How can I find out how many pages a website has?????

I want to build a website that rivals one of my competitors and I need an estimate of the number of pages that their site has.


Thanks for any help you can provide

Search for site:theirdomain.com and you will see how many pages they have indexed so far. You can't really tell exactly how many pages they have without spidering their site with something like Xenu

Simply go to Yahoo Site Explorer, it will give you a breakdown of Backlinks and Pages.

I wish you the best of luck

I thought I was the only one who used Yahoo to check my links.

Yep XENU or Screaming Frog Spider is the way to go.

Go to Google and do a query of:
site:www.site.com
or site:site.com

Or go to YSE and just put it the domain name
You'll get different results however

One other way would be to look at the sitemap.xml file
(you might get lucky if that site has one)
www.site.com/sitemap.xml

Ya scraping sitmap gives accurate results instead of checking the indexed pages in SE.
