URL Type confusion

Hello,

I’m hoping soemone could clarify what this url file is.
https://www.psmbrokerage.com/_hcms/postlisting?blogId=1532564867&maxLinks=5&listingType=popular_past_six_months&orderByViews=true&hs-expires=1742708360&hs-version=2&hs-signature=AJ2IBuHftqYzofBrW1v8YZ2A_TXj561UWw
I have a lot of them but don’t know what it is, what it does, or where it came from. Hubspot support had no idea either, which is odd…
Thanks,

Shannon

Hi @PSM

It appears that this is a URL generated by your blog (either the template or modules withing the blog).

This is the script on your blog that generates the link:

I am not 100% sure what the purpose of this is but I would guess it’s being used for pulling in related/top/recent articles on your blog pages.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense. Our blog has a ‘Most Popular Posts’ section in the side menu that lists 5 blogs. By the name of the url that would make sense..
Would this be auto created? or created when our site was created, and then auto populated?

I see over 1,000 of these url’s in Google Search Console, but I know I never created them.
Thanks for your isnight.

These links are generated automatically, likely by that script, which probably belongs to that popular blogs module.

There is an older community thread where people were running into similar issues and it seems like updating the robots.txt file helped in some cases (in terms of calming down Google Search Console).

Thanks. Does it really matter that they are getting no-indexed? Or is it just an annoying note in Google?

Thanks
