“Indexed By Google?” will check any URL and quickly let you know if Google has indexed it.

It works like this:

Sometimes Google indexes pages with “www” in front, and sometimes without it.
You may need to search Google both ways to make sure your page is indexed.
IndexedByGoogle.com saves you time by checking both versions with Google.

We even have a bookmarklet!

Check it out and let us know what you think: IndexedByGoogle.com.

247WallSt.com features: a host of social networking tools; Email post to a friend, post to Facebook, Follow on Twitter, Share This, Digg, Yahoo Buzz, Delicious, Fark and Reddit.  We also integrated the Intense Debate enhanced comment system, and a tabbed interface in the sidebar to highlight popular posts and the Editor’s picks.  Setting a post as a “Featured Article” highlights it on all pages.
