OLD Links of Theme still appearing on website???

  • Hi support,

    I removed all the links and text and even images Once the website was built. But I still have Google informing of links that apparently still exist on my site, but I cannot figure out where?

    I need help to resolve this issue please.

    Here are examples of those:

    https://awakenwords.com/category/tile-and-surface-cleaning/
    https://awakenwords.com/the-art-of-effective-pool-cleaning/
    https://awakenwords.com/the-key-to-a-healthy-and-clear-pool/
    https://awakenwords.com/creating-your-personal-aquatic-retreat/
    etc…

    At the beginning I was going to use the Poolswift theme and then I switch to Avery which I ended up liking better for my purpose.

    Ever since I am struggling with the above.

    Looking forward to your news.

    Kind regards,
    Celestin

  • Hi there,

    Google index is not updating every day, you might need to wait for some time until it re-crawls your site.

    However, when you are building a site, you should set the site to noindex, so Google won’t crawl your site and keep the record.

  • Hi Ying,

    The site has been fully alived for a year or less now. Therefore it is not something casual, it has been happening since was up. I did ask them to ignore those links but have never responded. Therefore now, I really need to remove those links, but I don’t seem to find them anywhere. So, please hid carefully my request.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,

  • Hum…that’s weird…

    GP does not manage the permalink, so I am not quite sure how to remove those links.

    I did a manual search using the keyword “site: awakenwords.com/category/tile-and-surface-cleaning/”, I didn’t find any related search results, while when I searched “site: awakenwords.com/category/spiritual-book-reviews/”, the search results show your site and the category.

    So I don’t think the 404 links are still being indexed in the real search.

  • Hi,

    Thank you very much for the clarification.

    Have a great day.

    Kind Regards,

    Celestin.
