      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

                              We recently launched our website that uses React.js and we haven't been able to get any of the pages indexed. Our previous site (which had a .ca domain) ranked #1 in the 4 cities we had pages and we redirected it to the .com domain a little over a month ago. We have recently started using prerender.io but still haven't seen any success. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before?

                              How to stop URLs that include query strings from being indexed by Google

                              Hello Mozzers Would you use rel=canonical, robots.txt, or Google Webmaster Tools to stop the search engines indexing URLs that include query strings/parameters. Or perhaps a combination? I guess it would be a good idea to stop the search engines crawling these URLs because the content they display will tend to be duplicate content  and of low value to users. I would be tempted to use a combination of canonicalization and robots.txt for every page I do not want crawled or indexed, yet perhaps Google Webmaster Tools is the best way to go / just as effective??? And I suppose some use meta robots tags too. Does Google take a position on being blocked from web pages. Thanks in advance, Luke

                              Is Google able to see child pages in our AJAX pagination?

                              We upgraded our site to a new platform the first week of August.  The product listing pages have a canonical issue.  Page 2 of the paginated series has a canonical pointing to page 1 of the series.  Google lists this as a "mistake" and we're planning on implementing best practice (https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2013/04/5-common-mistakes-with-relcanonical.html)  We want to implement rel=next,prev. The URLs are constructed using a hashtag and a string of query parameters.  You'll notice that these parameters are  &parameter:value vs &parameter=value. /products#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& None of the URLs are included in any indexed URLs because the canonical is the page URL without the AJAX parameters.  So these results are expected. Screamingfrog only finds the product links on page 1 and doesn't move to page 2.  The link to page 2 is AJAX.  ScreamingFrog only crawls AJAX if its in Google's deprecated recommendations as far as I know. The "facet" parameter is noted in search console, but the example URLs are for an unrelated URL that uses the "?facet=" format.  None of the other parameters have been added by Google to the console.  Other unrelated parameters from the new site are in the console. When using the fetch as Google tool, Google ignores everything after the "#" and shows only the main URL.  I tested to see if it was just pulling the canonical of the page for the test, but that was not the case. None of the "#facet" strings appear in the Moz crawl I don't think Google is reading the "productBeginIndex" to specify the start of a page 2 and so on.  One thought is to add the parameter in search console, remove the canonical, and test one category to see how Google treats the pages. Making the URLs SEO friendly (/page2.../page3) is a heavy lift. Any ideas how to diagnose/solve this issue?

                              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!

                              Why are bit.ly links being indexed and ranked by Google?

                              I did a quick search for "site:bit.ly" and it returns more than 10 million results. Given that bit.ly links are 301 redirects, why are they being indexed in Google and ranked according to their destination? I'm working on a similar project to bit.ly and I want to make sure I don't run into the same problem.

                              Hi, We have an ecommerce site with around 4000 real pages. But our index count is at 47,000 pages in Google Webmaster Tools. How can I get a list of all pages indexed of our domain? trying to locate the duplicate content. Doing a "site:www.mydomain.com" only returns up to 676 results... Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

                              Is 404'ing a page enough to remove it from Google's index?

                              We set some pages to 404 status about 7 months ago, but they are still showing in Google's index (as 404's). Is there anything else I need to do to remove these?
