google is updating it's database... i got indexed for my website only 10-30 pages until today ... when i accidentaly did a site: command see that i am having 3000-200 000 pages indexed/ site!!! Edit/Delete Message
the key question however is how many pages do you have really recently G had some 155'000 pages for my domain i have some 5000 real pages all else was but db erro from G side and they are yet far from having recovered / corrected that error allthough i have now between 4.5k to 153k pages depending on datacenbters used - but these erorrs are since months and change little toward true data may be it's G policy to have as many pages as possible to be biggest by nr of pages in db to increase its virtual value as a company other than that G has started to recover from its june 27 2006 partial db loss and is slowly rebuilding its damaged db - this may occur as an update to some - to me its but a fix of most severe db problems G had and still has while avoiding a total dump of all and total rebuild of all data for all concerned domains
For one of my domains it shows Results 1 - 7 of about 32,100,000. The site has about 50,000 pages so I don't understand how it can have "about 32 million" pages...
it is the same as in my case - and looks very much like a db out of control filled with garbage or damaged db that seems to be a Google bug these past nearly 2 onths now and G seems to be little successful in fixing the data but this wrong data of course MAY lead to an automated penalty since all NON-existing pages might be identical most likely - since non-existent - hence empty pages or 0 bytes pages or so may be report it to Google customer support at http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py
I've been seeing complete madness across a number of my sites - one in particular shows almost 1.5 million pages and the site has about 4000. Is this another problem with the 'site' command again? This was supposed to have been resolved ages ago. EDIT***** After posting this I checked through the API and that seems to be returning the correct number of results.
