Hi! I received an alert from google search console saying they excluded a page from indexation, and when I look at the page it’s spam publicity: [MVUILL_0-1663842242468.png] URL : https://www.french-address.com/collections/vendors?q=Buy%20FUT%2023%20coins%2C%20Cheap%20FIFA%2023%20coins%20for%20s…

Hi @MVUILL I can definitely understand your concern! Based on the URL you shared it looks like this might be a collection created within your admin or possible from the new Shopify Collabs service. The “spammy” content of that page you shared is what appears to be the collection page title. If you…

*BTW, I can see Shopify’s point of view this being a theme issue, as had some of these fixes being in place in the theme, arguably we would NOT be in the position we are now. As there would have been no point of the attacking site linking to us in the first place - had the query not printed in the p…

@DaveSweetCures thanks for clearing that up. one would hope that shopify steps up. one of the reasons i am on shopify and not wordspress, is that one would think that there would be people handling these kinds of things. in regards to it being a theme issue. Sure. however i am on a shopify native t…

wow ok, so it’s even an issue with native themes. OK, be worth keeping an eye on updates for native themes - as any fixes may herald a different solution for those with themes created elsewhere.

@DaveSweetCures Shopifys goto is always “third party app” or “theme issue” -__-’ I am on a theme called Supply, which is native shopify theme. i should be eligible for some dev. work, which i am waiting for answer on. but knowing shopify, it probably falls out of the scope of what they offer.

You can disavow all you want, it won’t stop this. Every shop is experienced thousand or millions of new indexed pages daily, as you can see across these boards. It’s an exploit that Shopify is choosing to ignore rather than address. The only solution that I’ve found so far from @Jizo_Inagaki is to …

If you block with robots.txt it will prevent Google from crawling those pages to ‘noindex’, I believe. My understanding is that if they’re already indexed, which most are, and you block with robots.txt, Google won’t be able to crawl again to remove them from index. Adding the code above will allow…

Thanks, we found that this is also working to noindex the vendor pages. What code did you use to stop writing the query into the title tag? I tried this but it ends up breaking the title tags on each page and only prints the url of the page. {%- if request.path == ‘/collections/vendors’ and collect…

I can’t believe a Shopify wide fix has not been implanted yet. This problem is getting much worse and effects our google ranking and sales. Which in turn is effecting Shopify profits ! Or am i wrong this is not effecting sales and profits!

Implement the code found here and then you should see it recover. Once it’s implemented remove those bad links from google search console. https://community.shopify.com/post/1893630

@Barked201 seems straight forward. how does this difference from adding Disallow: /collections/vendors* in robots? (if it does)
