    if i type in one of my domains in Google it says something in the region of 'displaying results 10-of 4604' however when i scroll through the results at the bottom of the screen they only go up to results page of 29 then at the top of the screen it says something like 'displaying results '290 - 293 of 293' - what happened to my other 4000 odd pages. I see this on numerous domains of mine

    i see it on numerous sites of mine but an example would be (sorry its adult based and a work in progress) www. pornisus.info

    There is nothing on that domain but stuff on 50 subdomains, the site went up to 250 pages indexed very fast and now not moved in 7 days. Am thinking it could be sandboxed which would be a pain

    The number of results is just an estimate, google doesn't show accurate data.

    well... some of those may be supplementary results.... which means they offer no true value to search results, or alternative, these may be duplicates found in other sites.
