Indexed, but not.

    As weird as that sounds.

    As I was doing my daily check in Google Webmaster, I went to the index stats section to see how many of our pages have been indexed, and if any of the pages we added about three weeks ago, have also been indexed. Usually, when I don't feel like looking through GW, I just copy the page URL, then past it into the search field. If our page shows up, I know it's been indexed. Well, with some of these new pages, I've noticed that the URL's aren't even being found. .

    For example, lets say that I copy www*company*com/widgets/blue, and paste it into the google search field, I will get a message that says: "No results found for (above url)". Now, if I look through GW, it shows that the page has been indexed, and that is what I'm confused about. Why would it show up as indexed in GW, but not even exist in the SERP's?

    I hope I explained this correctly. If you want the exact page url, let me know.

    I had this happen a few days ago - after a couple days, the new page got "fully indexed".

    www*company*com/widgets/blue means a normal search while site:www*company*com/widgets/blue is a google command.

    If you type this www*company*com/widgets/blue in search box and you don't see any results it means that you don't have the exact links from other site.

    Your webpage isnt indexed yet. Last time when yourpage/filers/ was indexed is 14 Aug 2007 06:24:01 GMT. Just wait a little bit! On the next time, you will get yourpage/filers/fas900 indexed.
