          I've noticed that some of our URLs have recently dropped completely out of Google's index.

          When carrying out a URL inspection in GSC, it comes up with 'Crawled, currently not indexed'.

          Strangely, I've also noticed that under referring page it says 'None detected', which is definitely not the case.

          I wonder if it could be something to do with the following? https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ranking-index-drop-30192.html - It seems to be a bug affecting quite a few people.

          Here are a few examples of the URLs that have gone missing:

          https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/sexual-harassment-awareness-training

          https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/conflict-resolution-training

          https://www.ihasco.co.uk/courses/detail/prevent-duty-training

          Any help here would be massively appreciated!

              It seems like this issue is quite common lately. I have experienced something similar with some pages on my site InstPro.net which are not getting indexed properly either. any advice would be appreciated.

                              Hello,

                              since the beginning of ladykiller.nl I am having the same issues with Google to crawl sitemap(s) and index urls. I am using Yoast as a plugin for the sitemap.

                              For the moment +3620 urls are indexed, but my website has +10.000 urls :(.
                              Also from time to time I get a notice in GSC that Google can not fetch certain sitemap urls f.e. https://ladykiller.nl/post-sitemap.xml. Mostly the issue is fixed after a week or so. Please find print screen here: https://prnt.sc/Pm_h2Arjxu-k

                              Already asked on numerous forums for help, as I can not find a solution to get this problem fixed. However, without any good results so far.

                              Therefore, I am trying it here again in the hope maybe some of you guys have some better understanding of what the issue might be and how it can be fixed. All help is highly appreciated!

                              Thanks in advance for having a look into it :)!

                              Warm regards,
                              John

                                Hi there,

                                The third URL you are referencing, is actually indexed:

                                https://dmitrii-regexseo.tinytake.com/tt/NDY4NDY4N18xNDgzNjgzMA

                                As for "crawled, not indexed" - in most cases it happens because of one and only reason - Google is seeing your page as thin content, not worth being indexed. Typically it happens on bigger sites with a lot of similar pages. In your case, you got many courses, with exactly same structure. So, if the content is not completely different, then Google might deem it not worthy.

                                As for the bug you referenced - did your URLs drop off the index exactly at the time when this issue has been discovered? (aka within the last week?).

                                Do you have any cannibalization happening?

                                To me it looks like that's the case. If I do this search: "site:https://www.ihasco.co.uk/ Sexual Harassment Training course"

                                There are many pages that are indexed and are ranking: https://dmitrii-regexseo.tinytake.com/tt/NDY4NDcwN18xNDgzNjg4Mg

                                So, basically, you have pages that are more authoritative with similar content. Therefore your courses pages are dropping as thin content.

                                I would recommend doing some internal linking optimization to tell Google what is actually important. Look in GSC for internal links metrics.

                                Hope this helps.

                                  Removing a site from Google index with no index met tags

                                  Hi there! I wanted to remove a duplicated site from the google index. I've read that you can do this by removing the URL from Google Search console and, although I can't find it in Google Search console, Google keeps on showing the site on SERPs. So I wanted to add a "no index" meta tag to the code of the site however I've only found out how to do this for individual pages, can you do the same for a entire site? How can I do it? Thank you for your help in advance! L

                                  Japanese URL-structured sitemap (pages) not being indexed by Bing Webmaster Tools

                                  Hello everyone, I am facing an issue with the sitemap submission feature in Bing Webmaster Tools for a Japanese language subdirectory domain project. Just to outline the key points: The website is based on a subdirectory URL ( example.com/ja/ ) The Japanese URLs (when pages are published in WordPress) are not being encoded. They are entered in pure Kanji. Google Webmaster Tools, for instance, has no issues reading and indexing the page's URLs in its sitemap submission area (all pages are being indexed). When it comes to Bing Webmaster Tools it's a different story, though. Basically, after the sitemap has been submitted ( example.com/ja/sitemap.xml ), it does report an error that it failed to download this part of the sitemap: "page-sitemap.xml" (basically the sitemap featuring all the sites pages). That means that no URLs have been submitted to Bing either. My apprehension is that Bing Webmaster Tools does not understand the Japanese URLs (or the Kanji for that matter). Therefore, I generally wonder what the correct way is to go on about this. When viewing the sitemap ( example.com/ja/page-sitemap.xml ) in a web browser, though, the Japanese URL's characters are already displayed as encoded. I am not sure if submitting the Kanji style URLs separately is a solution. In Bing Webmaster Tools this can only be done on the root domain level ( example.com ). However, surely there must be a way to make Bing's sitemap submission understand Japanese style sitemaps? Many thanks everyone for any advice!

                                  301 Redirects, Sitemaps and Indexing - How to hide redirected urls from search engines?

                                  We have several pages in our site like this one, http://www.spectralink.com/solutions, which redirect to deeper page, http://www.spectralink.com/solutions/work-smarter-not-harder. Both urls are listed in the sitemap and both pages are being indexed. Should we remove those redirecting pages from the site map? Should we prevent the redirecting url from being indexed? If so, what's the best way to do that?

                                  Blocked URL parameters can still be crawled and indexed by google?

                                  Hy guys, I have two questions and one might be a dumb question but there it goes. I just want to be sure that I understand: IF I tell webmaster tools to ignore an URL Parameter, will google still index and rank my url? IS it ok if I don't append in the url structure the brand filter?, will I still rank for that brand? Thanks, PS: ok 3 questions :)...

                                  Will blocking the Wayback Machine (archive.org) have any impact on Google crawl and indexing/SEO?

                                  Will blocking the Wayback Machine (archive.org) by adding the code they give have any impact on Google crawl and indexing/SEO? Anyone know? Thanks! ~Brett

                                  Instant Indexing

                                  I've been  working on a site for a while now, methodically building content and building trust and authority. Lately I've noticed that anything I publish there appears to be instantly indexed by Google, which surprises me. I haven't had this happen before so I'm curious. I'd be interested to hear the experience of others.

                                  Does it really matter to maintain 301 redirect after de-indexing of old URLs?

                                  Today, I was reading latest blog post on SEOmoz blog about. Uncrawled 301s - A Quick Fix for When Relaunches Go Too Well This is very interesting study about 301 & How it useful to maintain traffic. I'm working on eCommerce website and I have done similar stuff on my website. I have big confusion to manage 301 redirect. My website generates new URLs due to following actions. Re-write dynamic URLs. Re-launch entire website on different eCommerce platform. [osCommerce to Magento Commerce] Re-name category. Trasfer one product from one category to another category. I'm managing my 301 redirect with old practice. Excel sheet data from Google webmaster tools and set specific new URLs for redirect. Hoooo... Now, I have 8.5K redirect in htaccess... And, I'm thinking it's too much. Can we remove old 301 redirect from htaccess or not? This is big question for me. Because, all pages are not hyperlink on external website. Google have just de-indexed old URLs and indexed new URLs. So, Is it require to maintain 301 redirect after Google process?

                                  Does Google pass link juice a page receives if the URL parameter specifies content and has the Crawl setting in Webmaster Tools set to NO?

                                  The page in question receives a  lot of quality traffic but is only relevant to a small percent of my users. I want to keep the link juice received from this page but I do not want it to appear in the SERPs.
