Homepage Deindexed?
-
Hi guys,
One site we have been working on which is: https://tinyurl.com/j5m8vld
Homepage seems to be deindexed by Google Australia.
From initial perspective it seems it could be high velocity of links too soon, but not 100% sure as there are no messages in GWT.
It could be duplicate content issues as we found duplication of the homepage e.g.
https://tinyurl.com/zzds5mf which is the exact same as the homepage.
However, don't think this would cause the homepage to be indexed which had strong rankings before it was deindexed (ranking for 100 keywords).
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Cheers.

A google search for info:yourURL shows you're indexed and https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LjWmVIf5O_gJ:https://www.mycustomcar.com.au/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au shows the site was cached a few hours ago. All appears well.

are you sure you are deindex? have you tested with a proxy? i just checked google.com.au googled "mycustomcar" and you are indexed fine (granted I don't have an aussie proxy to test from)

Homepage organization schema question: logo lives on amazon server, can I call that out on the structured data?
Basically, the homepage organization schema has called out the logo, but it lives on the amazon server. We're having issues with Google rendering the correct logo on the knowledge graph. The URL for the amazon asset looks something like this: <brandname>-assets.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/<logo>.png</logo></brandname> Calling that out on the organization structured data for the logo is okay right?

If I deindex a page then will Google stop counting those links pointing to it?
Hey everyone, I am deindexing some posts of my website as I think they are not providing any value to the users. My question is that if I deindex a post and it has some good quality links pointing to it, will google stop those links counting for my website?

DeIndexing pagination
I have a custom made blog with boat loads of undesirable URLs in Google's index like this:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Rich_Coffman
.com/resources?start=150
.com/resources?start=160
.com/resources?start=170 I've identified this is a source of duplicate title tags and had my programmer put a no index tag to automatically go on all of these undesirable URLs like this: However doing a site: search in google shows the URLs to still be indexed even though I've put the tag up a few weeks ago. How do I get google to remove these URLs from the index? I'm aware that the Search Console has an answer here https://support.google.com/webmasters/topic/4598466?authuser=1&authuser=1&rd=1 but it says that blocking with meta tags should work. Do I just get google to crawl the URL again so it sees the tag and then deindexes the URLs? Or is there another way I'm missing.0 -
Odd pattern after site got deindexed and reindexed again
I had a very interesting experience with one of my sites happening for the last 4 months. The site is for a professional service in a highly competitive market (NYC). There was an algo penalty several years ago that was recovered through new content and lots of quality links (mostly, media). We were #3-15 for the main money keywords before we changed the site into Genesis. We tested the site on a shadow server where we put the no-index attribute in robots.txt. However, when the site was migrated back to a live hosting, we accidentally forgot to remove it, so the site got de-indexed by mistake. The error was detected nd corrected about 5 days later, however the site did not appear in search for the next few weeks. After that, the site jumped bounced back. BUT, it had #1-5 positions instead on all money keywords. This lasted for 5-7 days, when the site bounced back to #3-15 positions again. We've been putting a lot of investment and effort since that but the site never got back to #1-5. Any idea on why this can happen? We have better links than competitors. The professional is a nationally recognized media person. There might be some older toxic links that give a little bit of penalty? Thanks in advance!

Homepage shuffling in the SERP results continously - any thoughts?
We've had some shuffling for a keyword in the SERP results over last few days! Anyone else seeing their rankings bounce all over? It's only affecting one keyword that was previously a stable performer - this has occurred for the last few weeks (with no major changes to the page). Would be keen to hear your thoughts!

How to find the number of DoFollow links on the homepage
Dear SEOmozzers, I just have a quick question. Can you please tell me how I can find out how many DoFollow links I have on the page of a site? I did a link exchange with a person who claims that she found 50+ DoFollow links on my homepage. How did she do that? What tool did she use to find out the number of DoFollow links on my homepage? Thank you. Sal

How to handle "2" homepages?
Came across an interesting problem. A site has the traditional homepage of site.com and ranks okay. Later I found that another "homepage", site.com/home.html that ranks well for several terms but actually has old branding and semi-up-to-date content. Site.com/home.html has a solid linking profile but not as strong as the current homepage (site.com). The question I have is should I try to salvage the page or 301 redirect to site.com? Thank for the help!
