This might sound ridiculous but when I can’t get a page indexed on Google it usually has the word “your” in the url. When I remove it (remove your) and reindex it works within 24 hours. I thought this was just a coincidence but having tried it over the last few months it seems to work!
I've seen alot of people talking about the API feature in rank math. I would say just use it if your having major indexing issues, other wise it's probably not worth the risk of getting a manual penalty.
I agree. I’d add that since there’s no issue with using the Bing API, go ahead and use it if you want to take the time to set it up. Getting indexed and ranked on Bing hasn’t been as big of an issue though so I don’t think anyone needs to run out and do it today.
That's my take as well. It's worth noting Google has flat out said the limitation on pages they say it's for is only temporary - that they fully intend on expanding it for more types of content.
I agree with you, there is a significant downside to this solution. After implementing the indexing API, my top-ranking blogs have completely vanished from the search rankings. These blogs used to have keywords that consistently ranked in the top 3 positions and generated sales. Shockingly, they are now nowhere to be found in the top 100 search results. This sudden drop occurred within a single day of adding the indexing API. Previously, my blogs were receiving an average of 15 clicks per day, with 800 to 1000 impressions. While this may not have been a substantial amount, considering the fact that my blog is relatively new, it still managed to generate around $50 in revenue in just a week. However, since the implementation of the indexing API, my blog now only receives around 50 impressions per day, with zero clicks. I'm currently at a loss as to how to resolve this issue, as there doesn't seem to be a manual penalty and the URLs are still indexed. In an attempt to improve the situation, I have updated the content, but it remains to be seen if it will have any positive effect.
I think it's awesome that you provide all of this information and the scenarios that could play out and then leave it up to the individual's choice. Understanding all facets of the issue helps people to make the right choice
Thanks for the insightful video! I had not heard about this before. Wonderful to see that the future of indexing looks bright. I was about to set this up with my brand new site but realized Bing has already indexed all my pages :P Google has only indexed 25% of the pages but as you suggested, I won’t risk it even though it is tempting…
Hi! I've been using it from november to date. But, after a month or so, all my indexed pages were not listed on google anymore. I think when you talk about algorithm penalties is about this...
Please Ricky make a video on how to do original research for your content... I am currently working as a writer and giving my full potential but still I am not satisfied with my research skills and I am sure I can improve it a lot.
I have written a huge article even used schema how to, but google is not indexing. There are no errors. Is this normal? Will this chamge after I wait or what?
Love the video as always. I have one burning question though, that I've had for months now and couldn't find an answer to. Once your blogpost ranks, and say it's on the 4th spot (or at page 3, it doesn't really matter). Is it then possible to get ranked higher or is that just the place you're gonna stay at? Or is it more logical that once you gain more authority, you're place in the rankings will also go up?? Thanks again for all the great content.
Your blog posts go up higher in the search results as your website grows and as its authority rises and as it gains more backlinks. You have to keep building the site and doing SEO. Add more and more high quality and original content.
Google has been loading up their search results with youtube videos. Most of the time, I just want an SEO response. I think they are moving in the wrong direction. When looking for an answer, I dont want the intro and blab fluff to the video. I need the answer and need to move on. Great job on the video!
Hi, The Google Indexing API documentation states that pages having either a JobPosting or a BroadcastEvent embedded in a VideoObject can only be crawled using the Indexing API. Thus, it wouldn't be helpful if your posts or pages don't have this particular output. Although some reports claim it works with regular posts or pages, you should exercise caution because abusing the API beyond its intended use could result in penalties from Google.
I wonder if I set up one job listing page for my company and in that page link to the pages that need to be indexed. I wonder if those internal links will be crawled and as a result get ranked quicker. 🤔
Would please solve my indexing pages problem, like alternative with proper canonical tag, duplicate with user selected canonical tag, page with redirect,
Another great video. Thank you so much. I learn so much from this channel. Where can I learn more about Acabato? Not sure if I’m spelling it right but it was a basic SEO tool that you mentioned.
Here, people talk about Google getting smarter everyday and someone's out there who copy pasted my entire post and his post is ranking on the first page just below my post. I've contacted Google, I've written mails to AdSense as well as the owner of the blog and that plagiarized content is still on the first page even after hundreds of Google Algorithm updates.

I used the index API with the instant indexing plugin on my 4-month-old Amazon affiliate blog, and the next day, I experienced a drop in traffic. Previously, I was receiving around 500 page views and earning $56 in Amazon commissions. However, in the past week, I haven't received any clicks, and the keywords that were previously ranking in the top 3 are now not even in the top 100. I haven't received any manual penalties. Is there any way to recover from this?
I've heard from others that if you take a long time in between publishing blog posts, then Google is slower to crawl and index your new content. The thing about blogging is consistency. Taking numerous weeks or even months off causes crawling and indexing delays.
AMP are pretty useless these days because they don't get indexed. If you have some, you will realize that they are grouped under 'Alternative canonical URL selected." So, It beats the logic of having them on your site.
Rankmath has additional features, as I mentioned in the video. If you’re going to use an seo plugin like Rankmath anyway, I prefer to not install a separate plugin unnecessarily.
Please don't use instant indexing by Rankmath. My 10 pages that were well written but getting delayed for indexing for months. I tried Rankmath and next day all 10 pages indexed. I was so happy!!!! Within a week, to my surprise, all 10 articles are invisible on SERP. I checked till last pages but not found. However, GSC showing that it is indexed but practically, they were out of the SERP for ever! I lost my 10 valuable articles having 14k words in total. Guys, stay away with any API plugins if you want your pages being alive for long. This is my personal experience that I share to aware.
My new site was stuck in discovered but not indexed for about 4 months. Someone on reddit recommend me this rankmath indexing. Boom next day half of the articles got indexed.
Hey mate, I love your video, can you talk something about improving conversions? I just launched my new blog couple months ago, and I am getting about 150 monthly users, I know that is not a lot, however I didn’t get any sales from those traffic, I just wondering why?
It’s just an item in my office. It’s actually an old electric smoker. It’s a not to some content I made about smokers a while back. I just shifted the filing cabinet that it sits on a few weeks ago and it’s more noticeable now.
Do you guys really think blogging have a future? As most of the bloggers are now becoming RUclipsrs and most of the internet audience is shifting to videos from blogs as per my research, I would highly appreciate it if you guys can comment your views on this. Thanks
I believe most indexing issues people face are simply because their content isn't good enough. If there isn't enough quality, then why would Google want to rank it and show it to its users? I would completely avoid these hacky indexing tactics. Applying each URL manually via Search Console is your best bet, and if Google is still choosing not to index it... it's time to have a holistic review of your entire site's quality (of content, authority, and topics).
It feels impossible to make money on the web. Sounds like it would take 3 years before you launch anything in order to study, absorb and apply all of the rules, tools and websites before a site/channel can even be found! Very disappointing.
This has been around for a while and works great, especially on Google. I have recently started a new blog that now has over 100 posts indexed - total time? 2 months, no linkbuilding at all. Keep adding new content every day and it is indexed about 12 hours later, that would never have happened without the indexNow API

So glad I haven't had a problem with indexing before.
Great topic for discussion and will be keeping an eye out for more updates. Thanks for providing value!
Keep us posted on API! It is appreciated.
Great if you control the website and actually have access to GSC, but what if you don't? What indexers do you recommend besides Rapid URL Indexer?

AMP are pretty useless these days because they don't get indexed. If you have some, you will realize that they are grouped under 'Alternative canonical URL selected." So, It beats the logic of having them on your site.
