changes in the reported number seemed to be more in sync with SEO problems or fixes. So if you still want to find out how many pages your domain has in the index how do you do it? Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and submit xml sitemaps for every URL on your domain. The Sitemaps report in GWT will then show the number of indexed URLs from your sitemaps (btw it’s not clear that this number is accurate either). My guess is getting more xml sitemaps submitted was one of the primary reasons that GOOG stopped re
porting this number. That and maybe saving bandwidth from all of those site: queries Asia ****** Number List
that nervous site owners did all day long. If you don’t want to give GOOG your data via GWT, then you can still do a fake site: query by using “inurl:<yourdomain>”. Make sure you don’t use “www” in the query (e.g. inurl:localseoguide.com). This isn’t a perfect query – sites that incorporate your domain into their URLs will show up (e.g. www.alexa.com/siteinfo/localseoguide.com), but for most sites this shouldn’t be a huge number of URLs. It’s hard
to judge how accurate this query is but I have tried it for several client sites and it seems to square up pretty well with how many pages they seem to have.If anyone has any other ideas to the comments and/or put them on your blog, link back here and it will show up in the trackbacks.

Jason,
