Cool Google Indexing Tool

July 18, 2007 | Author: Mark | Filed under: Tools of the Test

A few days ago, I wrote about how a few of the search engine spiders had indexed a few of the new sites. I’m sure you all remember how excited I was! LOL ok… maybe it was just me!

ANYHOW - this evening I was sitting here looking through some of the sites to see just how deep the indexing was - meaning, how many pages did the spiders see and were they were already listing them in the index. I use Google as a measure of success for almost everything to do with the web… If you like to race in circles, beating Dale Earnhardt Sr would be the ultimate win for you - its the same way for Google - if you can get listed, thats half the battle!

Back to the subject - With Google and all search engines, you can send a search string to the engines that will display ALL pages on your domain that are indexed… read on.

Whois Toolbar Shortcut

I have few links up there in my Internet Explorer shortcut bar that I regularly use to farm information from websites. For instance, create a shortcut in your web browser to THIS site - once you have it created, go back and right click on your new shortcut and choose properties. You will likely see the web address of the page you were on when you created the shortcut.

Delete the shortcut location url from the peroperties/web document form and replace it with the following:

  • javascript:location.href=’http:/’+'/www.whois.sc/browser/’+window.location.href.replace(’#',’|');

Save it, press OK on the errors (maybe twice on errors) for the javascript not being registered - all you are doing is passing an instruction to your browser to repost information from the page you are on.

From this point forward, when you are on a website… you can click this shortcut and it will tell you all DNS info in the whois directory for the domain! Cool huh?

Google Indexing Toolbar Shortcut 

Now for something even better… create another shortcut in IE or FF whatever browser you use… go back into the properties and rename the url to: (Open file and copy/paste. ie jacks up the code)

This one is even more useful for SEO freak addicts like myself… When you have the website you want to check for indexing active on your screen, click the new link you just created and it will just wham-zap you to the goolge index of your domain!

 Man - I am so happy with myself I have to sit on my hands right now! I wish i had done this earlier in life - I cannot tell you how many times I have done this manually, which is now just a single click!

Let me know if you need help with it…

Mark,
It works great. You are really smart.
I have a website that half of it indexed and the other half not.
How do I know when google bot comes and how can I make him come to my site more and index the rest of the pages.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Again!

You really have to view your site logs to know when the GBot comes and goes.

As far as getting your site deep indexed - a good and easy to follow sitemap works wonders! I try to place a link to it at the top and bottom of sites needing a good indexing!

Once the site is indexed regularly, you can remove one of the links.

Remember - search bots like change… If they come into your site 10 days in a row and nothing is changing, they will likely just back out and wait several more days before coming back again.

Keeping new and fresh content is a great way to keep the bots coming - even small changes to your main landing page can have big results!
