i'm wondering why, when i visit Google Webmaster Tools and click on sitemaps, it says URLs Submitted: 61 URLs Indexed: 4 yet, when i do site:mydomain.com it returns 109 results? i was under the impression that site:mydomain.com tells me exactly how many pages are indexed. why am i getting 109 on the SERP and 4 in Webmaster Tools? my only theory is that the SERP gives the FULL index (main and supplemental) and WebMaster Tools only gives the Main Index. Or does supplemental exist anymore?
I had similar issues with the site index stuff about google. My best guess right now is that it may be because it's a new site.
My sites get the same problem,I think Google is updating,the right results will be available after that.
Yes, my friend Google seems to be updating its search algorithm... thatz the reason we are facing such issues. Hope it will be rectified soon by the Big G
do not believe this "site:mydomain.com" Google sometimes do not display actual indexed and backlink pages....
GWT shows pages indexed in google.com domain. There are always difference between your local google domain and google.com listings.
