Number of Pages Indexed: How to Find out How Many Pages You Have Indexed

Ensuring the search engines are properly indexing pages from your website is critical for SEO - after all, if the search engines aren't indexing your pages, those pages will never come up for search results!

So, how do you find out how many pages from your site are getting indexed? The easiest way is to search for the following on Google:
"site:url.com" (no spaces)

SEO Book notes that searching for site:url.com and site:www.url.com can lead to slightly different results. Also, you can use Google Webmaster Tools to get some additional information on the pages Google is crawling on your site and how that changes over time. We'll go over Webmaster Tools in a future post.
