It is important to know which pages the search engines have indexed on your site.  Not only does it allow you to tweak your TITLE tags, page copy and metadata, but it also gives you an indication of how your search engine optimisation efforts are going over time and how good your competitors are at SEO too.

To see how many of your pages are indexed in Google, type the following into Google Search:

site:your URL

A search using site:www.boomerangbooks.com returns 3580 results.  My competitors, Dymocks, have over 311,000 results, so I have some work to do.

As you can see, it's also a useful tool for checking up on your competitors.

ACTIONS:
