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…

Dear Greg if you just say 10 time: “There is no negative SEO applied” it not will became true. Something is going on with shopify for a while. Please deep investigate problems and solve it.
