Update index date
-
If I update the content of a page without changing the initial url and google crawls my new page, will the index date (that appears in the SERP) change to the latest update?
In positive case how many change should I do to consider an update?

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I will try to answer. Google is constantly crawling and updating the pages in their index and SERPs. You can make as many or as few changes to your webpage and Google will eventually crawl the page and update the SERPs with your updated page. An easy way to test to see if Google has updated your page is to search Google with the query "site:www.yoursite.com" and you will see all the pages from your website that Google has in its index. If the Google result for a particular page is not showing up with your changes, hang in there, it just means Google has not crawled that page yet but will do so eventually. You can also check the Google cache of a particular page to see the last time Google accessed it and see the content of the page that Google currently has in its index.

Keywords are indexed on the home page
Hello everyone, For one of our websites, we have optimized for many keywords. However, it seems that every keyword is indexed on the home page, and thus not ranked properly. This occurs only on one of our many websites. I am wondering if anyone knows the cause of this issue, and how to solve it. Thank you.

404's being re-indexed
Hi All, We are experiencing issues with pages that have been 404'd being indexed. Originally, these were /wp-content/ index pages, that were included in Google's index. Once I realized this, I added in a directive into our htaccess to 404 all of these pages - as there were hundreds. I tried to let Google crawl and remove these pages naturally but after a few months I used the URL removal tool to remove them manually. However, Google seems to be continually re/indexing these pages, even after they have been manually requested for removal in search console. Do you have suggestions? They all respond to 404's. Thanks

Can spammy links affect indexing?
Meaning, if you have a lot of bad quality links (directories, blog comments) that are giving great rankings for some terms (on a homepage of a site), could the low quality of these links negatively affect the crawling frequency of interior pages or perhaps even give interior pages a ranking penalty?
