Index/crawl "bloat" - best way to fix?

We submitted a sitemap on search console a few months ago with 40k+ URLs, most of which were thin search result pages. 600 of them got indexed, 3k are crawled but not indexed. We fixed our sitemap to exclude the excessive, low-quality URLs but we're having trouble getting new pages crawled & indexed and I think this is why. We know that we should delete low-quality pages with a 410 code but that only matters for the pages that got indexed, right?

I'm more concerned about the 3k crawled but not indexed pages and remaining ~40k not indexed pages. Will they continue to clog up our crawl budget, so to speak, for a long time? Any advice on how to handle?

Thanks so much for any insight you can offer 🙏🏻

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0
