      We saw a spike in the total number of indexed URLs (17,000 to 165,000)--what would be the most efficient way to find out what the newly indexed URLs are?

        Search site:yourdomain.com, click on "Search Tools" in the left column and choose "Last week" (or within whatever period you saw the increase in indexed pages).

        Or, you can choose "Past Year" and then choose "Sort by Date" - this will give you the latest links indexed in order.

          You can use the SEOmoz OSE you can use your google webmaster tools and you can also use Majestic . 17,000 to 165,000 indexed pages is a huge jump.

            Hi Oleg,

            Just tried that, but, it is only showing 300 URLs for the past week and 600 for the past month..

              The rest are most likely put into the supplemental index (are duplicates). I'd review GWT and analyze crawl stats, crawl errors, and html improvements.

              Do you have 165k pages on your site? If not, it's probably some sort of error.

                You can also try searching your URL in google using exact paramaters...

                inurl:http://www.yourdomain.com

                or if you dont have a www.

                inurl:http://yourdomain.com
