My question is if Scrapebox is getting for example 528 results (well below the 1000) and Google is telling me it has 54,700, isn't there an inconsistency?
I would think scrapebox would pulling at least 1000 right since there is 54,7000 results from Google?
Its best said like this:
"In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice they aren't."
Meaning google says it limits results to 1000, but in reality for many queries, especially anything that uses advanced operators, they often return only 600 results or less. So open up that query in a browser set to 100 results per page. On page 1 it will say X thousands of results, try and go to page 10, which would be the 1000th result, at some point it will change to say like 500 results. Basically google is saying on page one, this is how many we have in our database, but when you start trying to view them they change it and basically say, but we are going to show you 600 or less because we feel for this particular query that if you have not found what your looking for by the time you reach result 600 then your not going to and we don't want to waste bandwidth to feed you more results.
In a nut shell anyway.
