How can I get a listing of just the URLs that are indexed in Google
-
I know I can use the site: query to see all the pages I have indexed in Google, but I need a listing of just the URLs. We are doing a site re-platform and I want to make sure every URL in Google has a 301. Is there an easy way to just see the URLs that Google has indexed for a domain?
-
This question still remains unanswered, why did it get marked answered?

Ok, you haven't stated how big the site is. As I already stated, Google will not show you everything it has in it's index, Yahoo will give 1000, SEOMoz might have additional, also check your Google Webmaster Tools (if you have that setup).
The second thing to keep in mind is incoming links from other places. It sounds like there was no housekeeping before the restructure, so I would keep an eye on the web server logs, analytics, etc. and add 301's for anything else that comes in that doesn't exist.
It's not just about Google, it's also about the user experience. Going to a non-existent page can give the impression that whatever they are looking for is no longer mentioned on your website, which potentially looses customers.

If you import the TSV into Excel you will get a column of just the URLS

It didnt fully answer the question cause I was only able to get the first 1000 URLS. I need to get the entire list.

Well here it is for those paying attention to this thread:

Not sure if posting a link will work, they tend not to for me, you can always copy and paste.
I'm considering the YOUMoz addition and already sent you an email Jennifer

A bit of a teaser... our new Firefox toolbar that's coming out soon will have the ability in the SERP overlay to download the page of SERPs
-
Ooh that would be great to let others use, maybe even a YOUmoz post?
-
Your welcome. If that fully answered your question please mark it as answered.
-
Thanks, that let me grab the first 1000.

As Google will not show you everything, even using the site command, I use Yahoo SiteExplorer:
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=seomoz.org&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s
and wrote a PHP script to take the TSV it exports and create a line for each page. I could probably make that available for use one one of my sites.

You may want to do that from an xml sitemap. You can find sites out there that will build a sitemap for you for free and then just open it in excel and you should have all of your urls in a list. NOw that doesn't answer your question of just the urls in google, but you will get all of the ones in google and then some if you do it the way suggested. Better overkill than underkill. Hope that helps!

Is there a way to get Google to index more of your pages for SEO ranking?
We have a 100 page website, but Google is only indexing a handful of pages for organic rankings. Is there a way to submit to have more pages considered? I have optimized meta data and get good Moz "on-page graders" or the pages & terms that I am trying to connect....but Google doesn't seem to pick them up for ranking. Any insight would be appreciated!

URL gets cut off in Google
Hi everybody, I got a question concerning my website URLs. It's a large WordPress website and we've got a lot of categorised pages ('parent' / 'child'). Now when I search for a specific page I only get to see the 'parent' name in the URL. The page which I am looking for isn't visible. Only a small arrow which shows me 2 options (in cache and compare). The URLs are not too long. Does anybody know why this happens, and how I can solve it? I added a image for reference. (Where /partners/ is the parent page and /partners/aruba/ isn't visible) Thank you very much. LSsT1Ua

How can you get accurate search traffic volumes?
I have been trying to get accurate search volumes for the search term "how to dance" in the UK. The results seems to vary wildly. Please could someone tell me how many people actually search for this term each month in the UK on Google (or any other search engine for that matter!)? Thank you!

Crawl reveals hundreds of urls with multiple urls in the url string
The latest crawl of my site revealed hundreds of duplicate page content and duplicate page title errors. When I looked it was from a large number of urls with urls appended to them at the end. For example: http://www.test-site.com/page1.html/page14.html or http://www.test-site.com/page4.html/page12.html/page16.html some of them go on for a hundred characters. I am totally stymied, as are the people at my ISP and the person who talked to me on the phone from SEOMoz. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks So much for any help you can offer! Jean

301 an old URL with a ? in the URL?
I am redoing a site and the URL's are changing structure. The client's site was in magento and in the store they would get two URLs, for example: /store/categoryname/productname and /store/categoryname/productname?SID=dslkajsfdoiu947598whouieht983hg98 Do I have to 301 redirect both of these URL's to their new counterpart? Both go to the same content but magento seemed to add these SIDs into the navigation and Google has both versions in the index.

How do I get content to be indexed at the top?
I have a paragraph at the top of my homepage. I was told I could use css to make the content visually appear at the bottom of the page but it would still get indexed at the top of the page, still giving it the same level of importance. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
