Webmaster Tools: Total Indexed VS Ever Crawled

[Bondara]

Ok,

In WMT's under health > index status I have both total indexed and ever crawled ticked - It also looks like the data is broken up weekly.

As an example say you have the following:

Total Indexed: 1000

Ever Crawled: 5000

What is this say? It found 5000 pages but only indexed 1000 (20%).

Thanks

Index is the current number of pages in the Google Index, EC is total number of pages crawled (cumulative) over a given period.

Indexed will never be 100% of ever crawled for any site which has had pages removed, moved or url changed - this includes if you tell robots.txt to not index a folder once indexed (these go to ever crawled).

Hope that makes sense
