What Does 'Discovered - Currently Not Indexed' Mean About Your Pages? [Episode #102]
Update: 2024-01-05
Description
Google's "Discovered- currently not indexed" - is it a simple indexation status or is it much more? RickeyRoo's Melissa Popp joins the podcast to explain what the status of your indexation says about your site's quality.
* Why looking for pages marked "Discovered - currently not indexed" should be one of the first things you check when working on a site
* Why Discovered- currently not indexed can be an indication of site quality
* Why too many pages marked as Discovered- currently not indexed can make it harder for future content to be indexed
It's one thing if Google can't find your content (which obviously is a problem in and of itself). It's another thing for Google to tell you that they know the content exists, they just don't care. This is what Google is essentially telling you (all things being equal and at face value) when they say your pages are "Discovered - currently not indexed."
Listen as Melissa Popp and Mordy Oberstein discuss what "Discovered- currently not indexed" says about your site's overall content quality.
