I Have an Admirer!
Yay, it's happened at last!
I have finally won the affections of Mr Google! And he is showing his love!
I had 5 posts indexed yesterday! Some of them I have been waiting a few weeks for! All of them came through at the same time!
I was starting to feel unloved, unwanted, left behind, doubting my ability...... he really was starting to give me a complex! But true love always finds a way and I should never have doubted.
So, the lesson learnt is..... stop being so impatient. Mr Google is very busy and has a lot of content to crawl through and he will get to you eventually and when he does, the feeling of accomplishment and happiness never dulls and the motivation injection is phenomenal! Just what I needed.
There, just a very short and sweet post.
Hope you're all having a great day! Happy writing everybody!

Hi Alex, first of all congratulations on your accomplishments. I have to kind of agree with Dave, as far as Google being female. No man can live a fulfilled life without a woman. Hence google has to be female.
Oh no, perhaps that is not politically correct, it is what it is.
We have to rely on certain things in life to make it full circle.
Wishing you continued success,
Michael
Ooh I like that reason Michael π but still not convinced! Many thanks wishing you huge success too!
Great job, Alex--but I was a little mislead by your blog title--I thought you were talking about ME! ππππ

Congrats! Your perseverance and patience have paid off!
You can speed up indexing quite a bit by setting up Google Search Console, submitting a site map, and using the Inspection Tool to request indexing on new articles as you publish them. I find it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to be indexed when using the Inspection tool.

Hi Shannon, thank you so much for your help! I already had Google Search Console but what I didn't know until a few days ago was about the Sitemap and updating it. I did this and Voila!
A few minutes!! Wow Mr Google certainly has his eye on you! LOL
Keep doing what you're doing and wish you huge success!
