    Hi everyone,
    Just wondering which is the correct format to use for the site:domain search. I am getting dramatically different results for the following searches:

    site:domain.com results in 37000 results
    site:domain.com/ results in 8 results
    site:www.domain.com results in 37500 results
    site:www.domain.com/ results in 12 results

    Thanks for your help!

    I afraid These days the correct one is that gives you the smallest number, and to make sure you can use site:domain.com "url of a page out of the 8" see if you find it

    Thanks for this.
    It’s strange since Co-op still gives me a weight of 23000 on this particular site and the keyword tracker shows 30400 pages listed which hasn't changed for over a month now.

    it's strange how can site:domain.com have less pages than site:www.domain.com
    basically, domain.com should include www.domain.com

    That’s what I thought.
    Not sure anymore since all my sites show similar variations.
