      My campaign for printlabelandmail.com says that seomoz has crawled 619 pages. My site, however, only has a little over 250 pages. Where are these extra pages?

      I did recently relaunched my website with wordpress. I was using Dreamweaver before.

      I thought I deleted all the old pages. Could these extra pages be old pages from the site prior to my relaunch?

      I hope my question makes sense. Any insights would be helpful.

      Thanks! Andrea

        A site: search of your site shows over 800 pages indexed by Google. Take a look at the search results or Google Webmaster Tools to figure out where the extra pages are coming from:

        https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aprintlabelandmail.com

        If you are using Wordpress, the likely culprits are: category pages, tag pages, archive pages, and paginated pages.

          As Takeshi noted, you've got a lot of pages like this:

          http://printlabelandmail.com/home/answer-4-questions_06-2/  (look, you just earned a link. I don't do that for everyone. 🙂

          I'm not certain if that is actual content, but it's likely not what you want in terms of user experience. I'd search for where those pages are being generated from and try to root out the cause.

          Also, because you are using Wordpress, I highly recommend using Yoast's Wordpress SEO plugin.
