SEOMOZ and Webmaster Tools showing Different Page Index Results

[ciznerguy]

I am promoting a jewelry e-commerce website.

The website has about 600 pages and the SEOMOZ page index report shows this number.

However, webmaster tools shows about 100,000 indexed pages. I have no idea why this is happening and I am sure this is hurting the page rankings in Google. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Guy

Do a site:yourdomain.com search on Google and see where all the extra pages are coming from. There could be some potential duplicate content issues.

Yes, I am aware that this creates duplicate content issue.

on the site command I see few pages (not all)

and to my surprise few are blocked in robot.txt many months ago.

this is very frustrating

Hi Guy,

I am experiencing the same thing. We have performed site: searches with negatives to narrow down where all the junk is coming from, and we have disallowed those subdirectories in our robots.txt file. It has worked somewhat but only cut the number of indexed pages in half. We still have well over our number of real pages. If you learn anything new, I'd like to hear about it!

thanks,

Katherine
