page indexed

Am I correct in thinking to check if a page is indexed in google, I just put the url of the page into the google search box and if a result comes up then it is indexed, and if no result comes up then it is not indexed.

thanks

 

No,you need to use the site command..like this
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=site:www.digitalpoint.com&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

 

no, not exactly, search this: site:www.yoursite.com and your site results will come up.

 

but you could do this yeh:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=http://www.digitalpoint.com/tips/&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

 

You should also check the cached date. That will give you an idea of how fresh the content is and how much Google cares about it.

 

like this"site:chinaemarketing.com"

not put the url of the page into the google search box

 

Check via site: operator.

 

however, ive often seen cases where a page is cached but doesn't show up in the serps
and once i saw a case where a page shows up in the serps but is not cached...

 

e.g.

this page: http://www.casinocashjourney.co.uk/links3(dot)htm

it comes up in google when you just put it in the search box, but not when you put "site:" in front of it.

is it indexed?
