    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

                            17 cornerstones so far. Worked hard so far. Do I launch? or wait for 40? 60? I know thousands is best. Competitors have much more. Thank you, Bob

                            Home page suddenly dropped from index!!

                            A client's home page, which has always done very well, has just dropped out of Google's index overnight!
                            Webmaster tools does not show any problem. The page doesn't even show up if we Google the company name. The Robot.txt contains: Default Flywheel robots file User-agent: * Disallow: /calendar/action:posterboard/
                            Disallow: /events/action~posterboard/ The only unusual thing I'm aware of is some A/B testing of the page done with 'Optimizely' - it redirects visitors to a test page, but it's not a 'real' redirect in that redirect checker tools still see the page as a 200. Also, other pages that are being tested this way are not having the same problem. Other recent activity over the last few weeks/months includes linking to the page from some of our blog posts using the page topic as anchor text. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

                            Why does Google rank a product page rather than a category page?

                            Hi, everybody In the Moz ranking tool for one of our client's (the client sells sport equipment) account, there is a trend where more and more of their landing pages are product pages instead of category pages. The optimal landing page for the term "sleeping bag" is of course the sleeping bag category page, but Google is sending them to a product page for a specific sleeping bag.. What could be the critical factors that makes the product page more relevant than the category page as the landing page?

                            Is there a way to get a list of Total Indexed pages from Google Webmaster Tools?

                            I'm doing a detailed analysis of how Google sees and indexes our website and we have found that there are 240,256 pages in the index which is way too many. It's an e-commerce site that needs some tidying up. I'm working with an SEO specialist to set up URL parameters and put information in to the robots.txt file so the excess pages aren't indexed (we shouldn't have any more than around 3,00 - 4,000 pages) but we're struggling to find a way to get a list of these 240,256 pages as it would be helpful information in deciding what to put in the robots.txt file and which URL's we should ask Google to remove. Is there a way to get a list of the URL's indexed? We can't find it in the Google Webmaster Tools.

                            Google Analytics: how to filter out pages with low bounce rate?

                            Hello here, I am trying to find out how I can filter out pages in Google Analytics according to their bounce rate. The way I am doing now is the following: 1. I am working inside the Content > Site Content > Landing Pages report 2. Once there, I click the "advanced" link on the right of the filter field. 3. Once there, I define to "include" "Bounce Rate" "Greater than" "0.50" which should show me which pages have a bounce rate higher of 0.50%.... instead I get the following warning on the graph: "Search constraints on metrics can not be applied to this graph" I am afraid I am using the wrong approach... any ideas are very welcome! Thank you in advance.

                            Google Indexing Feedburner Links???

                            I just noticed that for lots of the articles on my website, there are two results in Google's index. For instance: http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/articles/tools-for-creating-wordpress-plugins.html and http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/articles/tools-for-creating-wordpress-plugins.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thewebhostinghero+(TheWebHostingHero.com) Now my Feedburner feed is set to "noindex" and it's always been that way. The canonical tag on the webpage is set to: rel='canonical' href='http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/articles/tools-for-creating-wordpress-plugins.html' /> The robots tag is set to: name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp" /> I found out that there are scrapper sites that are linking to my content using the Feedburner link. So should the robots tag be set to "noindex" when the requested URL is different from the canonical URL? If so, is there an easy way to do this in Wordpress?

                            Should pages of old news articles be indexed?

                            My website published about 3 news articles a day and is set up so that old news articles can be accessed through a "back" button with articles going to page 2 then page 3 then page 4, etc... as new articles push them down.  The pages include a link to the article and a short snippet. I was thinking I would want Google to index the first 3 pages of articles, but after that the pages are not worthwhile.  Could these pages harm me and should they be noindexed and/or added as a canonical URL to the main news page - or is leaving them as is fine because they are so deep into the site that Google won't see them, but I also won't be penalized for having week content? Thanks for the help!

                            Does Google index url with hashtags?

                            We are setting up some Jquery tabs in a page that will produce the same url with hashtags. For example: index.php#aboutus, index.php#ourguarantee, etc. We don't want that content to be crawled as we'd like to prevent duplicate content. Does Google normally crawl such urls or does it just ignore them? Thanks in advance.
