noindex pixel urls should stop, 404 pixels urls temporarily increase and then stop
So will they disappear from my 404 report over time? if so what time period?
Normally the only way to get rid of 404’s is to re-direct them?
If the content exists elsewhere then a redirect makes sense otherwise you’re sending confusing signals to Google. A Google rep told us that the 404s will clear over time. No exact timeframe was given.
THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AT ALL!!
I have 100s of new 404s that look like this [email removed]
as of today.
I have been following this thread and the previous thread that was marked as “solved”. It has not been solved in the absolute slightest. I have redirects to try and get these errors to drop off. Stop coming backing with your absolute baffle of a solution when clearly there is nothing in place!!!1

I haven’t seen any improvement on my end either, but it appears that everyone has been silent since last month. I predict that they have already resolved their issue.
Hey @jasonwill21
Mines is not resolved, I’m not being silent on purpose, I’ve just given up on trying after asking them to fix this for the past 6 months.
@gregbernhardt Some new pages are visible in the search console
what can we all do now? i got the same problem, can we create a social media group to discuss this? I think more people out there need to know, or nothing will change!
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".
This would then re move all this “stuff” that Shopify appears to have fixed (THANK YOU!) and would then remove all this junk from all our Google Search Console (which would then enable all of us to put this incident behind us).
Having to wait another 6 (maybe longer!) months for the junk to disappear isn’t very customer centric. Google should be able to do this for Shopify (as a once off “special”) - given you are a large customer.
Please just don’t say “we can wait” … no we really can’t! Please escalate this issue up Shopify’s management chain.
Thanks, and we look forward to your reply.
Regards.
Thanks all for your help!
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 Shopify to use its relationship with Google to run a special “clear the buffer” exercise.
This is the only way we, the users, can then tell if this issue has really been solved.
Thank you
Hi all,
this is most likely interesting for you too:

Hi Greg, appreciate that you’re sticking this out with us. It is correct that 404’s clear over time. Since we may from time to time change or modify a page here and there. Google doesn’t punish for normal activity. But 100’s and 1000’s is another matter altogether, particularly when some of these pages are spammy ads.
I would be very interested in this.
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

Thanks in advance for your reply.
This problem of 404s wont go away until Shopify stops the pages from being 404s. They’re still all 404s. I watched 2 sites go out of business and one lose 70% of its sales and be forced to downsize over these bugs. Expect no changes, it’s clear we’re on our own.
