google increased my indexed pages to Results 1 - 10 of about 39,300 from www.lincolnvscadillac.com Yesterday it was 29,000 However my weight hasnt increased. Why?
are you maxed? maybe the coop looks at a different data server? maybe it takes 100 hours to update? maybe it's maybelline
I wonder what hitting the cap feels like.... Like a soft comfy pillow? Ah, what a feeling.... I bet it smells like roses too... *sniiiiif*
The API sometimes takes about a day to reflect increases that are shown on Google.com. I don't know what your previous number was (or if this still is the previous number), but the API currently gives 12000 pages for your site.
Well my indexed pages increase day by day but my weight isnt. At some point there is the maximum to achieve. Guess will need to wait for another PR update.
"thats strange - cause ive had 30k or so for awhile" The API has its own idea on how many pages there are on your site. You could have 500,000 more pages that Googlebot visits yet still only have the 12,000 in the API. The API is always lower - usually much lower - than what Google.com lists. Your site has probably been at 12,000 for awhile.
how can you see where my site is at? And the API info was optional - are you telling me im better off taking my API out?
Didnt make any difference for me. My weight didnt increase nor decreased with or without the API key.
No, it's not something you can control or something you can choose. The API is the process that digital point's server uses to determine the number of pages. The API key allows you to access Google's statistics programatically - without going through their web site. I really can't tell you why the results are different, but it seems like the results from the API take into several additional factors when returning the total number of pages. It's this way for all web sites and you shouldn't feel cheated that it only says 12,000 when you really have closer to 40,000. I can see where your site is at because I used my API key and I wrote a quick script that returns the number of pages for a domain according to the API.
http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/175 is what I started with. You have to have nusoap installed on the server you run it from. It was a simple installation as soon as I figured out where to download it from (Sorry, I don't remember the site). Then, just change the query to a "site:..." and then somewhere output $result['return']['estimatedTotalResultsCount'] (that output is what I currently use and it works. I seem to remember having trouble with it though... I think the example might have been wrong for some reason) If I have time over the weekend I'll clean up my script and post it.
