sweethoney Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 i see some issues with i ipb that might need fixing it has to do with canonical url this is what stops insert page being index on google or bing yahoo ive been test then this out for one week and i have moved the canonical from your and now it seems to be indexing
MADMAN32395 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 maybe stop dicking around with the SEO and various other things trying to "fix" things. I left all that alone on my place and indexing works fine for google/bing/yahoo/etc. Try starting with a blank slate, undo the "modifications" you performed, and see if reindexing resumes normally.
sweethoney Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 i tryed everything cant seem to get rid of the canonical url on my test site i use mozalla and google i use the seo add on to edit all my coding and in my search bar its ses page not index able this page has a canonical url
Jim M Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Basically all a canonical link does is state that the URL in href is the preferred version of the page to be indexed/referenced/used. This is because we use query strings and different parameters in the URL to perform actions and other items on page so these URLs with these items are not seen as duplicate content. I would highly suggest leaving these in or learning more about what/why it is in use prior to modifying your system to remove them. Remember that SEO tools are guidelines and not necessarily something you should 100% follow without reason. If this is not functioning correctly, please submit a ticket and we can look at it. Please also remember that every page will not be indexed and being indexed by a search engine takes time and is not an overnight process.
sweethoney Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 no i dont need to open a ticket i was just saying because when you goto https://invisionpower.com/ it use a canonical url but when u go to invisionpower.com/forums u dont us it.. may be i set something wrong when i was installing it
