Submitted URL marked 'noindex'
-
Search Console is giving this issue for near 100 pages of my website. I have checked the Yoast plugin settings. We haven't used any meta robots tag for these pages, neither have these pages been disallowed in robots.txt.
Previosuly this issue was for some 20+ pages. I tried to reindex them by submitting the urls again. Now the count has risen to 100+.
There is also this "Submitted URL blocked by robots.txt" issue for pages which are NOT disallowed in robots.txt.
Can anyone please suggest me a solution here?

Then we DO need to see an example to work out why it's firing
-
Those pages are allowed everywhere.
-
No, we haven't used Meta no-index tag in our html code. We don't even have no-index in X-Robots.
-
Forget robots.txt, it has nothing to do with pages being marked no-index. Either somewhere in your code (the HTML) the Meta no-index tag is being used, or it is being fired through your HTTP header via X-Robots. If you share a URL example we can work out which of those it is, which at least will narrow it down a little for you!
-
If you have not set the robots-tag to noindex in Yoast and you don't have hardcoded it somewhere in your head, there is still the wordpress option to disallow search-engines to crawl/index pages. Somewhere under settings is a checkbox.
without more details we can just guess...

Virtual Pageviews vs. Destination URL for Goal tracking
I am working on setting up goal tracking. Currently when we receive a new signup, the person gets sent to their dashboard homepage and this is not a valuable a goal tracking destination. My suggestion was to build a "Welcome" interstitial page to send a user to when they create an account. Our tech team suggested using a Virtual pageview instead as it is their thinking that a "Welcome" page adds little value. Is there any downside to using Virtual Pageviews with regards to goal tracking?

Tracking an onpage 'event'
Hi all Wondering if anyone could help out with this one please. My client is a government backed free internet safety website and in the next few days they will be launching an update on all of their pages which will let people know if their browser is out of date. For example, when you go to their site you will get a message advising you to upgrade your browser for security reasons. They have employed the following code to check the browser The client are keen to know how many times in a period this message is shown to users. Any idea how one would go about tracking this please. Would it involve some custom GA work, would I be able to track the hits on https://wxxxx.org/javascript/update.js in GA? I'm a little stumped. Obviously I can tell how many people loaded the page but not sure how to work out what % of them see the javascript Many thanks for your help Carl

Why do I have few different index URL addresses?
Yes I know, sorry guys but I also have a problem with duplicate pages. It shows that almost every page of my site has a duplicate content issue and looking at my folders in the server, I don't see all these pages... This is a static Website with no shopping cart or anything fancy. The first on the list is my [index] page and this is giving me a hint about some sort of bad settings on my end with the SEOMOZ crawler??? Please advice and thank you! index-variations.jpg
