Reply To: Google’s playing games with my parasite pages again

Yeah, same here. The weird part is when it *looks* like it’s moving and then just stalls for days like nothing happened. I don’t really buy the “just improve content” answer either, not for this stuff. I’ve had pages with basically the same setup behave totally differently depending on the host/property, which is annoying as hell. If the URL path is changing after index/drop/reindex, that’s not just random crawl budget in my experience. At least from what I’ve seen.
