on the subject of schema and structured data, sometimes it is very important, especially since video is important. To preserve most of my page load speed, I add a video to my page, then I add a script to load the player only if the user scrolls down to the video, and then the schema mark-up telling Google that there is a video on the page. The delayed player loading makes it where Google doesn't see the video because it is not actually embedded.... you HAVE to add the schema if you want those brownie points for having a video on the page. Always add video, recipe, product, and FAQ schema whenever you can.
Ai seems to be ranking and indexing just fine. I produce 100s of articles a day for multiple sites. I do use SEO tools after that also again once it's indexed and getting some impressions. As long as the content is checked, fact-checked and adding a little personal experience or case studies you are golden. 'at the moment'
@@thomasjepsen9714I imagine there are thousands of people doing the same... and in a few months there will be a Google update and these same people will be crying. And I will have no sympathy for them
Im not saying it will last that why everything need editing and making your own. Im seeing people using some softwares pushing 1000 post a day right now with openai api with no editing. Its crazy. I would love to see some stats on content publish 2022 compared to this year 😂
I thought Discovered Not Indexed just meant that the crawl budget was exceeded, but that's not the case then? That's what I thought I read in google console last time I checked...
Not at all. Unless you have tens of thousands of pages, it's very rare you'll exceed your crawl budget. If you have a page that is "Discovered - not indexed" in GSC, there are technical or quality issues.
@@brotendo This is what GSC says when I click on the explanation. Does not sound too serious, but I'm no expert on this..: "Discovered - currently not indexed The page was found by Google, but not crawled yet. Typically, Google wanted to crawl the URL but this was expected to overload the site; therefore Google rescheduled the crawl. This is why the last crawl date is empty on the report."
Saying don't index categories makes ZERO sense. If you are preplanning and optimizing your site in tight silos your category page should be used to go after a big traffic short tail i.e. the category. I have category pages doing 50% of traffic because I custom create them (don't use default cat. functionality) using a mix of looped posts and relevant content. Building a blog and just trying to rank individual pages speaks to a spray and prey (not good) strategy. Also bringing users into categories often leads to higher time on page and greater crawl depth because they get exposed to different topics covered that are relevant to intent.
Yes, there are cases where indexing category pages is the right choice. I guess I should have been more specific in saying that it's really more applicable for auto-generated categories that don't attempt to rank for anything.

As was spun content for some time back in the day.
All it takes is for one core update...
