I use the site: search string a LOT, but have never noticed this before. Got a new site http://www.45-year-old-millionaire.co.uk/ that went live a week ago, runs on WordPress and so far very few links (not started on the links campaign yet). I've been checking the sites indexing progress in Google with a site: search and today noticed if I add a / to the domain name it only finds the home page! So site:http://www.45-year-old-millionaire.co.uk Currently finds 6 pages from the domain, but site:http://www.45-year-old-millionaire.co.uk/ Only finds the home page. Not noticed this before, though I don't make a habit of using both forms, normally do a backlink check via the Google toolbar then replace the word link with site and link: search for a home page always has a / (link:http://www.45-year-old-millionaire.co.uk/). Strange it should give separate results for these identical site: searches (should be identical). Hmm, while I was typing this now both results show the same indexed pages. Google's playing mind games with me now Cool, I'm number 1 for '45 Year Old Millionaire' and number 2 for 'Old Millionaire'. David Law
Some times this happens and this is due to small bug in Google's index This is because Google's indexer is looking www.site.com and www.site.com/ as two different sites instead of one... EDIT: check here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:http://www.45-year-old-millionaire.co.uk&btnG=Search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:http://www.45-year-old-millionaire.co.uk/&btnG=Search Did you check your site's index in google.co.uk?
