Page Indexing without content
-
Hello.
I have a problem of page indexing without content. I have website in 3 different languages and 2 of the pages are indexing just fine, but one language page (the most important one) is indexing without content. When searching using site: page comes up, but when searching unique keywords for which I should rank 100% nothing comes up.
This page was indexing just fine and the problem arose couple of days ago after google update finished. Looking further, the problem is language related and every page in the given language that is newly indexed has this problem, while pages that were last crawled around one week ago are just fine.
Has anyone ran into this type of problem?

@AtuliSulava Re: Website blog is hacked. Whats the best practice to remove bad urls
something similar problem also happened to me. many urls are indexed but they have no content in actual. My website(scaleme) was hacked and thousands of URLs with Japanese content were added to my site. These URLs are now indexed by Google. How can I remove them in bulk? (ScreenShoot attached)
I am the owner of this website. thousands of Japanese-language URLs (more than 4400) were added to my site. i am aware with google url remover tool but adding one by one url and submitting for removing is not possible because there are large number of url indexed by google.
Is there a way to find these url , downlaod a list and remove these URLs in bulk? is Moz have any tool to solve this problem?

@AtuliSulava It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with your website's indexing. I have faced this issue. Unfortunately, I have prevented my website from indexing in google by mistake. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:
Check Robots.txt: Ensure that your site's robots.txt file is not blocking search engine bots from accessing the content on the affected pages.
Review Meta Tags: Check the <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag on the affected pages. If present, remove it to allow indexing.
Content Accessibility: Make sure that the content on the affected pages is accessible to search engine bots. Check for any JavaScript, CSS, or other elements that might be blocking access to the content.
Canonical Tags: Verify that the canonical tags on the affected pages are correctly pointing to the preferred version of the page.
Structured Data Markup: Ensure that your pages have correct structured data markup to help search engines understand the content better.
Fetch as Google: Use Google Search Console's "Fetch as Google" tool to see how Googlebot sees your page and if there are any issues with rendering or accessing the content.
Monitor Google Search Console: Keep an eye on Google Search Console for any messages or issues related to indexing and crawlability of your site.
Wait for Re-crawl: Sometimes, Google's indexing issues resolve themselves over time as the search engine re-crawls and re-indexes your site. If the problem persists, consider requesting a re-crawl through Google Search Console.
If the issue continues, it might be beneficial to seek help from a professional SEO consultant who can perform a detailed analysis of your website and provide specific recommendations tailored to your situation. -
@AtuliSulava Perhaps indexing of blank pages is prohibited on this site, look for more information on how to check the ban on indexing in which site files...

Duplicate Page Content Issue
Hello, I recently solved www / no www duplicate issue for my website, but now I am in trouble with duplicate content again. This time something that I cannot understand happens: In Crawl Issues Report, I received Duplicate Page Content for http://yourappliancerepairla.com (DA 19) http://yourappliancerepairla.com/index.html (DA 1) Could you please help me figure out what is happenning here? By default, index.html is being loaded, but this is the only index.html I have in the folder. And it looks like the crawler sees two different pages with different DA... What should I do to handle this issue?

Duplicate content due to numerous sub category level pages
We have a healthcare website which lists doctors based on their medical speciality. We have a paginated series to list hundreds of doctors. Algorithm: A search for Dentist in Newark locality of New York gives a result filled with dentists from Newark followed by list of dentists in locations near by Newark. So all localities under a city have the same set of doctors distributed jumbled an distributed across multiple pages based on nearness to locality. When we don't have any dentists in Newark we populate results for near by localities and create a page. The issue - So when the number of dentists in New York is <11 all Localities X Dentists will have jumbled up results all pointing to the same 10 doctors. The issue is even severe when we see that we have only 1-3 dentists in the city. Every locality page will be exactly the same as a city level page. We have about 2.5 Million pages with the above scenario. **City level page - **https://www.example.com/new-york/dentist - 5 dentists **Locality Level Page - **https://www.example.com/new-york/dentist/clifton, https://www.example.com/new-york/dentist/newark - Page contains the same 5 dentists as in New York city level page in jumbled up or same order. What do you think we must do in such a case? We had discussions on putting a noindex on locality level pages or to apply canonical pointing from locality level to city level. But we are still not 100% sure.

We had some content on our own website indexed by Google and the content was changed later. But that content is still showing up in Google results. Of course because it was indexed. Its very important for us that content should not show up in Google. So how to remove that content quickly from Google Index? I know normally when it crawl again it will show new content. Google url removal tool or Google url fetch ? or anything else?

How to block "print" pages from indexing
I have a fairly large FAQ section and every article has a "print" button. Unfortunately, this is creating a page for every article which is muddying up the index - especially on my own site using Google Custom Search. Can you recommend a way to block this from happening? Example Article: http://www.knottyboy.com/lore/idx.php/11/183/Maintenance-of-Mature-Locks-6-months-/article/How-do-I-get-sand-out-of-my-dreads.html Example "Print" page: http://www.knottyboy.com/lore/article.php?id=052&action=print

Does duplicate content on word press work against the site rank? (not page rank)
I noticed in the crawl that there seems to be some duplicate content with my word press blog. I installed a seo plugin, Yoast's wordpress seo plugin, and set it to keep from crawling the archives. This might solve the problem but my main question is can the blog drag my site down?
