SEO – Session Part -11

Moving forward, today we’ll be learning Ways to count Index links:

…Oh wait a second!

D’you know what ‘Index links’ are?

Index Links: It is the count of links or pages of your website that are being indexed (or noted down or recognized or picked up) by the search engines.

Note-Worthy Note: Make sure your website is made in a search-engine friendly format so that they have easy access to all links in your website. You must have read in one of our previous sessions, ‘SiteMaps’, which emphasizes its skill in helping Search Engines index all your pages – It is indeed very very important. Go back and check if you’ve missed it… Now!

Well, here we stop the history and proceed with the future. Let's learn ways to count the links of your website indexed by 3 of the world’s major Search Engines: Google, Yahoo & Bing.

Way 1:

For Google:

Step1: Go to http://www.google.com/

Step2: Type this: ‘site:v-empower.com’ and click on ‘Search’ option.

Format: site:Domain.com

NOTE: Do NOT give any space before or after colon.

For Yahoo:

Step1: Go to http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

Step2: Type only the domain name of your website.
Example:           if your webites’ URL is http://www.v-empower.com/

                        Type: v-empower.com
Step3: The ‘Pages’ count is your index link count.

For Bing:

Step1: Go to http://www.bing.com/

Step2: Type this: ‘site:v-empower.com’ and click on ‘Search’ option.

Format: site:website_domain_name

NOTE: Do NOT give any space before or after colon.




Way 2:

Using the ‘SEO toolbar’ – follow the below steps:

Step1: Right-click on the ‘Quirk Icon’ (shown as circled ‘q’ in your bar)

Step2: Now select ‘Show Indexed Pages’option.

Step3: Choose a Search Engine.

Step4: A new page will open up in your browser listing all the indexed links of your website by that particular Search Engine.

NOTE: You may click option ‘All’ if you want to know index link count for all the available Search Engines – Each Search Engine result is displayed in a separate window.
