Forums Forums White Hat SEO Discovered – currently not indexed

  • Discovered – currently not indexed

    Posted by seohelper on May 12, 2021 at 3:58 pm

    Hi Guys,

    Throwaway account of sorts, more of a lurker on Reddit these days!

    Anyway, I launched a local business website back in February. It’s going great and SEO / Map Pack SEO is starting to really bare some fruit now.

    I do have one problem though. In webmaster tools I’m getting alot of blog posts and/or company pages that show this on the coverage tool.

    ” Discovered – currently not indexed”

    I’ve increased the content of these pages, wondering if it was something related to Panda et al but to no avail. These pages don’t come up on Google at all. I’m slightly worried that if my website is becoming tarred with the low quality content brush it might be harming my progress with it.

    Anyway, has anyone solved this problem? Is it a case of pushing backlinks specifically to these pages or doing a complete overhaul of the content and really punching the wordcount and quality up?

    Thanks,

    Without checking it manually, it won’t be possible to provide you with the required solution.

    You can dm to discuss your problem in details. If you show me the problem sharing your PC screen, I might help you out. 🙂

    Google takes time to index and will do it at his own will. If site is new, it’s more longer.

    Try sharing content link on social media and get some traffic to some of the posts.

    Do you have a sitemap? Sucks but building links will help.

    How competitive is the niche ?

    Have you tried to check manually in Search Console whether each url is indexed and requested indexing?

    Are you using the Yoast SEO plugin? Have you checked under each page what is mentioned in the advanced settings? Have you allowed the crawlers to crawl the specific page? (usually it should be set to “Yes” in default, but you can check it just to make sure.

    This means that Google has discovered the URL. (It knows it exists.) But, hasn’t crawled, rendered, and index it yet.

    You can help speed up discovery by using good internal linking, an XML Sitemap, a HTML Sitemap, and backlinks.

    You can speed up crawl, render, and indexing by limiting Javascript, but Google gets to that when it can. I’ve seen URLs indexed in hours and some take a week.

    Google can exclude results from search, and it sounds like that’s what’s happening. Does it say excluded in the column directly to the left of ‘Discovered – currently…’?

    Build links to those pages from already indexed and trusted websites. YUou’ll be fine. Happens to all of us.

    In fact, that is common case for many sites. Googlers say that it is normal, when you main pages were indexed but not all.

    ​

    The apprentice SEOs recommend you to use backlinks, sitemaps (xml, html), social media, etc. All these things work. But these things don’t solve a problem.

    We all know that Google prefer quantity, instead of quality of pages. But even Google is constrained by lack of technical capacities. So, Google has changed their search model. Now Google wants to index “unique”, “new” content. Nobody knows how Google defines uniqueness.

    SEOs of F5 Studio experiment and they’ve drawn some conclusions.

    1) Analyze site informational architecture, internal linking. Many people do the same mistake – they create a flat site architecture without understanding basic UX.

    2) Content mapping on a page.

    3) Writing style.

    4) Using “long-tail” keywords strategy in the wrong way. Google defines a long-tail query as any query that drives 10 or fewer visitors within a 30-day period. Sadly, many people think that LTK means “a lot of words around high-competitive keyword”

    5) etc.

    Anyway, you need SEO audit for your site because it could be on a lot of things.

    Can you share more about the types of posts that are not getting indexed? Are they really good?
