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?

To remove hacked URLs in bulk from Google's index, clean up your website, secure it, and then use Google Search Console to request removal of the unwanted URLs. Additionally, submit a new sitemap containing only valid URLs to expedite re-indexing.

It seems that after a recent Google update, one language version of your website is experiencing indexing issues, while others remain unaffected. This could be due to factors like changes in algorithms or technical issues. To address this:
- Check h reflag tags and content quality.
- Review technical aspects like crawlability and indexing directives. Deck Services in Duluth GA

@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...

Only my homepage ranks for my keywords, should I delete my other pages?
I am an independent artist and all of my business inquiries come through my website (www.ChrisCarlsonArt.com). Over the last 6 months I have been trying to get pages other than my homepage to rank for my keywords, but I haven't made any progress. I worry that I am cannibalizing my keywords since my pages all have similar information. Should I just delete my other pages and focus on ranking my homepage? Also, if I delete my other pages will that have a negative impact on my rankings?

Migrating Subfolder content to New domain Safely
Hello everyone, I'm currently facing a challenging situation and would greatly appreciate your expertise and guidance. I own a website, maniflexa.com, primarily focused on the digital agency niche. About 3 months ago, I created a subfolder, maniflexa.com/emploi/, dedicated to job listings which is a completely different niche. The subfolder has around 120 posts and pages. Unfortunately, since I created the subfolder, the rankings of my main site have been negatively impacted. I was previously ranking #1 for all local digital services keywords, but now, only 2 out of 16 keywords have maintained their positions. Other pages have dropped to positions 30 and beyond. I'm considering a solution and would like your advice: I'm planning to purchase a new domain and migrate the content from maniflexa.com/emploi/ to newdomain.com. However, I want to ensure a smooth migration without affecting the main domain maniflexa.com rankings and losing backlinks from maniflexa.com/emploi/ pages. Is moving the subfolder content to a new domain a viable solution? And how can I effectively redirect all pages from the subfolder to the new domain while preserving page ranks and backlinks?

I wish they did, but GSC doesn't offer a solution to migration content from subfolder to a new domain. 😢 Help a fellow Mozer. Thanks for giving a hand.0 -

Local Search | Website Issue with Duplicate Content (97 pages)
Hi SEOmoz community. I have a unique situation where I’m evaluating a website that is trying to optimize better for local search and targeting 97 surrounding towns in his geographical location. What is unique about this situation is that he is ranking on the 1st and 2nd pages of the SERPs for his targeted keywords, has duplicate content on 97 pages to his site, and the search engines are still ranking the website. I ran the website’s url through SEOmoz’s Crawl Test Tool and it verified that it has duplicate content on 97 pages and has too many links (97) per page. Summary: Website has 97 duplicate pages representing each town, with each individual page listing and repeating all of the 97 surrounding towns, and each town is a link to a duplicate page. Question: I know eventually the site will not get indexed by the Search Engines and not sure the best way to resolve this problem – any advice?

Duplicate Page Content and Titles
A few weeks ago my error count went up for Duplicate Page Content and Titles. 4 errors in all. A week later the errors were gone... But now they are back. I made changes to the Webconfig over a month ago but nothing since. SEOmoz is telling me the duplicate content is this http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/ and http://www.antiquebanknotes.com Thanks for any advise! This is the relevant web.config. <rewrite><rules><rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule1"><match url="(.*)"><conditions><add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www.antiquebanknotes.com$" negate="true"></add></conditions>

Will rel=canonical cause a page to be indexed?
Say I have 2 pages with duplicate content: One of them is: http://www.originalsite.com/originalpage This page is the one I want to be indexed on google (domain rank already built, etc.) http://www.originalpage.com is more of an ease of use domain, primarily for printed material. If both of these sites are identical, will rel=canonical pointing to "http://www.originalsite.com/originalpage" cause it to be indexed? I do not plan on having any links on my site going to "http://www.originalsite.com/originalpage", they would instead go to "http://www.originalpage.com".
