Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the response. Yes, that is what i did to force a recrawl. It was about 24 to 48 hours after that, I had the cache issue. Seemed like a possible correlation of G actively or very recently crawling and the G 404 page returning during that time.

Was wondering if anyone else had noticed that as well or if it was just a coincidence.

Thx again for your response and cheers!

Hi Sarah,

If you mean putting a rel canonical tag on a page that you are going to (or are) 301 redirecting to another page...then it doesn't matter at that point as the 301 redirect happens at the server level and will redirect the bot to the new page before the old page (and rel canonical tag is read).

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

I'm doing the "cache:" operator on one of my sites and Google is returning a 404 error. I've swapped out the domain with another and it works fine. Has anyone seen this before?

I'm wondering if G is crawling the site now?

Thx!

Thanks for the quick response. Was hoping that it was like authority labs where the same kw only gets counted once.

I have the same kw sets across 3 campaigns but are being counted against the 300 total count. Shouldn't they only count once? Thx!
