I have a website which has good rank in SERP.
But the question is that, i’m not showing some pages of my website which is not more useful or less important pages. So, it consider as a hidden content or affect on my website ranking?.
One more thing, this page also get some impression.
Hmm, I’m a little confused can you reword that? Are you using WordPress or something similar? And how are they hidden, are they just not linked anywhere or are you literally hiding the pages (in other words, are they unpublished or in draft mode)?
Pages that are published but not linked may still be found by search engines or accessed by your sites search feature if it has one, so that may be how you’re getting views still. Or it could be that it’s counting your own views too.
As @OzRamos says, it’s not clear what you mean here. If you are using the robots meta tag to prevent some pages being indexed, then of course that’s not a problem. That’s not considered “hidden” content.
Hidden content is when you make content available to search engine bots which is not available to human visitors, in an attempt to manipulate search results. See https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66353.
No, If you have blocked some pages of your website using robots.txt then it is not a hidden content, so don’t worry about that, But you try to figure out any pages of your website is invisible to reader, and accessible to google bot, Check your meta robots tag.
ex
<meta name="robots" content="No index, Follow "/>
In this case bots can access pages, but do not appear in google index.
That should be
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
“noindex” is written as a single word.
(You don’t need to specify “follow”, which is default behaviour.)
You don’t understand questions properly,
Of course default is follow, but try to understand questions properly my dear friend.
I have added this meta to make his understand, whether he added meta tag like this
meta name=“robots” content=“NOINDEX , follow”
If at all he added meta tag like this, he should update it with
meta name=“robots” content="index, Follow "
You need basic education in SEO.
That’s fine, but if you’re going to give examples, it’s important to ensure they are correct. The example you gave would not have prevented indexing, because it was incorrectly written and would therefore not have been understood.
I don’t know how invalid directives get handled, but “nofollow” and “noindex” (among others) are valid, while “follow” and “index” are not.
I believe “index” and “follow” are valid, but as that is the default behaviour, it’s unnecessary to specify them.
