Gary Illyes from Google stated on LinkedIn that Google Search Console would not “hold (virtually) any knowledge for un/de-indexed.” He added, “There’s additionally a component of “what if the URL comes again”, however that is much less related.”
This got here up when Adam Gent “seen that Google can drop the canonical knowledge (each user-selected and Google-selected) for pages that had been listed and moved to “crawled – at the moment not listed”,” he wrote. He requested, “Is that this a reporting error or does your index finally simply drop knowledge factors just like the canonical metrics?”
Gary confirmed that is the case. Gary wrote, “We do not hold (virtually) any knowledge for un/de-indexed, this Search Console has nothing to point out.”
Adam Gent replied, “I’ve seen pages de-indexed with canonical knowledge however my assumption is that at such a scale, it simply takes time for the information to be slowly faraway from the index for every web page. Which is why some have knowledge and others do not.”
Gary responded to that saying, “I do not wanna go into the main points cos it should confuse everybody and my grandmother until I give much more context that will probably be equally complicated with out another context, however yeah, that is principally it. There’s additionally a component of “what if the URL comes again”, however that is much less related.”
