Which pages on your site have been indexed? - Virtual Assistant Forums

Tess · #1 (**permalink**) 02-20-2008

To find out which pages and files on your website have been indexed by Google go to www.google.com and in the search field enter

site:www.mysitesdomain.com (substituting for your own www of course!

)

The results will show you what the search index for each indexed page of your site looks like.

Hint: use this to update your page titles, meta tags, keywords, etc.

Note: If when you pull up your list your descriptions are long strings of keywords go in and fix them!! These should be legible, brief, articulate sentences that accurately describe the content/purpose of each page.

Hmm - I did that but I am a bit confused? How do I interpret the results?

Sorry, please bear with me :S

Wow, that was interesting! My front page and services page were indexed and a whole lot of websites I've never even heard of had my domain linked!

Lily, not sure what you typed in exactly, but here are the results for your site.

Yvonne, I'd run your result and post back with some thoughts on how to 'read' it but I don't see a website URL in your profile

Cool! Looks like I have indexed every page!! I missed the word "site" before when I googled my domain

Thanks!

Gotcha

but if you do want to know who's linked to you check this thread - after you run the query the top right corner will show you how many incoming links there are, the results will be listed as search results.

Thank you again! THIS would be why I never visit any of the other VA sites any more

well - my url has nothing to do with Virtual Assistant...

I understand if you don't want to bother with it but I'll post the URL in case you are willing....

Thanks for this cool bit of information Tess. I never knew how to check which pages on my site have been indexed!

Thanks so much!

Yvonne, not that your URL isn't a fine example to work with - but for the sake of sticking with our little theme here, I'll post back later on today with an analysis of a VA site to help give you an idea of what you're looking for.

But, the quick and easy is to check how the pages are listed in the results themselves - are the titles understandable? Do they make sense? Do they have good keyword representation? Are the descriptions beneath that thorough, complete sentences that don't get cut off and provide solid info about what the page is meant to convey? Etc.

Tess, I understand - I kinda figured that and it make sense....I prefer VA anyways because my other URL - there is no competition to it, well very little. But VA there is TONS of it so I'll need to know everything to make sure my VA website is running effectively :0)

Would you mind terribly if you deleted my post containing my URL please?

Thank you :0)
