          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.

                                  Do URLs with canonical tags get indexed by Google?

                                  Hi, we re-branded and launched a new website in February 2016. In June we saw a steep drop in the number of URLs indexed, and there have continued to be smaller dips since. We started an account with Moz and found several thousand high priority crawl errors for duplicate pages and have since fixed those with canonical tags. However, we are still seeing the number of URLs indexed drop. Do URLs with canonical tags get indexed by Google? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this. A good portion of our URLs have canonical tags because they are just events with different dates, but otherwise the content of the page is the same.

                                  Vanity URLs are being indexed in Google

                                  We are currently using vanity URLs to track offline marketing, the vanity URL is structured as www.clientdomain.com/publication, this URL then is 302 redirected to the actual URL on the website not a custom landing page. The resulting redirected URL looks like:  www.clientdomain.com/xyzpage?utm_source=print&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=printcampaign. We have started to notice that some of the vanity URLs are being indexed in Google search. To prevent this from happening should we be using a 301 redirect instead of a 302 and will the Google index ignore the utm parameters in the URL that is being 301 redirect to?  If not, any suggestions on how to handle? Thanks,

                                  Numbers in URL

                                  Hey guys! Need your many awesome brains. 🙂 This may be a very basic question but am hoping you can help me out with some insights beyond "because Google says it's better". 🙂 I only recently started working with SEO, and I work for a SaaS website builder company that has millions of open/active user sites, and all our user sites URLs, instead of www.mydomainname.com/gallery or myusername.simplesite.com/about, we use numbers, so www.mysite.com/453112 or myusername.simplesite.com/426521 The Sales manager has asked me to figure out if it will pay off for us in terms of traffic (other benefits?) to change it from the number system to the "proper" and right way of setting up these URLs. He's looking for rather concrete answers, as he usually sits with paid search and is therefore used to the mindset of "if we do x it will yield us y in z months". I'm finding it quite difficult to find case studies/other concrete examples beyond the generic, vague implication that it will simply be "better" (when for example looking at SEO checklists and search engine guidelines). Will it make a difference? How so? I have to convince our developers of the importance and priority of this adjustment, or it will just drown in the many projects they already have. So truly, any insights would be so very welcome. Thank you!

                                  A. domain.com/main-keyword/state/city-region/resort-name
                                  _    domain.com/family-condo-for-rent/orlando-florida/liki-tiki-village_ _   domain.com/main-keyword-in-state-city/resort-name-feature    _
                                  _   domain.com/family-condo-for-rent/orlando-florida/liki-tiki-village/kid-friend-pool_ B. Another way to structure would be to remove the location and keyword folders and combine. Note that some of the resort names are long and spaces are being replaced dynamically with dashes. 
                                  ex. domain.com/main-keyword-in-state-city/resort-name
                                  _      domain.com/family-condo-for-rent-in-orlando-florida/liki-tiki-village_ _      domain.com/main-keyword-in-state-city/resort-name-feature_
                                  _      domain.com/family-condo-for-rent-in-orlando-florida/liki-tiki-village-kid-friend-pool_ Question: is that too many folders or should i combine or break up? What would you do with this? Trying to avoid too many dashes.

                                  My old URL's are still indexing when I have redirected all of them, why is this happening?

                                  I have built a new website and have redirected all my old URL's to their new ones but for some reason Google is still indexing the old URL's. Also, the page authority for all of my pages has dropped to 1 (apart from the homepage) but before they were between 12 to 15. Can anyone help me with this?

                                  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.

                                  Why google index my IP URL

                                  hi guys, a question please. if site:112.65.247.14 , you can see google index our website IP address, this could duplicate with our darwinmarketing.com content pages. i am not quite sure why google index my IP pages while index domain pages, i understand this could because of backlink, internal link and etc, but i don't see obvious issues there, also i have submit request to google team to remove ip address index, but seems no luck. Please do you have any other suggestion on this? i was trying to do change of address setting in Google Webmaster Tools, but didn't allow as it said "Restricted to root level domains only", any ideas? Thank you! boson

                                  Do search engines still index/crawl private content?

                                  If you have a membership site, which requires a payment to access specific content/images/videos, do search engines still use that content as a ranking/domain authority factor? Is it worth optimizing these "private" pages for SEO?
