How to Fix Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’ from Google Search Console

I found my website have 40+ URLs marked ‘noindex’ from Google Search Console.

What Does it mean?

It means that Google found your URL on your website but not included it in Google search results.

Where You Can Check ‘noindex’ Error?

Login to your Google Search Console and click Coverage then click on Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’

Google search console - coverage and click on submitted URL marked noindex

How it happens – Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’ error?

Your website generate a noindex meta either at your web page or at your website  HTTP response. It is telling Google not to index your website.

In my case this is my web page HTML that has ‘noindex’ meta tag.

When I checked HTTP response there is no ‘noindex’ in the header.

You can use website that provide HTTP header checking. In my case I use keycdn.

Why This Error Happens at My Website?

In my case, I use WordPress Elementor theme where accidentally marked the page as noindex and Elementor added the ‘noindex’ to the meta tag.

Add Your URL to Google Index @ Into Google Search Results

Double check whether ‘noindex’ is removed after you remove the ‘noindex’ either from meta or HTTP response.

Only then you request indexing from Google Search Console.

google search console - indexing requested
google search console – indexing requested
Google search console - successful indexing
Google search console – successful indexing

Google indexing request is rejected if Google still finds ‘noindex’ tag at your URL.

Google search console - indexing request rejected due to noindex
Google search console – indexing request rejected due to noindex

Successful Google Indexing

After a week when I check the ‘noindex’ error have only 2 URLs where these 2 URLs I don’t want Google to index them.

How To Cancel CIMB Property Fire Insurance

I have a housing loan with CIMB so one of their requirement is to send them every year a fire insurance certificate of my apartment. Usually they will send email reminder but last year they didn’t.

I take fire insurance under my apartment JMB because it is much cheaper around RM70 only vs CIMB fire insurance around RM238.

I noticed in January, CIMB charged me the fire insurance to my housing loan account because I didn’t send them my fire insurance certificate that I took with my apartment JMB.

How To Cancel The Fire Insurance

Send your JMB fire insurance certificate or other fire insurance that you take with other insurance company to csa.insurance@cimb.com

Please include your name and housing loan account with CIMB.

cimb fire insurance - email to csa.insurance@cimb.com
cimb fire insurance – email to csa.insurance@cimb.com
cimb fire insurance property - reply
cimb fire insurance property – reply

How Long It Takes for CIMB to Cancel the Fire Insurance Charges?

It takes around 1 month, as I send my cancellation request on 22th January 2202 and the charge is reverted back by 22nd February 2022.

The good thing CIMB refunded the full amount.

Airbnb Meridin Medini Review Near Legoland Johor

We stay at one of Airbnb unit at Meridin Medini from 27th January date to 1st February 2022.

Check In Process

It is standard in most airbnb unit where you need to pick your access card at mailbox. Thanks to not so many visitors so check in and check out process were smooth.

The Unit

The unit had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with one king bed and one queen bed. Comfortable floor mattresses were provided.

Overall unit was OK but unfortunately the fridge was not cold at all. Aircond also not cold. I had to clean up the aircond filter only after that it started to be cold. Shampoo and shower bath are low quality.

Sofa was also felt so rigid not comfy. TV was small, I think it was around 40 inch.

Surprisingly the unit was not that hot even though outside was hot. What I like the unit had good WIFI and Netflix.

Common Facilities

I love the facilities even thought it was standard facilities in any condominium but there was no one or nearly no one who were using it. So the place was not crowded.

Besides it was easy to get lift as there were not so many visitors.

Rates

We were paying RM160++ per night. For me it was reasonable price but disappointed couldn’t use the fridge, sofa not comfy and aircond not functioning well.

Location

It was near to Legoland Johor which took only 5 mn drive to Legoland and 10mn drive to Puteri Harbour.

Hyundai Starex Executive Plus Review for Long Journey Travel

I bought my Hyundai Starex Executive Plus 2.5 December 2021 for my long vacation traveling.

On 27th January, we go to Medini, Johor for Legoland vacation.

What I Like about Starex for Long Distance Traveling

Starex is very spacious you can fill in lots of luggage at the back but still have ample room for 6 persons at the back plus one driver and co pilot.

From Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam to Johor Bahru with estimated distance of  342 km, Starex consumed around RM100 worth of diesel which I think is quite fuel efficient.

hyundai starex executive plus – use half the fuel from Shah Alam to Johor Bahru.

Besides Starex is quite stable even speeding at 140km per hour. You don’t feel any vibration at that speed.

What I Don’t Like about Starex?

What I don’t like about Starex is its steering. For long distance it is quite tiring using its steering because you can’t rest your hand on the steering like my Myvi.
