Here is my site. I occasionally add new category pages (using WordPress) and just launched this page with keywording in Yoast plugin. I then used Google Fetch to get it indexed quicker. However, I cannot even find it in the index using the main search term (police cartoons). Anything I did wrong? Or any way to find if it is even in the index by now?

      Yukon: Yes, it has been indexed. However, by using search terms within the Google search like "police cartoons", it doesn't appear anywhere on one, two three or page 5 or.....just wondering why that is? This was 3 or 4 days ago or more. Just after launching it, I used that fetch tool in webmaster tools to list it to also hopefully get it in the results quicker. Anything you can see that I did wrong?
      Btw, right around that same time I launched this page and it 's main search term "grain cartoons" puts it almost at top of first results page and I followed same procedure....seo-ing in Yoast, hash tagging in "editing" tool for Yoast plus listing the grain page in fetch tool and it looks like it worked great for that specific page.

        theres more competition for police cartoons than grain cartoons?
        if only it was so easy to get on page 1 that you just make a page wait a couple days.

          gnojham: my simple assumption was not much variation between the two (grain cartoons to police) So still am not sure why the police one cannot even be seen on 1 or page 5 or where ever it is....that is the mystery. I did alot of tagging in the Yoast plugin, not to mention use the keywording feature plus write a decent description for that particular page (police, I mean). I do not certain expect any page to show up in Google but then we have these wonderful tools (like Yoast) and then we have our own rerspective knowledge of seo (which I always use when writing) that we implement and undertake.That should count for something....like how I got "grain" almost at top of first results page. Alot of mystery to Google I think.....

        You're ranking #59 on Google SERPs for the keyword police cartoons with the page/URL below:
        • danscartoons.com/category/police-cartoons

        I don't see a problem. Looks like you need to do SEO like everyone else.

            I used the free Rank Checker Firefox plugin. It works fine for checking a few keywords but be careful, Google will do a temporary IP block If you start blazing through keywords. Adjust the delay between queries on the plugin options.

            If Google happens to do a temp. IP block just reset your modem & clear browser history/cache, takes about 1 or 2 minutes (no big deal).

    theres no mystery. theres no competition for grain cartoons. assuming you did everything the same for both pages, the difference is the competition. im just a noob though, so wait for somebody with real experience to explain.
