Seeking help! No matter how many keywords/names u search related to this story the article doesn't appear on Google
This was a front page A1 story I wrote for WaPo on how smear campaigns and abuse women journalists endure are a press freedom issue. Can someone explain why the article does not appear on Google? https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/02/14/women-journalists-global-violence/
@taylorlorenz Never in my life have I seen an article that doesn't immediately appear when searching for the exact title.
Weirdly enough, it doesn't appear on DuckDuckGo too. Could it be that WaPo turned off indexing for this?
Hey @taylorlorenz, this may be even worse than you thought: The Washington Post un-indexed the article, so that no search engine is allowed to index it.
I used this index checker to both check an arbitrary WaPo article and the one you sent. You could try more articles to see if this is more of a common thing.
The way it looks to me now is that the Washington Post basically shadow-banned this article.
Google index checker online is best tool created by small seo tools to check how many web pages of your website are indexed. This tool verifies that your website is indexed or not.
@taylorlorenz and Doug @dougv found that it's served with a noindex tag!
