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. -

What Tools Do I USe To Find Why My Site No Longer Ranks
Hi, I made the mistake of hiring a freelancer to work on my website [in2town.co.uk](link url) but after having a good website things went from bad to worse. The freelancer was kicked off the platform due to lots of compliants from people and creating backdoors to websites and posting on them. It cost me money to have the back door to our site closed. I then found lots of websites were stealing my content through the rss feed. Two of those sites have now been shut down by their hosting company. With all these problems I found in Feb that the hundreds of keywords that I ranked for had vanished. And all the ones that were in the top ten for many years have also vanished. When I create an article which includes https://www.in2town.co.uk/skegness-news/lincolnshire-premier-inn-staff-fear-for-their-jobs/ they cannot be found in Google. Normally before all these problems, my articles were found straight away. If I put in the title name Lincolnshire Premier Inn Staff Fear For Their Jobs and then add In2town in front of it, then instead of the page coming up with the article, it instead shows the home page. Can anyone please advise what tools i should be using to find out the problems and solve them, and can anyone offer advice please on what to do to solve this.

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?

GA4 showing 2 versions of my homepage
When my website Custom Made Casino switched from universal analytics to GA, i have noticed that now in the behavior section it is showing 2 versions of my homepage which I feel may be impacting seo. It is showing the main url which we use for everything, https://custommadecasino.com/ , and it is showing https://custommadecasino.com/index.php?route-common/home. This was never the case with universal. Does anyone know if this is a problem and if so, how do i fix it so that our proper homepage is what is indexed?

Footer backlink for/to Web Design Agency
I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

Unsolved Mistake on keyword stuffing detection(in my view)
Hello!
Moz Bar | | Seoman45
In Mozbar, optimization factors
"Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document"
If a blog (or any other page) publishes an article, and that article attracts a considerable number of questions, it is inevitable to prevent repeating the keyword on that page. In other words, using keywords by users in comments should not be considered as "Keyword Stuffing". In my view, if this is true, you need to optimize the detection of "Keyword Stuffing".
By the way, thanks for the valuable service and tools for SEO.
Best regards,

What are the potential SEO downsides of using a service like unbounce for content pages?
I'm thinking of using unbounce.com to create some content driven pages. Unbounce is simple, easy-to-use, and very easy for non-devs at my company to create variations on pages. I know they allow adding meta descriptions, title tags, etc and allow it to be indexable by Google, but I was wondering if there were any potential downsides to using unbounce as opposed to hosting it myself. Any help would be appreciated!
