  Indexing of pages on Google

  I recently made some changes to the content of my website, so I am currently following a bit more closely the behaviour of the friendly Googlebot. One of the things that puzzles me is the fact that additional pages are getting indexed, but some previously indexed pages disappear. Can anyone shed any light on the why’s and how’s of pages getting indexed and de-indexed?

  Re: Indexing of pages on Google

  Hello Marc,
  
  I would like to suggest you to re-submit your sitemap. xml to Google webmaster tool.
  
  Check all the links on website are working properly or not and remove all broken links before submitting to any search engines.
  
  I hope this will work for you.
  
  If you need more information on that please don't hesitate to ask me.

  Re^2: Indexing of pages on Google

  Hello Rahul,
  
  Thanks for the reply, but I fear these have nothing to do with it. I am already using Google sitemaps for quite a while and according to Google, there are no errors with it. I am also quite sure that all links are OK.
  
  No, I have more the impression that Google, intentially or not, reports erroneous results regarding indexing. Example, when I use Google webmaster tools to check for the number of indexed pages for one of my sites, Google reports 72 pages. When I do a search in Google with site:mysite.com, I get 84 results. So, perhaps they are just trying to confuse the SEO guys?

  Re^3: Indexing of pages on Google

  Hi Marc,
  When you perform your link:site query, are you using the same search engine than when using Google's webmaster tools? I'm not sure at all about this. There are significant differences between google.com and google.es results, for instance.
  Maybe you've defined to filter by some specific languages, too.
  Regards,
  Ivan.

  Re^4: Indexing of pages on Google

  Hi Marc,
  according to my experience you need more time to wait when Google complete his work accurately.
  Probably Google has its own table of importance for each site for indexing.
  Some sites are indexed faster and some sites - slowly.

  Re^5: Indexing of pages on Google

  Thanks for the suggestions.
  
  However, the problem seems to be Google.
  
  At the moment, the webmasters tools' Sitemaps page still mentions 72 pages indexed, 143 URLs submitted in sitemap (there is a large part not yet indexed since I recently added quite a bit of pages).
  
  In the same webmaster tools > Statistics > Index stats, when you select the operator 'site:', the search command 'http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.mysite.com&hl=en... is executed, resulting in 84 pages being indexed.
  
  Just guessing, I suppose...
  
  Have fun,
