I'm hoping to find a tool or method to quickly compare a website's sitemap.xml with the results of a site:www.website.com search engine search. It's simple to do it for websites without many pages in them, but for, say, a huge wordpress site, every process I can think of becomes too cumbersome (e.g. creating spreadsheet lists by stripping URLs from both locations and sorting to compare). Does anyone know of a quicker and easier way? Many many thanks. Diane
If there isn't any, it would be a good idea for a new site! A little bit of PHP with Curl, and you'd be "off to the races"...
hhmmm.. that would be interesting... well since i do other link building/promotion i can't really tell if the indexed pages is bcoz of the sitemap submissions..
may be deejay just wants to compare/check the pages of a site for indexing status whatever may be the reason of indexing...that can be easily done for a few pages static website but is difficult for a dynamic portal. Without a tool it can be done but needs a spreadsheet playground and lil bit of time/skill. (BTW I do it manually)
I think the google webmaster tools already provides this information. it shows indexed urls of sitemap or something like that. I don't think any tool will be able to tell this accurately anyway because google never shows more then 1000 results for any queries.
