Site Indexing

I have a site and I'm trying to fully optimize it for seo purposes but how do i check to see if it's indexed? like thru google or yahoo. how can i check to see if it's indexed?

thanks

 

Hello,
Use check about software for "rank check" in google . I use IBP or WebCEO .
WebCEO is freeware.

 

search for
site:www.yoursite.com

in google or yahoo. the pages that appears are indexed

 

thanks guys...

 

well this has become a larger task then i imagined it to be...

I built this site and a WP site along with it.

www.2007escalade.net
www.2007escalade.net/escalade

...and it appears the WP site is not indexed...the articles are not findable or searchable in search engines by way of the article title.

I have quite a few WP sites...i don't like to say 'blogs' because my WP sites are all feed generated.

Are there any SEO plugins that i can enable in WP? I feel like these WP sites i have are useless at this point.

 

check the cached page in google, that will tell wheather is it indexed or not.

try the webmaster central, and yahoo site explorer, it will give you better knowhow!!

 

thanks for pointing me in the right direction uttoransen

but how do i check the cached page in google? where is that?

 

www.2007escalade.net and www.2007escalade.net/escalade are indexed; however, the pages within, which are the single article pages are not indexed, and that is our goal to get them indexed.

what can i do about this? how can i get those pages indexed? for example this page is not indexed http://www.2007escalade.net/escalade/learn-how-to-properly-check-tire-pressure-3.html

 

get a better link structure. i am not sure how urs works, but every single page of urs should be accessible from the home page in 3 clicks (3 levels) at most. i am not familiar with WP so i am not sure if this can be done.
also, add in a site map that will have ALL of ur articles, and have it linked at the home page, or even every single page.

for examples of good site maps, see google, adobe, apple, ebay site maps. these are the ones i use for reference.

i see urs only have 4 links, which is very very bad. have as many as possible, but not too many or it becomes spammy. maybe someone with better knowledge than me can advise on this.

 

thanks zenite...good report

as far as WP functionalities i'm not to sure of...i mean i have had up to 25 WP sites up for various clients. The ones i'm working on right now are not really blogs...there all rss feeds generating articles on a daily basis.

I guess the main things right now that i'm trying to focus on are these:

1. indexing our article pages. our home page www.2007escalade.net is indexed but our single pages for example here http://www.2007escalade.net/escalade/learn-how-to-properly-check-tire-pressure-3.html
is not indexed. (btw..if you go here you'll get redirected to our home page ) ...nevermind...i took the redirect off for now

2. finding a plugin if there is one? ...for key metas for our posts...not for our pages...but for our posts...all these articles are generated by a cronjob and i don't know if establishing metas with keywords needs to go in there or if it's a plugin or if i have to manually place them in there, which seems ridiculous because there's so many posts per day.

3. Creating a sitemap...i have no idea how to utilize the sitemap in WP.

Can you or someone advise here on these? Appreciate the feedbacks and help

 

i found a plugin called add-meta-keys plugin and it's working so i can scratch that off the list

 

i enabled the sitemap plugin (SiteInfo) but can't seem to see the sitemap http://www.2007escalade.net/siteinfo.xml

what am i doing wrong here?
