      Hi there,

      I am doing an SEO site audit for a client(giveaway,  and here is the problem:

      when performing site:domain.com on google --> 13,800 pages were found

      When I see this number it seems to be a bit too much compare to the links i checked on integrity(link check for broken links) which gave me a result of 1291. I digged in more into the Google results and saw hundreds(maybe thousands) of pages that are blocked by robots.txt. So I am thinking, ok this is it, thousands of pages can't be crawled by the search engines. Here is the big BUT though, then I check at my moz crawl (see attachment) and no pages are blocked by the SEs, and then look at the dups, only 23 recorded??

      Is Moz not crawling properly the 13,800 results that google finds or is this some magical phenomenon happening here? I am really confused here that is why I need some help here!

      Thank you guys!

        Dear Taysir,

        can you let me in on the domainname, then i can check the number of pages the website truly holds (google can also index pages linking to your content with the statement site:domain.com so i wouldn't be to hung up on that number).

        regards

        Jarno

          Hi Jarno,

          Unfortunately I can't really reveal the domain name because of our privacy policy...:(

          The extra thing I can provide though is that I was able to see only 440 results from google(44). I wasn't able to see the remaining so I have a feeling that Google went a little overboard here. Since the clients offer giveaways you might be right that google detects all the links pointing to this domain that are shared by visitors or prospects.

          What do you think?
