Duplicate, Google Chose Different Canonical Than User

Over the past month or so, an increasing number of pages on our site have been de-indexed. It has started to affect some of our highly ranked pages and I'm worried about a 'contagion' of sorts since I have no idea what is causing it or how to stop it.

A slew of our products and blogs are being canonicalized to completely random pages that have nothing to do with them.

There hasn't been any changes to the XML sitemap, I've tried to force a few of those pages with Yoast to go to the correct canonical but nothing seems to work.

The only change that has been made to the site was at around the same time the first few pages started to de-index, a few DNS records were added.

Outside of that I'm at a loss on how to stop it.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
