Find out what the engines think are your most important pages
This is an easy one – it’s not perfect, but it will give you a fairly good idea of which pages on your site have the most “juice” with each of the engines. Use the query format – site:yourdomain.com inurl:www (sorry folks who don’t use the www). Here’s some examples:
- http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aseomoz.org+inurl%3Awww (I note that this matches up almost exactly with the data webmaster central gives me for pages with the most links)
- http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=site%3Aseomoz.org+inurl%3Awww – Yahoo! has a bit of a different opinion (but still looks very relevant)
- http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=site%3Aseomoz.org+www – at Live.com, they don’t allow the “inurl” operator, so you can just use “www” which may skew things a bit, but you’re still likely to see many of the most important pages first
This can be very useful for figuring out where your high link juice pages are and re-directing some of the goodness over to places that need it.
