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…

Download a no index app via Shopify and add in urls so that google does not crawl page. Then go to google search console and disavow any links. Seems to be a common occurrence in recent months on Shopify.

What you said has nothing to do with the problem. These pages need deindexed, not blocked from crawling which editing a robots.txt file would do. Also, this has nothing to do with backlinks, so there is nothing to disavow. Thanks, but not helpful.

Hey @ChummyTees , Did you manage to fix this on your store(s)? - noticed I’m getting 1000s indexed like this since last week.

This is a shopify bug - nothing we can do about it. Shopify needs to fix it themselves.

We’re experiencing the same issue. Do you know if there’s any way to bring this to Shopify support’s attention and/or upvote this for a fix?

Hey @ChummyTees Seeing the same here in terms of huge new levels of indexation. I also contacted Shopify to inform them this is happening to basically all merchants on the Shopify platform. I advised that this could practically destroy some store’s SEO and organic rankings if it’s not fixed quick…

The same here, I contacted them and I insisted on the fact that it is a real urgency to fix ASAP, but it seems they don’t understand and don’t really try to understand the issue.

Same issue here. It started to show up last week in Google Search Console. For our site at least, the pages appear to be blank. If you google “web-pixels-manager” it looks like it’s affecting tons of Shopify stores. Maybe every store?

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