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…

Hi Greg, Can Shopify use its “special relationship” with Google (i.e. I understand they are your Cloud Service Provider) to ask Google to do a once off “clear all Shopify websites” of 1. Excluded by ‘nonindex’ tag and 2. No found (404". [Screenshot 2023-06-18 092248.png] This would then re move …

Greg, No, this “sometime in the future isn’t acceptable”. We need Shopify to please get Google to 1. tell you exactly how long it will be before all this prior “junk” will be cleared (which Shopify believes they have fixed) and 2. if that timeframe is any more than another 2 weeks - then we need Sh…

Greg (or Trevor) - please reply to my post of 06-27-2023 10:53 AM, this issue isn’t going away until you arrange for Google to clear our Search Consoles! Thanks

Trevor - please reply to my post of 06-27-2023 10:53 AM … this issue is not going away until you arrange for Google to clear our Google Search Consoles of all the junk. Thanks in advance for your reply.

On top of that the vendors?q= is back for me? [Screenshot 2023-07-03 140553.jpg] When will this damn nightmare end!
