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. -

Home Page .index.htm and .com Duplicate Page Content/Title
I have been whittling away at the duplicate content on my clients' sites, thanks to SEOmoz's pro report, and have been getting push back from the account manager at register.com (the site was built here and the owner doesn't want to move it). He says these are the exact same page and he can't access one to redirect to the other. Any suggestions? The SEOmoz report says there is duplicate content on both these urls: Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/index.htm Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/ Your help is greatly appreciated!
