How to check which pages are indexed

How can you find out if your Web site is listed in the search engines? And if your site is listed, how can you find out which Web pages of your site are listed?We've assembled a list with step-by-step instructions for each search engine. Just replace "your-domain.com" with the domain name of your Web site.For best results, omit the "http://www." part, for example if your Web site is "http://www.Axandra.com", then use only "Axandra.com".

* AltaVista

1. Go to " http://www.AltaVista.com/ ".
2. Enter "host:your-domain.com" and click the Find button.

* AllTheWeb

1. Go to " http://www.AllTheWeb.com/ ".
2. Enter "url.host:your-domain.com" and click the Search button.

* AOL Search

1. Go to " http://search.aol.com/ ".
2. Enter "site:your-domain.com inurl:your-domain.com" and click the Search button.

* Dmoz / Open Directory

1. Go to " http://www.dmoz.org/ ".
2. Enter just "your-domain.com" and click the Search button.

* Google

2. Enter "site:your-domain.com inurl:your-domain.com" and click the Search button.

2. Enter "domain:your-domain.com" and click the Search button.

Go to http://listings.looksmart.com/help/faq.jhtml#sblb3j to get a detailed explanation how you can find your Web site on LookSmart and its partners.

* Lycos

2. Enter "url.all:your-domain.com" and click the Go button.

* MSN Search

1. Go to " http://search.msn.com/advanced.asp ".
2. Enter your domain name (without the "http://www." part) in the search box and enter it again in the "Domain:" box. Then click the Search button.

* Yahoo

1. Go to " http://search.yahoo.com/search/options ".
2. Enter your domain name in the "include all of y ur words" box, select the "Yahoo! Directory listings" option and click the Search button.

Some of the search engines above will "cluster" their search results, this means that they won't list all Web pages that they have indexed.

Ask Jeeves, Teoma, WiseNut and other search engines and directories are missing because they don't have commands to show which Web pages of your site are listed.

To find your Web pages in those search engines, you can try to search for your domain name.

Here's a general guide on how to effectively search the Internet.
