    an easy way is to type in your site in quotes, for example
    "www.yoursite.com" in google.

        technically that means you have 4 backlinks, if it shows your site, then your site is indexed, if it shows pages of your site, they are indexed as well.

            If your site or any of your sites pages show up on google, that means they are indexed. those 4 backlinks you have are indexed by google, you could have more waiting that have not been crawled yet. Although, this isn't the best way to check backlinks, it is just an easy way to tell if your site has been indexed by google.

              So what about when I do it without quotes?

                When you do it without quotes or choose the "show results without quotes," it will show you all the links to each of your main backlinks (the ones that count). Like I bet since you have your website in your signature link, you have a backlink from the warrior forum, so when you uncheck the quotes on google, it will show all the posts you have posted in on this forum (all the posts that include your website url of course).

    If you want to see what pages Google indexed from you site, then type the following in the search field:

    site:YourSiteURL

    The best way I learned was putting "www.yourdomain.com" in google (make sure its in brackets) and ussually most or all the pages you created will slowly get indexed as time goes by
