      Thanks for the info....My question is; when i go to google and type: site: xxx.com xxx.com and its show only 700 pages index. However in google webmaster show 11000 page index. My sitemap have over 11,250 links. Since I know NOT all pages are index and only missing 250 links i am okay with that. BUT why in google.com search only show 700?

      So how many page are index? 700 or 11000? i am confuse

        700 becuase google webmaster tools showing not correct data to you. I also facd this type of issues many times.

    The results from google and type: site: xxx.com xxx.com are never accurate. The only thing that's accurate is what you submitted to the index.

    It's possible that your pages are indexed, but just not in the main search results. Google doesn't show every article that's been posted.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
