Hi {NAME} I hope you're well, I have a surprise you may enjoy You may recall that we've built [URLinspector]( it uses the URL Inspection API launched by Google and allows you to to check URL Indexation and more - automatically,
- ongoing,
- every day. So perform URL Inspection for all/many of your URLs for Indexation, Canonicals, Redirects, Duplicate Content issue and many more technical issues. The kicker is - this is genuine data from Google Search Console. It cannot get more precise than getting Google's opinion on your website, at scale. Here's an example for you {NAME} URLinspector reveals some critical issues in the above screenshot 1/ way more than half of URLs not indexed by Google
2/ duplicates lead to other URLs getting indexed only
3/ Google picks other URLs as Canonicals than defined by CMS/User
4/ For 25+% of URLs Google has other opinions than the SEO
5/ Some URLs in Sitemaps are even missing
6/ 625 URLs were not crawled for 1-3 years (!) All these issues are a call to action to fix the website, ASAP. I believe, especially after such a large update like the recent Core update it's vital to understand what's going on with your website's indexation - URLinspector is of help here, for sure. I've not done comprehensive comparisons across the ca. 800 sites we have in the system right now...
but it appears that de-indexation got quite a huge problem over the past months...
and some of the data looks really worthwhile digging much deeper. Setup is easy for you - for any Site or even Root Domain - [just login with your Google Search Console account here](
- we use the Sitemap in your Google Search Console
- we use and combine multiple GSC Properties to go beyond the 2000 URL limit/day
- you can add custom Sitemap URLs
- you can add custom URLs for Inspection, too Attention: Please allow user agent "URLinspectorBot" in your web firewall (Cloudflare, Incapsula)
so we can crawl your sitemaps and URLs. Otherwise, the results may be (very) incomplete. URLinspector runs on large sites - URLinspector is already processing sites with 100.000s of URLs
- It works well for smaller sites, but optimizing for very large sites is an important focus, as it's close to impossible to get URLinspection data for such sites manually or with desktop tools (without going nuts).
- Error handling, exponential back-offs and retries - you name it, all built in. We constantly find new issues with the Google APIs, try to get feedback of odd patterns from Google and in general find it very exciting to get such original data points for SEOs now. No cost, yet, but it's beta - The closed beta was successful, and we're opening up more now. Join us!
- URLinspector runs on a pretty large cluster and can take ten-thousands more sites.
- You can use it at no cost for now, as we're still in beta and heavily adding functionality.
- You can add as many sites as you wish. Your feedback We want to make the product better and build really useful functionality for you. Please let us know your ideas and questions. [Access URLinspector here]( Follow Links on Twitter In case you missed it - Twitter now renders Follow links, where it had NoFollow links for a decade or so. I've looked into this [with Chris Silver who discovered it](. As mentioned also to him: - Google has a special fire hose deal with Twitter for years, renders Tweets in Search results for a while
- Most likely links from Twitter don't count any more or less than they ever did (not much)
- With Millions of Tweets per hour it's just not useful to "add" to a link graph - but they may use very popular tweets still.Â
- Don't obsess or expect any new "silver bullet" link building trick - but if you see some claims about it, I'd like to hear about it, too :-) What do you think? Are you curious how well your own website is indexed? [Here you go.]( Please let me know if you have questions and I'd be happy to help. Christoph C. Cemper
