: Getting page indexed after fixing rel canonical error I found a WordPress plugin created a rel="canonical" error in a section of my site. This error caused lower pages to point to the main

I found a WordPress plugin created a rel="canonical" error in a section of my site. This error caused lower pages to point to the main page via a rel="canonical". I fixed the error 3 weeks ago and removed rel="canonical" from my site.

However, Google will not seem to index the lower pages that had the rel="canonical"error.

Am I just doomed with getting these lower pages indexed now that my rel="canonical" error originally told Google these pages were duplicates of the main page?

I even submitted that whole section of the site to be recrawled in Webmaster Tools but Google will not index the lower pages.

Anyone have any other tips I should follow?

: When does the 301-redirected URL gets indexed? I had a page on my website like example.com/dir/page but now I have moved it to example.com/page. The old URL 301-redirects to the new URL.

It might just be a matter of time until Google crawls and indexes them without rel="canonical", but the following might help:

Use the Fetch as Google tool to trigger crawling for the updated URLs (follow the steps there).
In your sitemap, indicate the last modification date by supplying the lastmod attribute.
Also in your sitemap, specify the priority attribute for the updated URLs as a high number (e.g., 1.0).
Finally resubmit your sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools.

Then periodically check for the URLs using site:mydomain.com/url (it can take up to weeks).
