A bit more research.
To give some examples
www.rac.co.uk
I guess they might have 11,700 pages
www.chloe.com
A smaller example
We're working on the basis that Google guesses using an algorithm that
raises the guesstimate or the guesstimate error exponentially the greater
the number of pages there are actually indexed.
My site in question has 1810 links when link checked, quite a few will be
external but Google reports 10,700 results.
www.motor.org.uk
And the SEO "expert" is scaring the client into thinking the site will get
banned.
Anybody else want to put their domains into Google's advanced search, LMK if
I'm in the majority or the minority.
