NFT: A Question for Website Experts...

EricJ : 11/9/2018 9:45 am
I am in google webmaster tools. I see that I have 266 pages submitted but only 240 pages are indexed. I would like to figure out which 26 pages have not been indexed.

I do not want to google Site:domainname and sift through all of the results trying to figure out which 20 pages are not there.

Are there any tools to determine which are not indexed? Any SEO websites that can produce the results for me?

Thx
I can't help

I don't believe there is a way of doing this

at least, not with any free tools.

Perhaps check your Google Analytics to see which pages have 0 visits? That would likely mean they haven't been indexed.

The visits has nothing to do with indexing. If you are not ranked on page 1 of google you most likely wont get any visits. You could still be indexed and ranked down on page 30.

Almost. I can offer some help (free) or advice. I have a web developer who helped me put together the new wordpress version. I got my first website 12 years ago and learned a lot. If you want to discuss send me an e-mail.

I'm aware of that, but I'm saying if you know a page has zero visits - you can then check to see if that page or URL specifically is even indexed by using a site:search for that URL instead

If you have pages not indexed a couple suspects, 1) do you accidentally have a no index meta tag there 2) are the pages orphaned in your site and the bot has no way to get there.

yes, I know how to do the site search. What I am trying to avoid is doing the site search on so many pages trying to figure out which ones are not indexed.

I absolutely have some orphaned pages. However, I have been able to get around that by doing some individual google fetch and indexing requests in webmasters tools.

Do I want orphaned pages? No but the nature of the site does not lend itself to having a page with dozens of internal links to connect to those pages.

To give you some perspective without advertising for my site here, I will make up an example. Suppose I have a site that is all about food. I may have a main burger page with general content about burgers but also pages that talk about burgers in Arizona, a page for Alabama, for all 50 states. Each one of those pages have their own content and get ranked on their own and do well (most of them) for key word searches in their area. Now, I could on a main page for burgers list all of the states at the bottom with an active link taking someone to each state page which would also solve the orphan situation. However, it is my belief (not necessarily a fact) that google would frown upon that tactic.

If you're looking for good and inexpensive web designers go to a site like guru.com or upwork.com.

You can post your web design project with no obligation and you'll get bids from designers all over the world.

You can check out their design portfolios online and choose the one that's best for your project.

There's no risk that out-of-market web designer will steal your money, because all the freelancer websites will keep your money in escrow and won't release the funds until the project is done and you're satisfied.

seriously send me an e-mail. We can talk over the weekend if you want. After I hear what kind of site you are looking for, I can give you an idea as to how to get it done professionally yet at a reasonable cost.
