I wrote 32 articles on a new site in July 2020. Only about 18 were indexed. I rewrote them and submitted them to search console in February 2021. So far so good.
How long did it take for your other articles to be indexed after you submitted them? I'm having a similar problem and it's been a week since submitting them, with their current status as "discovered - currently not indexed (or crawled)"
I was the person who didn’t get indexed for 8 months on many articles. I could share a few of the examples with you if it would be helpful
Sure! If you want to use the feedback form I link to in the description you can send me any info you want without posting it here openly.
That is a good topic. Sometimes I feel some of my articles are not indexed because they are not ranking.
I have tried severally and is tempted to just abandon them.
Thanks for this series. I hope to be able to find solution to my problem.
Have you sent Google your sitemap? This is very important fir them to index your site + everything he said on the video
I'm ranking well on other search engines like Bing, Yahoo, and Duckduckgo which is a signal that my content is good. I'm not going to let this discourage me from creating more content because that's the most important thing. If there is a chance for my articles to get indexed in the future then I will continue until I reach a certain amount of articles I had intended to write. I just don't want to have any regrets when my articles start to index. Best to finish the mission and be proud of your work.
hi andrew , glad to hear that you are running well ..could you tell me how many posts you have till now
@@kylesok5179 100
Hey andrew, My site don't appear on search engines like bing or yahoo, what should I do?
Updates?
I have lot of pages that are not being indexed. I know a lot of people might know this but let me just say it for those that don't. I noticed a simple pattern: these articles were not internally linked to those that had been already indexed. Remember to always add outbound links to your indexed articles for the articlea you want to get indexed
Thanks for your knowledge!
meh, i use Yoast Premium and still 80% of my pages are not indexed
@@ericdahl2915 Change the plugin dude, I am also doing the same, I heard rank math is better option than Yoast or anyother alternative.
@Jawad Ahmad, If I add internal links to the posts that are already being indexed to the post which are not indexed, would it get indexed?
First of all, the video series idea is fantastic. Secondly, I have had an indexing problem partly because I checked that "discourage indexing" checkbox while installing WordPress, and it messed up everything. I tried almost everything to fix it, but Google won't index my articles. So I deleted that starter site, bought a new domain, and started posting articles on that. It started indexing within less than 24 hours.
have to click the discourage idexing button to indexing the side?
@@oneclickshorts9866 No. Never ever do that.
Yes! This is the exact video series I needed. I've been struggling with this problem on my blog that I started in Jan. I currently have 38 blog posts and only 22 of them are indexed. Definitely looking forward to the upcoming videos. Thanks for addressing this issue!
Have you tried to promote your blog posts on other content platforms? The thing is Google probably has a list of priority websites which they will index instantly as soon as new content appears e.g. twitter, RUclips, news websites etc. So promoting your Content on those platforms (including a link back to your post on your blog) kind of forces Google to index your web pages. May Simba's five forces be with your content. ~Simba
@@pied-piper-of-hamelin Thanks for the tips. I currently promote my new blogs on instagram, Pinterest, linkedin, and facebook and while Google is finding my blog posts, they're choosing not to index them. I've yet to discover any common thread...
I wrote 30 articles and waited to battleship. And waited, and waited. After a year, I realized none of my articles had been indexed. I went into Google Console and requested indexing. It was indexed in 2 weeks. That was about 5 months ago.
If too many sites have already covered the same subject Google doesnt index anymore. It thinks "this subject is already present on Internet."
GREAT series Ricky. I haven’t noticed any of my content not being indexed but will certainly check
Liked, subscribed. One page on my site ranking 5 top and is not important while another one is not indexed but it is important.
If that article is important, I think I’d link to it prominently on the homepage until it gets indexed. And of course request indexing for that url.
This was the problem in my past. But now I started new website in Aug 2020 and till now I have published 33 posts and all of them has been indexed and ranked successfully.. Thanks to jim and ricky for motivation
I've not noticed any indexing issues with my sites, but now I want to go and check. Thanks Ricky 😊
Been having indexing issues on my newest site. Thinking it's due to some low quality content from a bad writer. Half of my content was indexed the other half not. I drafted all the "poor" content and now my site is getting more views then it's ever had. Think it got like 16 views yesterday (normally gets less than 5)
I published 73 articles and only about 25 of them indexed
I started my blog in August 2020 and it took google half a year to even start indexing and testing out my pages. Therefore I believe I am severely behind on the regular timeframe, as I have 103 articles (many older than 8 months) and I'm just barely starting to see 50 to 70 page views per day. Overall monthly traffic has been increasing steadily over the last 4 months but it's still quite low. I also noticed that many of my articles jumped in and out of the index for seemingly no reason. While checking the competition, some of the other blogs have seen the hockey stick growth in as little as 6 months. It's weird, but I just wanted to let you know that Google sometimes just decides to ignore some pieces of content for a very long time for no apparent reason, even though I'm sure there must be one.
I started a new site 2 months ago. Some contents have been indexed. But some of them not.
I had another 2 years old site with contents, but didn't perform well. I mean I had no traffic for those contents. What I did was I removed all of the contents and reinstalled wordpress. Put just one content and indexed through search console. After 1 day it was indexed. But the contents in my site weren't indexed.
Interesting
How many links? I have a couple of pages that are ranking a bit and I have put links to my new pages from there. Not sure if that works but you may try it.
Thank you so much for this video- I was seriously considering rage-quitting my blogging and RUclips quest until I discovered this video. I hope you guys continue to update and keep us posted on this.
How is the progress bruh?
I had some big indexing issues as the property changed from with www to without www. This can happen when you move hosting, make updates etc.
Haven't had a problem with this. Probably sheer luck, like 100 monkeys typing out Hamlet. Looking forward to the next video. I want to know what I've been doing that works. And what I can do better.
This is great timing, thanks! I've had pretty good luck getting indexed quickly, but one post is nowhere to be found on rankings. Time to figure out why (hopefully)!
This is the first video I've watched by income school.
wow, I mean this guy is amazing. I've enjoyed the whole video and session. It is soo friendly.
I've indexed all his words and what is trying to Conway through his words...!!!😃😁
Wow, thanks!
No issues yet, but I will keep this in mind. Thank you!
Great advice Ricky! Even though my content is ranking thanks to Project 24, I still followed along and double-checked the settings of my website anyways. Keep up the great videos!
Great! Thank you very much!!! Been working on my site for a couple of weeks now trying to figure out Indexing and things.
Just gotta say - I LOVE the new efforts on this channel. THANK YOU RICKY!
Some real real talk here:
I have several articles which do not rank. This seems to be the following reasons...
- YMYL topics
- Heavy competition
- insufficient quality of content (yup this one hurts)
Have to stay honest 😁
Hey INCOME SCHOOL, I've got a site with 35 articles published(all in the first month my blog was live). Do you think my blog will be able to earn enough money to pay for the renew of web hosting and domain? Cuz I'm a student with limited money.
Yes, I have a few articles that Google doesn't wanna index. What all of them have in common is that they are crap. Utterly garbage articles I made at the beginning of my blogging journey. :) I've rewritten some of the articles and only a week or so later, I started to see them getting indexed. My top advice is: look at your content and see if it actually fits the user's search intent.
Thanks for bringing this question up!
Got one of sites stuck with no-index problem, hope to hear in these videos a solution or at least a new method to try.
I honest have no idea how to tell if my stuff is indexed, but doesn't seem to have been a problem. Would love to check!
grab a few words from the content and put it in "" Example "your text from your blog post" and put it in google.
I also have the same problem.. some contents in my blog was not getting index for several months.. then I decided to change the title and change the url.. then I refetch the link in webmaster tool.. it works.. one article got indexed by google.. However, I still have another article that doesn't indexed by google.. Thank you for making this topic, I can't wait to watch next videos about this topic..
Man this is the topic I'm looking for... Thank you!!! Need at least two videos from you guys... One probably informational like today's video and one video on some site successful/failed site review... Two videos like that would be great.
The indexing was confusing; my article with 300 words got indexed, but not with my 2000 words article, and it's more than 5 months. (yes that is in the same domain), already try many ways, include API indexing but still, nothing happen. my last choice is just to pray to the gods of algorithm.
This is what I am looking for...correct time...
Hi Ricky, for some ofmy URLs under coverage, it says "Discovered - Currently not Indexed". Should I get worried?
No common trends are obvious but over 15 out of 40 articles I posted over 2 months ago were not indexed. I think it has more to do with Google becoming more strict with the budget like you mentioned as the top results for those queries were definitely worse content.
My question is how many links to your site and your pages?
I've been having heaps of issues with redirect errors causing content to not be indexed but there's no actual error. Apparently it's a blogger issue redirecting the bot between the mobile and .html versions and there's nothing that can be done. Most of my posts get indexed but some just get pinged for redirect errors, it's SO frustrating.
I was curious why you showed Yoast as I thought you preferred Rank Math as an SEO plug in. Have your thoughts on Rank Math changed?
Yes. I'd like to know more. I thought you took the SEO plug ins off your sites. Thanks!
I do prefer Rank Math and usually don’t even use an SEO plugin. But one of the reasons we have so many sites is that we can continue to test things.
Yoast has made quite a few updates and if my opinion about them is only informed by what features they had a year or more ago, then my opinion isn’t valid anymore.
I’ll do an update before long with my latest recommendations.
@@IncomeSchool your opinion on experience w the program would still be valuable for beginner
1- Drip feed 100 articles each year.
2- Start making money at the end of the next year.
Another awesome video Ricky, I can't wait for the rest of the series, thanks again.
I do have. Especially for small topics that hadnt been answered before...
I recently found a few posts that were not indexed, they were only like 2 or 3 weeks old, but it freaked me out, and then I started spot-checking other posts, haha I went ahead and told Google to index those that weren't. I am sure that is what your next video is going to be about.
I've never had crawling issues but I've had other weird issues where an image from a post will rank higher than my actual article. After a week or so it eventually sorts itself out though.
I love the title of this video, made me click instantly. 😎
Great video, all my pages took approximately 4 months to get indexed. And that too happened because I manually indexed them all via search console. Looks like google is getting a bit more strict with their indexing plans.
Post slug and Title also a reason to not index your post on Google. I already experienced this in one of my post just changing the slug of the post working for me.
I have an interesting scenario where some of my blog posts are not being indexed, but are still shown to be getting traffic. My site is only a couple of months old so it, of course, takes time for google to crawl the posts. I have one post in particular that according to google analytics is my third best page for traffic yet according to the URL inspector is not currently indexed, which is good, but also a bit confusing.
same pinch
I have lost all my data in GA since the weekend. No visitors count, no page views, even what was already there is gone! I don't know what happened!
I've been very surprised by the amount a piece has moved around in the results in the first 2-6 weeks it appears. Most seem to have stabilized a bit after a couple months, but was always switching up for the first while.
Super helpful video....looking forward to the next one. Thanks Ricky. 👍🏻
Interesting video, I was doing fine, and creating content for years. But i see that the indexed pages are getting less and less out of the blue. These are good blog posts, with tons of info. Better than the competition. It is frustrating! It doesnt feel 'fair'. :(
If you have good internal linking, you could possibly send some of the link juice from the articles that are being indexed to the pages that aren't being indexed and possibly signal to Google that this piece of content is worth indexing.
Wow, I had no idea pages not getting indexed was even an issue. How do I know if a page or post hasn't been indexed? It doesn't have any traffic? Guess I'll watch the next video!
When I was creating content for my blog regularly my posts used to get indexd and ranked by Google 1 to 2 hours after requesting indexing, I ve stopped publishing new content for 2 years now it takes weeks
I had some issues also with Google not indexing... But the most annoying issue is Google says the font size is too small in a few blog posts, but if I check in GSC, it always says that the post is mobile friendly and everything is good ✅. But if I tell Google to verify that, it just happens again and again. And all blog posts are the same font size. It is really confusing and frustrating... But thanks for the help Ricky.
Hello!
When I search the domain of my website; google returns "maybe you wanted to say... " and changes the search result.
I am not focussing on get traffic from SEO, but I at least want to return my website when they search the domain in Google.
How can I do it?
I have to say, I've spent the past week binging your channel and LOVE your content! You guys are so real and relatable, with the *best* blogging content I've seen on RUclips. I feel like I can actually do this blogging thing properly this time and I'm aiming to join P24 this year
You are sweet. 1. I think you should explain to ppl how to actually send Google a sitemap. 2. Still wish you would do a video about writing a post correctly. There is no information about it and I have searched ( even on Bing). Thank you for everything 🤗
So a manual index request submission doesn’t guarantee indexation I guess?
It absolutely does not. It's just a request for them to consider indexing. However, it's not a bad thing to do if you have articles that haven't been indexed after a few weeks.
@@IncomeSchool Guess Google likes the content I post then. I’ve noticed that Google usually indexes within a few hours even if a 100 word paragraph is published.
There are these annoying aggregator websites that keep reposting content (With attribution link) as soon as they are published on mine and some of these copied articles do appear on the SERPs.
So what I do now is just post the intro paragraph and manually submit an index request. Later on I update the full contents of the article once the aggregator website has copied the intro - Just to avoid them copying the whole article. Any feedback on this? Sorry for going off topic :)
Great video! I think another reason John Mueller mentioned pages don't get crawled is due to the overall quality of a website. If the overall quality of a website is low then they may not index all of the pages of that website. So great content is always the way to go.
Once you have the initial hitlist down, how do you build out an outline for each topic to give to your writers?
I had the same issue earlier this year!
Thanks for your feedback!!
I had 102 posts that refused to index. It recently dropped to 65 but still sucks to have that many but I will say this is a google problem they are not aware of. I had a post index today I published early February. 8 months later. Didn’t change a thing. Google just finally started to index some posts.
Problem with income school WordPress theme, the default font is too small. Google search console shows errors that text is too small and clickable element is too close.
This is a great idea for a series! I just started a new site 2 months ago. Looking forward to knowing how I can get all those pages to start showing up
2 month old site in the works, and only 4 of 18 posts have been crawled - even with internal linking? Looking forward to this series.
How can a page be purged from Google. If a page was deleted but a few months later is still listed in Search Console.
Thanks for this Ricky! Great stuff as always
What do I do when google tells me that they've postponed my sites because they got overloaded when the spider thingy happened?
I have heard if an article isn't indexed you can change the URL slug and resubmit it to the google search console to resolve the issue.
I recently publish a website with two subdomains. subdomains are for other languages. I add domain and two other subdomain to google search console. but only one subdomain get indexed. main domain and the other subdomain only have thier homepage indexed. Robot txt on domain and subdomains are set, sitemaps are added to search console. after 4 weeks nothing happen... what's wrong?
I had a regular post that was originally indexed, and then indexing disappeared, for months. It was right around that time last year when you could not request indexing. I ended up reposting under a different URL, and it got indexed fine. There was nothing unusual about the article.
Thanks for the video Rickey. I will check to make sure my sites are indexed correctly.
Not that I am aware of. I don’t have time to check if I am indexed or even how my pages rank any more. Just focusing on new content. Is there an easy way to check?
Cheers for the insight mate. Valuable knowledge. Subbed.
Have you ever run into this issue where Google didn’t index your content even though plenty of time had passed? Did you ever figure out why? I did. We made one of these mistakes, totally by accident, and one of our sites didn’t start getting indexed for 5 months! I sincerely hope that this video and the ones to come help you get your content indexed and ranking much more quickly!
Don’t miss the next video on how to see what content Google has indexed ruclips.net/video/NPfOM0ist_4/видео.html
In the meantime, don’t forget that commenting on this video enters you into the Income School comment contest. Learn what that means here (incomeschool.com/2021-comment-contest/).
I had same problem 30 + artcles close to 12 months old...i went resubmitted every one good now...i am guessing but i think with increase of web traffic...just overloaded
Commenting for the contest; that title works BTW
So far touch wood I have not found this issue, but a lot of my content is under 8 months old . will watch the rest of the series so I can double check. thanks Ricky
Blogs not indexed. Main page is. I manually submitted all now half of them aren't indexed anymore.
Installing a SSL certificate has created redirects and google wont pick up my https instead of http pre cursor. What can i do to get this resolved?
Looking forward to that next video!
My website it's has the same problem but what if I will just index it on Search console
This is a great series, started with video 2 but this is exactly the basics I need!
So no solutions in this video in how to FIX THE INDEXING PROBLEM??
I had huge issues, but I think I figured out a fix. I had to change the urls. I'm worried about the internal links, did I ruin my site?! I had 33 posts that wouldn't index for 4 months. I made a spreadsheet tried a few things and the results were changing the slugs is the only thing that worked.
Great Content, thanks Rick. Some of my Blogpost took 15 Month to show up.
How do I get my news site on Google news?. I created a Google News index but still can't get site on Google news.
Right now after i publish an article...as a habit i manually submit it
Where do I check if my content is indexed or not?
Thanks for your time and honesty
My website will be a Year old in 2022.
Is it early 2022 time for the Battleship method?
Is there another thing I should do?
The timing of this videos is just perfect. I have recently run to this issue on my site which is about four months old. Although I have managed to get most of my posts indexed now, there is one that Google just won’t index no matter what I do. Can’t wait to find out what can be done about it.
I wrote an article along the same idea as two other articles that are at the top of page one. After a month it still hadn't even showed up on Google. I went back to my article and found I didn't push publish. Don't do that either! Within a week it was on page one.
I never realized that this was a problem. My posts take up to 30 minutes to get indexed and ranked. Sometimes it's almost immediate. I'm always learning!
I have occasionally submitted a site map.
Most of the time Google index my post and later on they deindex it. Then a few months later they will index it back again in that process... Why that and how can I prevent it.
Also... Anytime update my existing content they deindex it. Please why that too.
do you leave it at default yes or just yes in the advance section of yoast?
it's usually dupe content (canonical issues) technical issues when a site has indexing issues
I haven’t had the issue yet.. I manually submit via search console and typically see my site rank within a few days at worst.
