Something weird is going.
I redesigned a website and went live.
We changed a lot of URLs using 301s, which resolved just fine.
But I just noticed that many of my blogs aren't indexed. Instead, a 404 page with a URL that looks almost exactly like the blog's URL is indexed.
The strange 404 URL that nearly mimics my blog URLs has the date in the URL instead of /blog/.
Example...
This is the 200 URL I want indexed: apples.com/blog/red-apples
But this 404d URL is indexed instead: apples.com/4/5/2020/red-apples
My problems are:
1) I don't know the origin of the 404 URL.
2) I don't know why the 404 URL is indexed while the 200 URL is not.
Any ideas?
