    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 do internal search results get indexed by Google?

                            Hi all, Most of the URLs that are created by using the internal search function of a website/web shop shouldn't be indexed since they create duplicate content or waste crawl budget. The standard way to go is to 'noindex, follow' these pages or sometimes to use robots.txt to disallow crawling of these pages. The first question I have is how these pages actually would get indexed in the first place if you wouldn't use one of the options above. Crawlers follow links to index a website's pages. If a random visitor comes to your site and uses the search function, this creates a URL. There are no links leading to this URL, it is not in a sitemap, it can't be found through navigating on the website,... so how can search engines index these URLs that were generated by using an internal search function? Second question: let's say somebody embeds a link on his website pointing to a URL from your website that was created by an internal search. Now let's assume you used robots.txt to make sure these URLs weren't indexed. This means Google won't even crawl those pages. Is it possible then that the link that was used on another website will show an empty page after a while, since Google doesn't even crawl this page? Thanks for your thoughts guys.

                            Hello community Due to the architecture of our site, we have a bunch of URLs that are 302 redirected to the same URL plus a query string appended to it. For example: www.example.com/hello.html is 302 redirected to www.example.com/hello.html?___store=abc The www.example.com/hello.html?___store=abc page also has a link canonical tag to www.example.com/hello.html In the above example, can www.example.com/hello.html every be Indexed, by google as I assume the googlebot will always be redirected to www.example.com/hello.html?___store=abc and will never see www.example.com/hello.html ? Thanks in advance for the help!

                            I know it is a good idea for duplicate pages, blog tags, etc. but I remember somewhere that you can help the overall link juice of a website by adding no index no follow or no index follow low quality content pages of your website. Is it still a good idea to do this or was it never a good idea to begin with? Michael

                            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.

                            Page position dropped on Google

                            Hey Guys, My web designer has recommended this forum to use, the reason being: my google position has been dropped from page 1 to page 10 in the last week. The site is weloveschoolsigns.co.uk, but our main business site is textstyles.co.uk the school signs are a product of text styles. I have been told off my SEO company, that because I have changed the school logo to the text styles logo, Google have penalised me for it, and dropped us from page 1 for numerous keywords, to page 10 or more. They have also said that duplicate content within the school site  http://www.weloveschoolsigns.co.uk/school-signs-made-easy/ has also a contributed to the drop in positions. (this content is not on the textstyles site) Lastly they said, that having the same telephone number is a definate no no. They said that I have been penalised, because google see the above as trying to monopolise on the market. I don’t know if all this is true, as the SEO is way above my head, but they have quoted me £1250 to repair all the errors, when the site only cost £750. They have also mentioned that because of the above changes, the main text styles site will also be punished. Any thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated as I don't know whether to pay them to crack on, or accept the new positions. Either way I'm very confused. Thanks Thomas

                            Hey, I have a bit of a problem/issue what is freaking me out a bit. I hope you can help me. If i do site:www.somesitename.com search in Google i see that Google is indexing my attachment pages. I want to redirect attachment URL's to parent post and stop google from indexing them. I have used different redirect plugins in hope that i can fix it myself but plugins don't work. I get a error:"too many redirects occurred trying to open www.somesitename.com/?attachment_id=1982 ". Do i need to change something in my attachment.php fail? Any idea what is causing this problem? get_header(); ?> /* Run the loop to output the attachment. * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file * called loop-attachment.php and that will be used instead. */ get_template_part( 'loop', 'attachment' ); ?>
