Need some deindexing help

specialseo · Sep 5, 2020

So the thing is that the designer used a template to build my website.

Now the website did went live and all but he kept the other unused template pages there for future use.

Somehow Google crawled it and it is indexed. Shows when I do site:sitename.com

I have deleted all those pages and it is throwing a 404 error too.

I waited from March till now for it to get dropped automatically but it still shows.

I even went to webmaster tools and did the thing for it's removal. It says temporarily removed - expired.

Sh!t is back in the index LOL and that page does not even exists from March onwards.

Moreover it shows backlinks to my page in webmaster tools which aren't even mine or going to my page but they are going to the template page that was originally used.

Any ideas/advice is appreciated.

Thanks

You can de-index by using the permanent removal feature from Google Search Console.

dam google should have removed it, one way is do a 301 to your homepage

I have no reason to worry about it, because it will move away from Google over time
You don't need to do anything for this, these pages will naturally fall
For Google, this is usually normal until the 404 page is crawled multiple times

It can be removed via gsc

Those pages are gone. Totally deleted so does not exists now. That is why I cannot put any noindex tags on there.

Redirect them for the time being to your homepage - this will tell Google those pages have moved and eventually Google will know which one to use.

301 redirect them, that´s all.

nobody will probably be searching for it, why worry, it will drop out eventually. Thanks for documenting google bug though.

Remove from GSC if you want quick removal. Otherwise, ignore it and naturally will happen

yes, put back the url again with a simple post then put noindex, that way will be faster
