Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey guys,

My first post here and ironically highlights a ridiculously stupid mistake!

Ok, here's the deal...

I started building links to one of my new page on a fairly good, old site (DA = >35).

Before starting to build links, I added fresh new content, and while doing that, I accidentally added a "nofollow" and "noindex" tag to the page! Guess what, google DID de-index the page !

So the questions is (and YES, I did change the meta tags):

1. Will google re-index the page with some good linking?

2. Will it treat the page as a new, fresh page even though it was present for over a year?

3. I had already started link building to that page, and now technically the links are pointing to a page that does not exist in the index, so once it does get re-indexed, will Google FLAG it as having too many links?

4. Would I be ranking it as a new page? Will its previous ranking (for very few keywords) will come back?

Thanks and Regards,

Amod
