Google not indexing due to noindex

  • Over the last year my traffic has dropped from 45K per day to less that 1000 per day. I didn’t noticed until recently because I’ve been very sick.

    This has something to do with nofollow. For example, this is one of the emails I got from Google webmaster.

    New reason preventing your pages from being indexed

Search Console has identified that some pages on your site are not being indexed due to the following new reason:

Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag

If this reason is not intentional, we recommend that you fix it in order to get affected pages indexed and appearing on Google.

    I have been looking for a nofollow tag that would explain this but I can’t find one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I use AIOSEO but I looked through there and couldn’t find one either.

    You’re on the right track, but you need to click through that email to see which pages it’s reporting as excluded by noindex.

    There are several pages in WordPress that are supposed to be noindex , pages you don’t want showing up in Google more than the rest of your site, but Google will complain about those just as much as it will complain about anything else.

    In short, whenever you get a warning from Google like that, click through for the specifics, and you might find out that it’s not a problem after all.

    As for AIOSEO, I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack/ so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
