: Sitemap submitted to HTTPS profile also influenced HTTP profile in Google Webmaster Tools Recently I upgraded a site to use an SSL certificate and noticed strange behaviour with Google Webmaster

Posted in: #GoogleSearchConsole #Sitemap

Recently I upgraded a site to use an SSL certificate and noticed strange behaviour with Google Webmaster Tools.

Before starting the changes Google WMT Sitemap for www.example.com was showing as 920 pages submitted and 774 indexed.

After getting the site fully working with the SSL certificate, removing the sitemap for www.example.com/ and submitting a new sitemap for www.example.com/, Google WMT Sitemap for www.example.com shows as 920 pages submitted and 799 indexed -- however, Google WMT Sitemap for www.example.com has changed to now show as 1840 pages submitted and 1573 indexed, so clearly this has been influenced by the recent submission of the www sitemap.

I would be grateful for your thoughts on why this might be.

The traffic (impressions and clicks per day) has remained roughly the same though has gradually moved from the www.example.com profile to the www.example.com profile as expected.

: Google Analytics Search Term Exclusions doesn't work? I have a question concerning GA Search Term Exclusions. I excluded our brand search terms, but they still show up under "Acquisition" > "Channel"

: I'm honestly not sure why your implementation isn't working properly, but just wonder if its more to do with Google Analytics having changed how they work to now use what they call Universal

Google treats the base domain as roll-up of all the subdomains. I have a site with 10 subdomains each with about the same number of pages. In Google Webmaster Tools it reports that the base domain has the sum of the pages on all subdomains indexed, even though the base domain doesn't have that many pages itself.

Based on your findings, it would appear that they treat the site as a roll-up of site as well. Indexed https pages count towards the total of indexed http pages.
