. For customer usability this is smart.  From the perspective of manageable code and long term design this also seems very smart -we can't continue to worry so much about filtered navigation. My concern is that losing so many indexed pages will have a large negative effect (however, we will reduce duplicate content and be able provide much better category and sub-category pages). We probably should have thought about this a year ago before Google indexed everything :-).  Does anybody have any experience with this or insight on what to do? Thanks, -Jason

                              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?

                              I have a wordpress blog with settings currently set so that Google does not index tag pages. Is this a best practice that avoids duplicate content or am I hurting the site by taking eligible pages out of the index?
