      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.

                              Indexed pages

                              Just started a site audit and trying to determine the number of pages on a client site and whether there are more pages being indexed than actually exist. I've used four tools and got four very different answers... Google Search Console: 237 indexed pages Google search using site command: 468 results MOZ site crawl: 1013 unique URLs Screaming Frog: 183 page titles, 187 URIs (note this is a free licence, but should cut off at 500) Can anyone shed any light on why they differ so much? And where lies the truth?

                              Crawl rate dropped to zero

                              Hello, I recently moved my site in godaddy from cpanel to managed wordpress. I bought this transfer directly from GoDaddy customer service. in this process they accidentally changed my domain from www to non www. I changed it back after the migration, but as a result of this sites craw rate from search console fell to zero and has not risen at all since then. In addition to this website does not display any other errors, i can ask google manually fetch my pages and it works as before, only the crawl rates seems to be dropped permanently. GoDaddy customer service also claims that do not see any errors but I think, however, that in some way they caused this during the migration when the url changed since the timing match perfectly.  also when they accidentally removed the www, crawl rate of my sites  non www version got up but fell back to zero when I changed it back to www version. Now the crawl rate of both www and non www version is zero. How do I get it to rise again? Customer service also said that the problem may be related to ftp-data of search console?  But they were not able to help any more than .Would someone from here be able to help me with this in anyway please?

                              I have some content on a page that I am not using any type of css hiding techniques, but I am using an image with a higher z-index in order to prevent the text from being seen until a user clicks a link to have the content scroll down. Are there any negative repercussions for doing this in regards to SEO?

                              Hey, I've recently upgraded to a pro SEOmoz account and have realised i have 14574 issues to do with 'blocked by meta-robot' and that 'This page is being kept out of the search engine indexes by the meta tag , which may have a value of "noindex", keeping this page out of the index.' How can i change this so my pages get indexed? I read somewhere that i need to change my privacy settings but that thread was 3 years old and now the WP Dashboard has updated.. Please let me know Many thanks, Jamie P.s Im using WordPress 3.5 And i have the XML sitemap plugin And i have no idea where to look for this robots.txt file..

                              Instant Indexing

                              I've been  working on a site for a while now, methodically building content and building trust and authority. Lately I've noticed that anything I publish there appears to be instantly indexed by Google, which surprises me. I haven't had this happen before so I'm curious. I'd be interested to hear the experience of others.

                              Old URL redirect to New URL

                              Alright I did something dumb a year a go and I'm still paying for it. I changed my hyphenated URL to the non-hyphenated version when I redesigned my website. I say it was dumb because I lost most of my link juice even though I did 301 redirects (via the htaccess file) for almost all of the pages I could find in Google's index. Here's my problem. My new site took a huge hit in traffic (down 60%) when I made the change and even though I've done thousands of redirects my old site is still showing up in the SERPS and send much if not most of my traffic. I don't want to take the old site down in fear it will kill all of my traffic. What should I do? Is there a better method I should explore then 301 redirects? Could the other site be affecting my current rank since it's still there? (FYI...both sites are built on the WP platform). Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you! Joe

                              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
