Wordpress site posts not indexing as fast

7 years ago

It could very well be that Google isn't picking stuff up as quickly and that they may have a slower crawl rate for your site. I remember when we could get things indexed in 15 minutes!

I'd definitely suggest posting all new articles immediately to Google+. There is no faster way that I know of for Google to immediately see your post.

I'd also think about reaching out to these music related news sites and see if there is some method you can use to get new posts immediately in front of their noses. If nothing else, hit them up on every major social network, which I'm sure you are posting to immediately, right?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, as soon as we post them, we send directly to them.. they dont always pick them up to repost.. Lately it seems like if i do that, they dont bother posting it..its weird..

you are right though. I remember wrhen stuff was getting picked up instantly. Not sure about google+ I have never used it. I will have to read up on it. I thought google+ was just a failed attempt at google trying to latch onto social media world? but yeah, i post everything right to social media as well.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you have use ping url. Ping Url is a process by which you can inform Search Engines that you have updated content in your Website. Pinging will help your website getting indexed fast and will increase your backlink

Manually, you mean? I know I get linkbacks from other wordpress sites who link me and vice versa.. Or do you mean putting in site urls below the "Update Services" in Settings > Writing in dashboard? or a plugin?

Thanks

Do a site:domain.com search and change the Date on the search results to the last day/week...

Do you see any new post you've made recently, assuming you've made recent post.

Add the xml sitemap URL to your robots.txt file, then submit the robots.txt file to Google Console.

Sitemap code for robots.txt file:

Code:

Sitemap: http://domain.com/my-sitemap.xml

This way you'll know Google is looking at the xml sitemap and everything in the future will automatically be processed after each new post.

Ok. Will try that.. My sitemap XML url is

domain.com//sitemap.xml

and i have done a test on the console, so i know its reading it and i can see it if i go to that link directly in browser.. but if i go onto my server via FTP, I dont see that sitemap.xml in root of site?. Should I? I would think so. I remember a few yrs ago, i used to have that and a backup of it listed. At least i think i did

Thanks

I'd suggest to ping every url of your newly posted articles. Use every social media and you can use a social media autoposter so as soon as you make any post it'll be automatically posted on all social media. Thanks :-)

man.. now i am really scratching my head.. On my server via FTP. I don't have a robots file in the public_html root.. Just like the sitemap.xml file i dont see either, but the google console.. I can view it manually via the browser and see both files

Gonna go do what you suggested with that, in just a few

Thanks

btw..my sitemap URL is in my robots.txt file thats online.. even though there wasnt one in my server root.. i just put one in there a min ago..

but no sitemap.xml is in my root, even though its online and pointing to root. I guess i can go generate a new one and put it on server

Something else to consider is backlinks can help get Google bot to revisit your pages. The best backlinks in this case are backlink pages that are constantly recached (revisited) hourly/daily.

So... a backlink on a page like the WF Home page (example) would constantly send Google bot to your own page/s. Look for backlink pages that are constantly recached.

Example, Warrior Forum Home page is recached multiple times per day.

Ok. Thanks. I do have some interviews with Musicians that consistantly get alot of traffic each day. Is that what you mean?? . A couple years ago i had a bigger team of writers and was pushing out alot of interviews and CD reviews..So it was getting a lot more traffic plus stuff was going to google quicker. My goal is to get it back to that volume

Theses were my traffic stats as of April 2014.. Right now its about half of that due to a few friends that were helping out became Ill or didnt have time. Right now its just 2 of us..

Thanks

Check your xml sitemap and make sure the change frequency isn't set to weekly or monthly.
