    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.

              Neil you are correct I agree with screaming frog is excellent they definitely will show you your site. Here is a link from SEOmoz associate that I believe will benefit you

              http://www.seomoz.org/q/404-error-but-i-can-t-find-any-broken-links-on-the-referrer-pages

                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

                            How can I make a list of all URLs indexed by Google?

                            I started working for this eCommerce site 2 months ago, and my SEO site audit revealed a massive spider trap. The site should have been 3500-ish pages, but Google has over 30K pages in its index. I'm trying to find a effective way of making a list of all URLs indexed by Google. Anyone? (I basically want to build a sitemap with all the indexed spider trap URLs, then set up 301 on those, then ping Google with the "defective" sitemap so they can see what the site really looks like and remove those URLs, shrinking the site back to around 3500 pages)

                            Hello, on my fairly new website Worthminer.com I am noticing that Google is not indexing images from my sitemap. Already 560 images submitted and Google indexed only 3 of them. Altough there is more images indexed they are not indexing any new images, and I have no idea why. Posts, categories and other urls are indexing just fine, but images not. I am using Wordpress and for sitemaps Wordpress SEO by yoast. Am I missing something here? Why Google won't index my images? Thanks, I appreciate any help, David xv1GtwK.jpg

                            Google indexing only 1 page out of 2 similar pages made for different cities

                            We have created two category pages, in which we are showing products which could be delivered in separate cities. Both pages are related to cake delivery in that city. But out of these two category pages only 1 got indexed in google and other has not. Its been around 1 month but still only Bangalore category page got indexed. We have submitted sitemap and google is not giving any crawl error. We have also submitted for indexing from "Fetch as google" option in webmasters. www.winni.in/c/4/cakes (Indexed - Bangalore page - http://www.winni.in/sitemap/sitemap_blr_cakes.xml) 2. http://www.winni.in/hyderabad/cakes/c/4 (Not indexed - Hyderabad page - http://www.winni.in/sitemap/sitemap_hyd_cakes.xml) I tried searching for "hyderabad site:www.winni.in" in google but there also http://www.winni.in/hyderabad/cakes/c/4 this link is not coming, instead of this only www.winni.in/c/4/cakes is coming. Can anyone please let me know what could be the possible issue with this?

                            Pages are Indexed but not Cached by Google. Why?

                            Here's an example: I get a 404 error for this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all But a search for qjamba restaurant coupons gives a clear result as does this: site:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all What is going on?  How can this page be indexed but not in the Google cache? I should make clear that the page is not showing up with any kind of error in webmaster tools, and Google has been crawling pages just fine.  This particular page was fetched by Google yesterday with no problems, and even crawled again twice today by Google  Yet, no cache.

                            How is Google crawling and indexing this directory listing?

                            We have three Directory Listing pages that are being indexed by Google: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/jsp/ http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/jsp/html/ http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/jsp/pdf/ How and why is Googlebot crawling and indexing these pages? Nothing else links to them (although the /jsp.html/ and /jsp/pdf/ both link back to /jsp/). They aren't disallowed in our robots.txt file and I understand that this could be why. If we add them to our robots.txt file and disallow, will this prevent Googlebot from crawling and indexing those Directory Listing pages without prohibiting them from crawling and indexing the content that resides there which is used to populate pages on our site? Having these pages indexed in Google is causing a myriad of issues, not the least of which is duplicate content. For example, this file <tt>CCI-SALES-STAFF.HTML</tt> (which appears on this Directory Listing referenced above - http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/jsp/html/) clicks through to this Web page: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/jsp/html/CCI-SALES-STAFF.HTML This page is indexed in Google and we don't want it to be. But so is the actual page where we intended the content contained in that file to display: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/meet-our-sales-staff As you can see, this results in duplicate content problems. Is there a way to disallow Googlebot from crawling that Directory Listing page, and, provided that we have this URL in our sitemap: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/meet-our-sales-staff, solve the duplicate content issue as a result? For example: Disallow: /StoreFront/jsp/ Disallow: /StoreFront/jsp/html/ Disallow: /StoreFront/jsp/pdf/ Can we do this without risking blocking Googlebot from content we do want crawled and indexed? Many thanks in advance for any and all help on this one!

                            Should you stop indexing of short lived pages?

                            In my site there will be a lot of pages that have a short life span of about a week as they are items on sale, should I nofollow the links meaning the site has a fwe hundred pages or allow indexing and have thousands but then have lots of links to pages that do not exist. I would of course if allowing indexing make sure the page links does not error and sends them to a similarly relevant page but which is best for me with the SEarch Engines? I would like to have the option of loads of links with pages of loads of content but not if it is detrimental Thanks
