  • When you go for SEO for any website, then website take time to optimize your website for the search engines. If your website is new and you have a few articles on it, then you need to do continued SEO work on it. This way, your website will appear on Google.

    To appear in rankings it would at least take 3-4 months to appear in Google SERPS.

      The last update I had was that it takes at least 2 years for a website to appear on Page 1 of Google.

        The amount of time before a page appears on the first SERP page is determined by 2 factors:

        1. Keyword competitiveness and

        2. The SEO done for that page.

        Skilled people who have sufficient resources get on page 1 the day the page is indexed for easy and medium keywords.
        Yes, that can mean 1 to 3 days after the page is published.

        They can get there with difficult keywords in weeks if they are willing to spend the resources.

        You really cannot give a time frame without knowing the keywords.

        Every keyword and keyword phrase has a unique set of competition.
        If you misspell a word, then that misspelled word will rank #1 in minutes if it is unique.
        The more popular a keyword, the longer it takes to beat out all the competition.

    Hey oday,
    You have to wait for 8 to 10 days to get indexing of your website. Because without indexing in Google it is impossible to appear your website in google search

        Hey oday,

    It is normal but not necessary.

    The world is full of people who blog but do not do proper SEO.

    How do I know you did not do proper SEO? You do not appear in the top 50 spots for any of your keywords and you talk about posting a lot.

    Posting a lot will eventually get you to show up for some keywords 8n the top 30.

    Why not just learn on page SEO and offpage SEO.

    Mikehende started a thread a few weeks ago... Covered on page SEO. Look it up.

    For offpage SEO, look up www.backlinko.com for his skyscraper technique and keyword research and Clay McPeace for silo structures for SEO.

        Two likely reasons:

        You chose very competitive keywords or

        Your on page SEO is not as good as you think.

    Although it varies, it seems to take as little as 4 days and up to 6 months for a site to be crawled by Google and attribute authority to the domain. When you publish a new blog post, site page, or website in general, many factors determine how quickly it will be indexed by Google.
    However, the website needs time to be ranked on google. You must have your competitor analysis against your primary keywords and check their articles. Your articles must be unique and optimized. The number of words also matters in ranking. Your article must be equal to or more than your competitor's article and keywords must be optimized in your article.

        If you're running wordpress sites, the Yoast plugin will help you improve results, if you're a beginner. But it's not great.


        You're better off analyzing the top 3 pages for any keyword and see what they did. Then do the same.

    That is normal. Your title is unique so you will rank #1 for that phrase. If somebody published the same title, they will rank #2 because your was first. If you are looking for the keyword "Diamonds" then there are 2 million pages that will rank first. The same for your keywords, the more common the keyword, the more pages will rank in front of your page. Another ranking factor is traffic. If you write an article about "The Ukraine" it will rank well sooner becasue people will read it more. They might read a newsy story much more than one about "Ukrane crops" or maybe not. If you post an article about "Ukraine crops" it might rank very high very fast. It all depends on the competition.

    Clarification needed - are you referring to the site in your profile? If so, the site is not in English ...not sure how that affects the advice given above.

        To really make money, you need to place in the top 3 spots. If the top 3 are tough, it's not relevant how weak the other ones are.


        If Google has indexed your pages and you're not showing up in results, it's because Google thinks your SEO is not good enough.



        Google ranks on top lousy content that is well SEO'ed.


        I once ranked a page that had nothing but the keyword as the title at the top (difficulty of 5 out of 10). I had more and/or better backlinks than the competitors.


        Tools that give you the difficulty of keywords do it for ads or, if they do it for SEO, they do it by considering all the results (or all the results on page 1).


        If the top 3 spots have great SEO and the rest have lousy, the tool will tell you that the competition is weak. But, usually, that means nothing. Because the ones that count are the 3 at the top. And for keywords with low searches, the one at the top.


        You keep not liking the idea that your SEO is not good enough. But the very fact that you talk about Tools to improve your SEO says you're not that good. And the fact that you're not in the top 3 positions for your chosen keywords says your SEO for the pages on this site is not good enough for the keywords you've chosen.


        Time to improve your SEO.


        There are a lot of threads on this forum about that, with most posts being worthless. But there are some that are good. Read them.

    2-5 months for new sites to appear in Top. You need post of your site daily for google index
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[11704867].message }}

      Or you could post once and do SEO and be number one in days.

      Or you could post twice and do SEO and be number 1 for 2 or more keywords in days

      The part that gets you to the top 8s the SEO.

      It is also the part that keeps you there the longest.

      I have done both, for the same keywords (different sites).

      Your way did not get me in the top 3 for any of the good keywords. And 2 months after I stopped posting, traffic died down.

      My way, I got in the top 3 for a few keywords and stayed in page 1 for 9 years, without me doing additional SEO and adding content (12 posts) in year 7.

      Years 7, 8 and 9, I was #7 or 8 most of the time for my main keyword and I had a bunch of lesser keywords in the top spot.

      Prior years, except 1, I was #2 to 4, for my main keyword and had a bunch of #1.

      The variations of my main keywords we're do to bursts if SEO on the part of my main 2 rivals.

    As you published your site 3 weeks ago, it's still pretty early to come with any kinds of conclusions here, as it usually take between 2 to 4 month for some keywords to get ranked, as algorithms didn't even manage to crawl all your pages and detect all phrases you are targeting there. So, I wouldn't be worried just yet, at this point I would say that you need to patient and wait to see how things will develop, and my suggestion here would be not to change anything for at least some time as that can slow down this process even more. I believe that in about month from now you should see some keywords ranked, and if that doesn't happen then you can think about making some changes, but I would be patient for some time.

    There is no specific time for your website to appear in Google search results. Focus on your target audience and take advantage of the low competitive keywords or specific keywords for your website pages. This will take time and long duration in process but worth it in the long run.

    According to my experience time varies from niche to niche. For a low competitive niche it takes from 2 to 3 months and for a highly competitive niche it takes from 3 to 6 months

    This is not a google problem - your site is indexed but there are only 5 articles....such as

    benefits of pomegranate
    benefits of avocado
    benefits of cinnamon
    etc

    Without changing my own setting I can't search keyword results in Arabic...but in English there are 346 MILLION results for avocado and 328 million results for garlic.

    You have 3 category pages listed but they repeat the same 5 article titles on each page.

    i am planning to post 1-2 articles every week.
    The site is the same today as it was two weeks ago when you started this thread. Five articles and that's it. You are focused on SEO and on what Google is doing...

    You are looking for keywords and long tail and SEO....but you have thin content. I don't care what you do - or what people here are saying - you are not going to rank well in Google without sufficient content on your site.

    Just my opinion - but I've built and ranked a lot of sites and what I would be doing right now is adding content daily.

    Just went to you site after translating it to English. Then went and click on the Headers four times. The following things are bad. (Don't take this personally, just fix them.)

    The Diet Page - No pictures or posts nothing there to keep someone on your site.

    Your Health Page - One picture of a leg with the phrase "Get Rid of Cellulite Naturally " The picture is off to the right. Nothing next to on the left side. Again no content! ( Fix these or remove them for now )

    After seeing those to pages. Why should anyone stay on your site, it lacks content ? What are the reason for seeing these pages ? Unless you correct this and what the two prior posters have said. Your not going to rank at all. Their are not reasons viewers should stay on your site

    For the other Head links

    Now to Food Benefits okay it is a start. After clicking it took a few seconds to load this page "Spagol Benefits And Side Effects" Load speed will need to be addressed. After fixing the pages above.

    Main page is Identical to Food Benefits ???

    You cannot use a non-English language site in your signature. MODS have deleted that link more than once and you re-add it.


    You have the link in your profile and that's ok but only English language sites in signatures.

    It seems like you are looking to rank your website even though you have already done the SEO work. Great decision going with WordPress site, based on my experience or my experience with clients, you should keep in mind the following points:
    Google algorithms use the information gathered to work out if,
    where and against which search terms your pages will be placed.
    It considers:
    - Page title
    - Meta description
    - Page URL
    - Heading (h1)
    - Page content
    - Text links

    To answer your question, how soon will I see results?
    - SEO is about taking a strategic approach and that will take time to deliver results
    - Evaluate key web page performance every 4-6 weeks
    - Don't change your page titles and descriptions until you've allowed time for Google to act on them

    I am interested to learn more about your business model?

    I hope this helps!
