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

In most cases, yeah, I’ve seen that pattern too. The “discovered” limbo usually means Google’s poking at it without committing, which is way different from normal crawl budget stuff. The path changing part is the weird one. That’s usually where I start thinking canonical / duplicate / property trust weirdness, not just “they’re slow.” Google loves acting like it found something new when it’s really just re-evaluating the same junk in a different wrapper. Honestly I’d be more suspicious of whatever signals the property is sending than the page itself. Same setup, same links, same result changing anyway = classic Google being inconsistent 🙄
