Later, I found the problem and it took almost a month for the website ranking to recover. . . . What a painful realization.
Solution: Cancel the robots.txt blocking setting for this directory, create a sitemap, and submit it to three search engines. Then resubmit the corresponding URL in the tools of Goolge and Bing to have it re-indexed. Even if it is included, you still need to refresh the page. This cycle is slower than the inclusion of a new website.
Common SEO issues: Accidentally blocking URLs, causing pages not to be indexed
4.4. A large number of 404 pages appear
During the National Day holiday, I found a lot of unnecessary URLs (404 pages) through Google Serach Console. The reason was that I wrote an article " Search Engine Optimization Practice: Keyword Layout Strategy ". I wrote about the URL writing method in the article body and created a virtual URL in the article body. As a result, it was crawled by Google, but not Bing and Baidu. This shows that Goolge can correctly identify the URL from the website body, even if you don't have a link. Many things can only be learned through actual practice.
Common SEO issues: A large number of 404 pages
Solution: Remove the domain name, and then use the code reference method for the URL, so that the search engine thinks this is a code segment, not a URL. At the same time, block these URLs in the robots.txt file.

Search Engine Optimization Practical Experience
- SEO strategy: website inclusion
The first thing to consider after a new website is how to get its content indexed by search engines. If it is not indexed, keyword ranking is out of the question. The more indexed, the greater the chance of ranking high.
Features of Baidu SEO
Each search engine has different indexing situations. Baidu is the least friendly to new websites. It basically locks them in a small dark room for a long time, unless you have better external link resources to add more entries for you.
Bing and Google like new sites the most, especially Bing. They consider the age of domain names less frequently. They only look at the freshness of the articles and their effectiveness to customers. So as long as you write well, you can basically get a good ranking. Goolge's inclusion is also very fast,
but due to the blocking of mainland users, there are relatively few people in China who use Google (developers or foreign trade users use it more often). On the job data contrary, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan or overseas Chinese search for Chinese more often. The search habits include different names for traditional Chinese nouns, such as Internet marketing and software, so the customers attracted are also different, so the traffic is not large.
