Old URLs that have 301s to 404s not being de-indexed.
I don't think 404 vs 410 is the answer here.The basis for this thought is the following: https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/how-to/2340728/matt-cutts-on-how-google-handles-404-410-status-codes ======== "if we see a page and we get a 404, we are gonna protect that page for 24 hours in the crawling system, so we sort of wait and we say maybe that was a transient 404, maybe it really wasn’t intended to be a page not found.” “If we see a 410, then the site crawling system says, OK we assume the webmasters knows what they’re doing because they went off the beaten path to deliberately say this page is gone,” he said. “So they immediately convert that 410 to an error, rather than protecting it for 24 hours." ======== I'm thinking the deeper issue is why the 301s are not being respected. If a link points to http://domain.com/badpage and we use a 301 to point to https://domain.com/badpage - shouldn't the crawler (Google or otherwise) respect the 301? Why still index and serve up a page that responds with the 301? To me, this is baffling. If we serve up a 404 or a 410 - either way we are saying "this page is gone" but we're still seeing the original http://domain.com/badpage in the index? Does that make sense? Or is there more clarification required?

Custom Report PDFs Failing this month
Update for anyone else experiencing this issue: If the module on the first page is too large, it gets pushed onto the second page of the report and leaves the first page blank. It sounds like the workaround they're offering up would be to use smaller modules on the first page and include large modules like the Dashboard and keyword rankings for later pages. This solves the blank page issue, but we still can't get our logo to show up.

Is there are way to set reports to run at month/quarter end so I can see each month as a whole or do I have to wait until the end of the month to set it up to achieve this?
Has this feature been added yet? We've had our account for 2 years. Is there something we need to do to be able to run historical reports with custom date ranges? Since we did not schedule reporting, if we can access this historical data today, then our entire subscription will have been good for nothing.
