I just got an email from google informing me that in the next few weeks the google shopify channel app will start automatically using google pixel tags for tracking my website!
I really hope this is part of the solution?
@shadi1 I don’t think that’s related unfortunately.
@gregbernhardt Can we get our update for the day? And are we still pretending the google update had something to do with this when I watched 9,000 URLs get crawled the same day we lost 60% of our impressions, weeks before the google update?
/.well-known/shopify/monorail/unstable/produce_batch
The WPM Script is producing this and dropping it into all of my pages.
We are getting MORE “Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt” errors now.
These errors caused us a 60% drop in traffic. I would say “My clients” but we’re down to “my client”.
Edit: This has been there since January per wayback machine. Google can now see it, even though it’s generated in the tag.
This is affecting all of my client’s sites as well. No word from Shopify yet.
How is this still an issue after all of this time??
It’s been over 4 months.
Do you have the full url? (don’t need to include your website), as I’ve found it best to block them before my site gets crawled.
Anyone considering migrating to Woocommerce? I have over five hundred 404 links and a lot more weird ones under “crawled” & “indexed”, they are gonna destroy my SEO. I am thinking about switching to WP n see if anyone got same thought?
I’m currently managing several Shopify stores and have been experiencing a noticeable decline in organic traffic. At the start of this year, I set up another store, but its performance has been far from satisfactory. Despite investing significantly in SEO, it seems that Shopify isn’t addressing the issue, or perhaps isn’t inclined to. The situation has become quite critical as I’m encountering daily financial losses. It’s been several months since this problem surfaced, so I’m seriously considering a switch to another platform unless a solution emerges imminently, Only 4 pages are indexed. I am very very disappointed!!!
I have also a lot of page with 404 not found, should I redirect them or should I leave them as they are?
Thank you!
Another crawl and unfortunately, we saw a massive increase in no-index pages.
We now have 1,100 not indexed pages for our small site which only has 37 indexed pages! Google impressions and traffic continue a downward trajectory.
We are seeing a big increase in the “collections/all” spam.
Upon reviewing the URLs in GSC we now also see SPAM pages being injected on [email removed] pathway which looks like it means spammers are finding another way in. Sample URLs attached.
Are there any updates on these issues?
Has Shopify communicated with Google to let them know of these problems?
Thanks
It’s another new week soon! Hopefully we have some good news to save our Store 
I’d encourage everyone to keep posting spam index links, this gives everyone a chance to block these link hopefully before they get crawled.
Hey @gregbernhardt
We were told we would get an update at the very start of last week which never came and then were advised imminent on Wednesday 10th, I would personally class imminent as within a day or two (down to my personal perception).
Can you please provide an actual date so we can plan around this?
We also recognized increasing numbers of indexed wpm pages. I guess adding a robots.txt block has been tried by the Shopify Team, but i can’t find that block in robots.txt anymore. So it has probably been removed again. If I am wrong, please correct me. If it has been deleted, no more pages shall be indexed since the change. Anyway, you should take into account that the GSC is showing delayed data of usually a few days.
We’re supposed to get an update today, everyone hang tight.
I was told during the weeked by Shopify support that I have to reach out to Google, because those “web-pixel” and “wpm” URLs are created by Google and not by Shopify.
I think I’m getting old and stupid. I thought I knew a bit about SEO, but this tells me I know nothing. So sad 
Fortunately, for security purposes, Google is not able to make whatever pages they want on people’s Shopify stores; shopify support should be aware of this issue by now you would have hoped 
Shopify created those URLs, NOT google. Their web pixel manager was a massive failure, they injected code that linked to those pages. It is solely Shopify’s error, compounded multiple times with failed fixes.
No update yet, this is starting to feel like waiting for godot …
