      Couple weeks ago I changed a url on my site from using underscores to using hyphens

      I setup a 301 redirect and added appropriate canonical to the new page. My site is crawled daily and I've done this on several other pages with good results but this page is just not being indexed right…

      I see my page #8 with some random title Is there some "interim index" that Google has? It's just bazaar to me, any thoughts?

      Thanks! - Cliff

        Well, you would not have to have as you have reverse mortgage calculator on the page url, page title, H1, etc and there are no links to the page. So, you have a PA of 1 and zero links. You are indexed as when you do a Site: the page is there.

        I would suggest minimally having a couple of other pages on the site link to it internally to juice it up a bit.

        Best

          I found out that my robots.txt file was blocking this page. The odd part is that I had setup robot to block a folder mortgage-calc/ and even through my page was not in this folder the spider must have thought they were connected, I don't know why but my page was indexed again.

          • MOZ is showing that I have non- indexed blog tag posts are they supposed to be nonindexed. My articles are indexed just not the blog tags that take you to other similar articles do I need to fix this or is it ok?
