    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

                        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

                            Home Page Title - Google Overriding my Title Tag

                            title tags

                            Hi, We have noticed our home page title tag has now been replaced by our brand name (by Google I'm assuming). We have also noted that the page is dropping off SERPS for our main keywords, I suspect they are related but ofc I cant be sure. I know the recent Google update has impacted titles but I wasn't sure if it would apply here. Has anyone any advice on this and/or having the same issue? We normally rank well for grass seed (UK search) https://thegrasspeople.com/ I also noticed some strange mark up in our source code which seems to have been left behind by Sketch - we are getting this removed. <title>Combined Shape</title> <desc>Created with Sketch.</desc> Chris

                            My url disappeared from Google but Search Console shows indexed. This url has been indexed for more than a year. Please help!

                            Super weird problem that I can't solve for last 5 hours. One of my urls: https://www.dcacar.com/lax-car-service.html Has been indexed for more than a year and also has an AMP version, few hours ago I realized that it had disappeared from serps. We were ranking on page 1 for several key terms. When I perform a search "site:dcacar.com " the url is no where to be found  on all 5 pages. But when I check my Google Console it shows as indexed I requested to index again but nothing changed. All other 50 or so urls are not effected at all, this is the only url that has gone missing can someone solve this mystery for me please. Thanks a lot in advance.

                            Google does not want to index my page

                            I have a site that is hundreds of page indexed on Google. But there is a page that I put in the footer section that Google seems does not like and are not indexing that page. I've tried submitting it to their index through google webmaster and it will appear on Google index but then after a few days it's gone again. Before that page had canonical meta to another page, but it is removed now.

                            We have pages that are not linked from site yet they are indexed in Google. It could be possible if Google got these pages from browser. Does Google takes data from chrome?

                            Google WMT recently found and called out a large number of old unpublished pages as access denied errors. The pages are tagged "noindex, follow."  These old pages are in Google's index. At this point, would it better to 301 all these pages or submit an index removal request or what? Thanks... Darcy

                            How Do You Remove Video Thumbnails From Google Search Result Pages?

                            This is going to be a long question, but, in a nutshell, I am asking if anyone knows how to remove video thumbnails from Google's search result pages? We have had video thumbnails show up next to many of our organic listings in Google's search result pages for several months.  To be clear, these are organic listings for our site, not results from performing a video search.  When you click on the thumbnail or our listing title, you go to the same page on our site - a list of products or the product page. Although it was initially believed that these thumbnails drew the eye to our listings and that we would receive more traffic, we are actually seeing severe year over year declines in traffic to our category pages with thumbnails vs. category pages without thumbnails (where average rank remained relatively constant). We believe this decline is due to several things: An old date stamp that makes our listing look outdated (despite the fact that we can prove Google has spidered and updated their cache of these pages as recent as 2 days ago).  We have no idea where Google is getting this datestamp from. An unrelated thumbnail to the page title, etc. - sometimes a picture of a man's face when the category is for women's handbags A difference in intent - user intends to shop or browse, not watch a video.  They skip our listing because it looks like a video even though both the thumbnail and our listing click through to a category page of products. So we want to remove these video thumbnails from Google's search results without removing our pages from the index.  Does anyone know how to do this? We believed that this connection between category page and video was happening in our video sitemap.  We have removed all reference to video and category pages in the sitemap.  After making this change and resubmitting the sitemap in Webmaster Tools, we have not seen any changes in the search results (it's been over 2 weeks). I've been reading and it appears many believe that Google can identify video embedded in pages.  That makes sense.  We can certainly remove videos from our category pages to truly remove the connection between category page URL and video thumbnail.  However, I don't believe this is enough because in some cases you can find video thumbnails next to listings where the page has not had a video thumbnail in months (example: search for "leather handbags" and find www.ebags.com/category/handbags/m/leather - that video does not exist on that page and has not for months.  Similarly, do a search for "handbags" and find www.ebags.com/department/handbags.  That video has not been on that page since 2010. Any ideas?

                            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?
