Shopify has a new bug - they are indexing tons of useless pages in Google again. Is there any way to stop this from happening? The code seems to only be editable by shopify since it’s in the content_for_header. Do a google search for: inurl:/web-pixels-manager@ ( https://www.google.com/search?q=in…

Hello everyone. Thank you for your patience while we worked towards providing a fix to this issue and building out an FAQ that addresses the primary concerns and questions from this thread. You can find our FAQ on the Community Blog. We welcome you to continue the conversation in the blog section …

@Greg-Bernhardt Hi Greg Response please to my other questions: I think part of the problem is that shopify has created many url options of this sandbox pixel and now I have them scattered around in Google Page Indexing - I have versions in: Blocked by Robots.txt Crawled - currently not indexed …

@Denis_B Blocked by Robots.txt: These will reduce over time as we removed the block Crawled - currently not indexed: this report is not an issue in this instance Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag: this report is not an issue in this instance Not found (404): this report is not an issue in this instance

We all have lots of [email removed] urls in GSC indexed page. @gregbernhardt Now what is the solution for these pages?

I have the same problem. A lot of blank pages reported by google console related to web pixel sandbox manager. Google is anyway not indexing the pages because “excluded by no index tag”

@MaBa that is not a problem and the expected result @jackzhu what is the latest date?

@PixelsPhotoArt what report is that screenshot from?

Right now these pages are no different than any other non-existent page on your site, google only thinks they existed because of internal links from product pages - those links have been fixed. Now that the internal links have been removed google will no longer see those pages as pages you claim to …

@gregbernhardt Once Google updated in GSC, the indexed pages will update. The no index tag on these [email removed] pages no effect for Google. Why Shopify could not stop the code to produce such pages??? [1.png] [2.png]

@jackzhu please DM me one of those links marked as Mar 28

How can I prevent the new indexing bug from creating useless pages on Google?
