Confusion Over Google Search Console’s HTTPS Is Invalid And Might Prevent It From Being Indexed

Published

Google Says HTTPS Is Not A Requirement To Rank In Google Search

Last week, Google rolled out a new Search Console report for HTTPS, and with that came a lot of confusion around a specific error. The error was “HTTPS is invalid and might prevent it from being indexed.” This shows in the URL inspection tool, which was part of this upgrade.

John Mueller from Google did say this morning on Twitter that they dug through these reports and will be updating the warnings to make them “less scary.” While the errors are correct, he said, the warnings are just an FYI and “not an error” that is causing issues in Google Search, he added.

Here is one of many screenshots of this error:

This does not mean the URL won’t be indexed, it means Google has never seen the URL, or has seen the URL but not crawled it yet. Google may also be indexing the HTTP version of that URL instead for the time being.

There are countless tweets and threads with confusion over this specific error. Here are some threads on Google Webmaster Help, Black Hat World and on Twitter.

John Mueller of Google has been responding to some of these concerns explaining this is not something to worry about. He said on Twitter “HTTPS would not prevent a page from being indexed. It might prevent it from being indexed as HTTPS, but we’d still index it as HTTP. We just don’t index all pages on sites, that’s expected, and independent of HTTPS status.”

Here is where John said they will be changing things to make it clearer:

As Glenn Gabe pointed out, if you look at the help documentation this can mean “Google has never seen the URL, or has seen the URL but not crawled it yet.”

So I wouldn’t worry too much about this error.

If you see the pages are not being indexed, I doubt it is related to this error – I would suspect it is more of a quality issue.

Here is an aerial view of part of the Google Kirkland, Seattle office. You can see that they have a tennis court and the net said Kirkland in it. I am not sure how busy this office is nowadays but it use to be pretty busy.

Microsoft Bing Webmaster Tools API saknar en veckas data

Published

Bing Api Data Flow Tube 640

The Bing Webmaster Tools API might have a week of data loss, a data gap, if you will. There was some sort of issue where the API was not returning data after March 3rd and then after Glenn Gabe reported it to Microsoft’s Fabrice Canel, Microsoft fixed the issue but there is two weeks or so of data loss between March 3rd and March 17th.

Glenn Gabe posted on Twitter about this issue, first on March 17th about the API no longer returning data after March 3rd and then again after Microsoft said it was resolved, showing that yes, new data is coming in but that there is a data gap of two weeks with no data.

So as you can see, there is this two-week period where there is no data being reported by the API.

The Bing Webmaster Tools web interface seems to have the data, so technically, I guess you can export it and do some work to get it where you need it but you should be aware that the API may be missing this data.

Update: This was a week of data, not necessarily two weeks:

Also, there may be an issue with the IndexNow WordPress plugin, but I am not sure and I don’t have a way to test this one:

Relationslänkattribut som inte stöds gör ingenting med Google Sök

Published

Google Robot By Door 640

The other day, John Mueller of Google tweeted something true but sarcastic and it seems some took it the wrong way. He said In case you’re curious, the rel=dofollow works on links. The thing is, it could have been any rel attribute, such as rel=cheese and it would be treated the same as rel=dofollow, Google would ignore the attribute.

The only attributes Google would recognize and do anything with are the supported link attributes, such as rel=nofollow, rel=sponsored, and rel=ugc. But rel=dofollow means nothing to Google, Google will just crawl it like the rel link attribute is not even there. Occasionally I stick funny things in my link attributes just to see if anyone would pick up on it, no one does.

After John tweet this, he had to then come back and clarify, as to not set some SEOs off to add dofollow to their HTML links.

Here are those tweets:
