Google’s Gary Illyes said LinkedIn<\/a> that Google Search Console “keeps (almost) no data for de-indexing\/de-indexing”. He added: “There’s also an element of ‘what if the URL returns’, but that’s less relevant.”<\/p>\n This came about when Adam Gent “noticed that Google may remove canonical data (both user-selected and Google-selected) for pages that were indexed and moved to ‘crawled, currently not indexed,'” he wrote .He asked, “Is it a reporting error or does your index end up dropping data points like the canonical metrics?”<\/p>\n Gary confirmed that this is the case. Gary wrote: “We keep (almost) no data for de-indexing\/de-indexing, this Search Console has nothing to show.”<\/p>\n Adam Gent replied: “I’ve seen deindexed pages with canonical data, but my guess is that at this scale, the data just needs to be slowly removed from the index for each page. That’s why some have data. and others don’t.”<\/p>\n Gary responded to this saying: “I don’t want to go into the details because it will confuse everyone and my grandma unless I give even more context which will be just as confusing without any other context, but yeah, that’s basically it. There’s also a context . element of “What if the URL returns”, but that’s less relevant.”<\/p>\n Discussion forum a LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n
