I prefer this syntax

allinurl: vbulletin.org

I have 3... and none of them are for my forums. My forum is completely locked down, but I still get guests. Weird that the forum isn't there.

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,960. Search took 0.18 seconds

Hmmm:p

Thats DarkBlazes;)

Both of my other sites do not appear (as they aren't public yet:p)

Satan

Results 1 - 10 of about 5,380. Search took 0.28 seconds

No, use this:

accordtuner site:accordtuner.com

When I did it, I got this:

Results 1 - 10 of about 75

:)

Remember, the format is:

yourdomain site:yourdomain.com

Using that syntax gives you a smaller number.

For example, let's use:

accordtuner.com

as an example.

With your method, I could only get:

1 - 4 of about 51

Using my method, I got a lot more.



Also, with my private forums, using your method, I got:

Results 1 - 10 of about 50,200

Using my method, I got:

Results 1 - 10 of about 51,000



The method I use is a method that a few SEO's posted at a SEO forum a few years ago where I used to moderate. :)

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,570. Search took 0.21 seconds.

FFDiscovery.com: Results 1 - 10 of about 561. Search took 0.23 seconds.

FFRepublic.com: Results 1 - 10 of about 164. Search took 0.12 seconds.

Hmmm...only got 46 for my site and none of them are the forums themselves. I allow guests to view my forums so I wonder what's wrong?

Actually, Dave, I have to admit that I may be wrong.

Right now, if I use this format for my private forums:

domainname.com site:domainname.com

I get:

Results 1 - 10 of about 52,700

However, using your method:

allinurl: domainname.com

I get:

Results 1 - 10 of about 53,100

So your method is at the moment giving me more pages. :)

Bottom line: Try both methods and take both figures as they are.
