Thread: how to check my pages for google

I see in many of the posts that someone sees, (or doesn't see) their site pages in Google. What is the recommended way to check to see the pages that Google has indexed?

I have gone to Google search box and typed just the main domain, "webmarketinghelpsite"; and Google returns my index page and the "aboutus" page, then also a post in VodaHost/talk..... But that's it!

Then if I type "webmarketinghelpsite.com/trafficsrvs.html"; it finds that page and goes to it. Does that mean Google has that page indexed?

Again, I'm just asking; what is the proper way to check Google page indexing?

Thanks for all the help you folks have given me!

In case you all might be wondering, from my domain name; what qualifies me to offer web marketing help.....well I personally don't offer advice! I just do the searching and reading all those sales pages to find marketing resources, of all kinds, including freestuff, to offer on an affiliate basis.

(BTW...I hate those lon............g sales pages! Don't like to offer those, but if the offer has value and I can get some verification of the person's credentials; I will include them.)

Hi Dave,

A good start would be to get yourself a sitemap:

http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

Then get yourself set up with the Google webmaster tools:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

They are very simple to use and allow you to get all your pages indexed.

The answer to your question is yes, whatever pages you can see on Google is what they have indexed.

Thanks for quick reply, Ramsey. I was just trying to generate a site map with ror sitemap generator, but it won't crawl my site! At least it says "urls crawled 0" and nothing shows in the comment box!

So, I'll try your suggested links. I appreciate it!

To see what pages the se has already indexed - go to the seach box and type:
site:www.yoursite.com
or
site:http://www.yoursite.com
some of them like a space:

site: http://www.yoursite.com

Thank you, Beth. The first option worked great! Found all my pages, except "thank you" page, but I don't link to it, so probably is correct not to find it!
I was only getting a couple pages an hour ago, but wasn't typing the "site:" part.
Thanks again!

You're welcome!
