Google search: Patrol4x4.co.za results not appearing?

Post by SJC »

I was not sure if the problem is with my browser but get the same results with Brave and Chrome and also on my phone's browser (Safari):

When for example searching "rivertrip patrol4x4.co.za", one would expect all relating patrol forum threads appearing in the google results.

This however is not the case anymore as following entry appear in results:

"https://www.patrol4x4.co.za
No information is available for this page."


When opening the "Learn Why" link the following message appears:

"It means that the website prevented Google from creating a page description, but didn't actually hide the page from Google.

If you own this site you can improve this result either by letting Google read the page to create a good description, or by hiding the page entirely from Google Search results."

That may have been a temporary issue.
I get the page and the river trip pages when I search as you did.

Works for me as well.

Fanus, maybe try again and see if it's OK now?

Thanks for bringing it up. I am aware of one hosting-related issue which I need to sort out soonest. More on that later. Will see what I can do to make it better. :)

patrol4x4.co.za seems to still be excluded from google search results, which might explain to low amount of traffic on the forum. :mytwocents:
