Who Cares How Many Pages Google Indexes?
There have been multiple posts regarding Google’s index within the blog, so I wanted to clarify why it was such a big deal! Google defines indexing as:
Googlebot processes each of the pages it crawls in order to compile a massive index of all the words it sees and their location on each page. In addition, we process information included in key content tags and attributes, such as Title tags and ALT attributes. Googlebot can process many, but not all, content types.
The more pages that Google sees or indexes, the more opportunity your site has to appear in Google’s search results. For TKG.com, we have about 400 or so live pages; however Google is not seeing or indexing all of these pages because this newly purchased domain had been blacklisted and therefore removed from Google’s index altogether - so we’ve been reviewing Google Webmaster Tools, strategizing, implementing changes, etc. to ensure that Google indexes he majority of our new domain.
