          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

                      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

                                  Mass Removal Request from Google Index

                                  Hi, I am trying to cleanse a news website.  When this website was first made, the people that set it up copied all kinds of articles they had as a newspaper, including tests, internal communication, and drafts.  This site has lots of junk, but this kind of junk was on the initial backup, aka before 1st-June-2012.  So, removing all mixed content prior to that date, we can have pure articles starting June 1st, 2012! Therefore My dynamic sitemap now contains only articles with release date between 1st-June-2012 and now Any article that has release date prior to 1st-June-2012 returns a custom 404 page with "noindex" metatag, instead of the actual content of the article. The question is how I can remove from the google index all this junk as fast as possible that is not on the site anymore, but still appears in google results? I know that for individual URLs I need to request removal from this link
                                  https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals The problem is doing this in bulk, as there are tens of thousands of URLs I want to remove.  Should I put the articles back to the sitemap so the search engines crawl the sitemap and see all the 404?  I believe this is very wrong.  As far as I know this will cause problems because search engines will try to access non existent content that is declared as existent by the sitemap, and return errors on the webmasters tools. Should I submit a DELETED ITEMS SITEMAP using the <expires>tag? I think this is for custom search engines only, and not for the generic google search engine.
                                  https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/indexing#on-demand-indexing</expires> The site unfortunatelly doesn't use any kind of "folder" hierarchy in its URLs, but instead the ugly GET params, and a kind of folder based pattern is impossible since all articles (removed junk and actual articles) are of the form:
                                  http://www.example.com/docid=123456 So, how can I bulk remove from the google index all the junk... relatively fast?

                                  Why is Google ranking irrelevant / not preferred pages for keywords?

                                  Over the past few months we have been chipping away at duplicate content issues. We know this is our biggest issue and is working against us. However, it is due to this client also owning the competitor site. Therefore, product merchandise and top level categories are highly similar, including a shared server. Our rank is suffering major for this, which we understand.  However, as we make changes, and I track and perform test searches, the pages that Google ranks for keywords never seems to match or make sense, at all. For example, I search for "solid scrub tops" and it ranks the "print scrub tops" category. Or the "Men Clearance" page is ranking for  keyword "Women Scrub Pants". Or, I will search for a specific brand, and it ranks a completely different brand. Has anyone else seen this behavior with duplicate content issues?  Or is it an issue with some other penalty?  At this point, our only option is to test something and see what impact it has, but it is difficult to do when keywords do not align with content.

                                  Can I tell Google to Ignore Parts of a Page?

                                  Hi all, I was wondering if there was some sort of html trick that I could use to selectively tell a search engine to ignore texts on certain parts of a page. Thanks!

                                  How do you check the google cache for hashbang pages?

                                  So we use http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:x.com/#!/hashbangpage to check what googlebot has cached but when we try to use this method for hashbang pages, we get the x.com's cache... not x.com/#!/hashbangpage That actually makes sense because the hashbang is part of the homepage in that case so I get why the cache returns back the homepage. My question is - how can you actually look up the cache for hashbang page?

                                  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.

                                  Are pages with a canonical tag indexed?

                                  Hello here, here are my questions for you related to the canonical tag: 1. If I put online a new webpage with a canonical tag pointing to a different page, will this new page be indexed by Google and will I be able to find it in the index? 2. If instead I apply the canonical tag to a page already in the index, will this page be removed from the index? Thank you in advance for any insights! Fabrizio

                                  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!
