How Google Search indexes pages



In the previous episode of How Search Works, Gary discussed how a web page is crawled and rendered. In this episode, Gary covers how processing and analyzing a page’s textual content, key content tags, attributes, images, and video allows Google to determine some signals that help decide whether or not a page should be indexed.

  1. Is the canonical tag definition used only to prevent duplicates within the contents of a single website, or is it applied by comparing the contents of all websites on the internet? Because when using APIs, it's very difficult to prevent different websites from using the same content. Therefore, it might be necessary to avoid using this tag.

  2. Nice to see an explainer video for indexing process. We have problem with Indexing the page, using single service page I have created 50 page representing the each state of the country. Each page has the content with slight changes. 7 pages got indexed in google, but remaining pages not get indexed. I don't how the 7 pages got indexed and why other state pages are not indexed in google. What shall I do for it??

  3. I have a lot of pdf files with my website signature on them. Someone stole them and put them on his website with my signature. Google considers stolen files as canonical. 😕 Google encourages content theft in this way.

  4. Your search engine is really messed up! You only rank sites with bad content and quality! The September HCU classifier has not been removed yet! No case of ranking recovery for sites that were affected by the useful content update in September! I really don't know what to say!

  5. Definitely one of the best set of videos Google has produced! Gary should get the Google Academy Award for Best Actor for this one! Will watch the rest of the series right now….

  6. Great videos but they are coming too far and few between, would be good if you just release the entire series. It almost feels like the knowledge is being hoarded and drip-fed
