          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.

                                  How google crawls images and which url shows as source?

                                  Hi, I noticed that some websites host their images to a different url than the one their actually website is hosted but in the end google link to the one that the site is hosted. Here is an example: This is a page of a hotel in booking.com: http://www.booking.com/hotel/us/harrah-s-caesars-palace.en-gb.html When I try a search for this hotel in google images it shows up one of the images of the slideshow. When I click on the image on Google search, if I choose the Visit Page button it links to the url above but the actual image is located in a totally different url: http://r-ec.bstatic.com/images/hotel/840x460/135/13526198.jpg My question is can you host your images to one site but show it to another site and in the end google will lead to the second one?

                                  URL Structure On Site - Currently it's domain/product-name NOT domain/category/product name is this bad?

                                  I have a eCommerce site and the site structure is domain/product-name rather than domain/product-category/product-name Do you think this will have a negative impact SEO Wise? I have seen that some of my individual product pages do get better rankings than my categories.

                                  Will Google Recrawl an Indexed URL Which is No Longer Internally Linked?

                                  We accidentally introduced Google to our incomplete site. The end result: thousands of pages indexed which return nothing but a "Sorry, no results" page. I know there are many ways to go about this, but the sheer number of pages makes it frustrating. Ideally, in the interim, I'd love to 404 the offending pages and allow Google to recrawl them, realize they're dead, and begin removing them from the index. Unfortunately, we've removed the initial internal links that lead to this premature indexation from our site. So my question is, will Google revisit these pages based on their own records (as in, this page is indexed, let's go check it out again!), or will they only revisit them by following along a current site structure? We are signed up with WMT if that helps.

                                  Special characters in URL

                                  Will registered trademark symbol within a URL be bad? I know some special characters are unsafe (#, >, etc.) but can not find anything that mentions registered trademark. Thanks!

                                  How long will Google take to stop crawling an old URL once it has been 301 redirected

                                  I need to do a clean-up old urls that have been redirected in sitemap and was wondering about this.

                                  Trailing Slashes In Url use Canonical Url or 301 Redirect?

                                  I was thinking of using 301 redirects for trailing slahes to no trailing slashes for my urls. EG: www.url.com/page1/ 301 redirect to www.url.com/page1 Already got a redirect for non-www to www already. Just wondering in my case would it be best to continue using htacces for the trailing slash redirect or just go with Canonical URLs?

                                  What tool do you use to check for URLs not indexed?

                                  What is your favorite tool for getting a report of URLs that are not cached/indexed in Google & Bing for an entire site? Basically I want a list of URLs not cached in Google and a seperate list for Bing. Thanks, Mark
