How To Check If A Page is Indexed?

    Hello,

    I bet you think now that I am a noob related to SEO.

    But my question is based on how to check if a dynamic
    webpage is indexed in google. The strange thing is when
    I type a keyphrase (mostly long tail) and I see the results
    then everything I see would mean that those pages are
    indexed otherwise they wouldn't appear in the results.

    ok, but when I copy the long and complicated url and
    paste it into the search bar of google, this page doesnt
    show up in the results section which normally means that
    this page is not indexed. but this is not true, cause I saw it
    and copied this same url from the results page of google!

    So, is there a way to check out if a dynamic page is
    indexed or not?

    thanks

    If you type the following into google and it returns something that means your page is currently in the primary index.
    blog.holiday-trips.co.uk/index.php/hiking-camping-insect-bites
    If it returns nothing type in the following
    site:blog.holiday-trips.co.uk/index.php/hiking-camping-insect-bites
    If this returns a link that means your page has been indexed but has been placed in the supplementary index. You won't get shown on searches if your page is supplemental.
    If the second one returns nothing that means you are not indexed.

    use "cache:your_page_full_url" to search on google for dedicated page

    google search is based on keywords and NOT on page url to search.
    So,if you want to see if your dynamic pages are indexed or not,then, put exact page title along with your domain name in google search box.

    This should show you the power of backlinks.

    Your URL does not show up in a simple search because no one has linked
    to it with the URL as the anchor text.

    When you search, (without special operators like site: ), Google will only show
    results for pages IF someone has linked with that query as anchored text.


    get it?

    that is not correct! google will show results for all pages which are indexed! there is
    no necessity for backlinks with the keyword as the anchor, this will strengthen this
    certain page, but its not a must!

    that is correct, but this doesnt mean that you cannot put the exact url in the search bar.
    doing this will show you if the page or site is indexed! and generally google shows results even
    for complicated urls with php or aspx.

    Guess, the problem I described is much more difficult than I thought.
