Bug at Google Indexing or Fault with my site?

My new blog post used to get indexed within a minute or two, then, a month back it started taking few hours, now it's taking more than 24 hours or more and most of them don't index at all. Even if they do they are in specific counties. Sometimes I see my posts rank for the wrong keyword. There is no issue with the posts from 15 days back - no ranking drop whatsoever.

It's just the new posts that don't get indexed and all kinds of problems. In the search console, it says indexed, but they don't appear in the search. Sometimes they appear and then in the next search, they are gone.

Can someone help, please?

    This is because your website is new and doesn't have any inbound links. First, create an account on Google webmaster tools. When you register and point Google to your sitemap. xml URL you can request them to re-crawl your URLs. todaygoldrateinhyderabad

      It's not a new website. It's a 2 years old website with 2000 indexed blog posts.

          The traffic is above 200K. There are some duplicate content, but not from outside. In-site duplicate content exists; however, the pages with duplicate content rank very well in Google. It's the unique content that's taking longer to index.

    Nothing wrong with ~24hrs - thats normal and common; consider yourself lucky that you were previously getting indexed in a few minutes.

      When you post a lot of content in a day regularly, Google indexes your new posts in minutes. It's the same with thousands of websites in my niche.

    Google just optimizing their expenses.
    Improve internal and external links to your blog posts, and dont forget to index your backlinks too with any working indexer.

    It could be due to the new update that was rolled out by Google. Study the algo update and their evaluate your SEO practices. May be that can help.

      The only issue with the site was speed, which is now addressed, but the problem remains. Some posts get indexed within an hour, some take a few hours, while others more than 24 hours. Everything is so random to determine a cause-and-effect scenario.

  • There is no problem with this. Google has changed indexing rules for all users. Now it takes at least 15 days. If you want to get an index soon then you can request indexing by going to Google Webmaster.
