Webmaster Index Status - Not Selected > Ever Crawled

[RanjeetP]

Hi Mozzers,

I would like to keep it short, while checking the Index Status in my Google webmaster tools, I noticed that the number of URLs "Not Selected" is more than the no. of URLs under "Ever Crawled" the difference is also a large no, a 5 no. figure. Does anyone seen a similar pattern or any insights on this would be quite helpful.

Cheers,

I have not had that happen to me, but TBH that sounds kind of buggy. Every Crawled should never be less than "Not Selected" You might want to submit a ticket for that to Google. Google has to crawl a page before it can make a decision on it.

Rigth Cesar! and to add to it, that is only increasing..

Anyone, any takes on this ?

Akhil.

You have probably blocked googlebot, with canonical tags or "noindex" or robots.txt or 404

They would have tried to crawl those pages and failed or they were possibly told the page was not to be

indexed for some reason.
