hi all,
I'm fooling around with the google api - creating some handy monitoring tools for the sites I promote - and came across some weird values and I hope one of you can help me better understand the results.
I'm interested in the pages-indexed-by-google number, so I run a query like:
site:www.domdomdom.com www.domdomdom.com
or
site:www.domdomdom.com domdomdom
but when I compare these results with what google.com says I get this:
site1:
api: 1000
google.com: 580.000
site2:
api: 2500
google.com: 20.000
(sites have about the same age - and both are spidered very hard)
what does die site:* query tells me? Is the number of results useful? It looks very strange.
anyone else seeing these weird results?
