Say I have a brand new website that hasn't been indexed by google. I want to know how many pages the website has. It was generated with a script, it could have thousands or even millions of pages. How do I figure out exactly how many pages it has? Thanks.
Cant you have a look via ftp? You can also search on google for sitemap generator software. I cant remember what it was called but it will spider all your pages (Hopefully) and generate a list of urls.
Probably the easiest way would be to go to Yahoo and enter "site:yoururl.com" That should, in theory, give you a hit for each individual page although having just tested it on one of my sites it didn't work too well!
Well, the problem with the first reply is that all of the pages are generated on the fly via a PHP script, so on my server there's just a couple of scripts, no pages. The problem with the second suggestion (I've already tried) is that it's brand new and not indexed by the SE's yet. I've built it for per a clients request, and they want to know how many pages the site has. I'm going to feel pretty stupid saying "Hmm, not sure." I'd guess between 500k and a million, but I'd like to get at least a rough estimate before I give them a guess.
