Hello,
For those of you experts who have been doing this for awhile, I am finding that my post get indexed by Google sometimes within minutes after posting it. Is this a
Hey Mike!
I’m no expert, but yep—getting indexed that fast is definitely a good sign! It means Google trusts your site, your content is solid, and your SEO is working. Quick indexing is great, but the real test is how well your posts rank over time. Keep an eye on that, and you’re golden!
Hope that helps!

Thank you for your remarks. Yes, I am still doing the "Google Dance" with where I rank. One day I am up in the top 10 and the next day I am at # 60. Kyle says this is quite common and my site is only about 7 months old from the start so I have a ways to go. Mike
That's awesome to hear! Three months ago, I was nowhere near where you are now—I had more indexing issues than I could count. So getting indexed like that is a huge win! It means more opportunities are coming your way. Great job!
Thanks Shawn,
Quite a while ago, the person who calls herself, "TheCatherine" said she asks Google to index her new posts. I started doing that and I am not sure if it made them more aware of me but now, like I said, they index my posts extremely fast.
I have another site where I make a line of handmade rustic lamps and that is through Wix. I went through that entire site and many of the pages that had been there for over a year were not indexed. I have asked them all to be indexed and Google got right on it.

On your Wix site, be sure to add your site map to Google Search Console. This also helps in indexing; it assists Google in understanding your site and structure.
Hey Mike, that's awesome to hear! It’s amazing how a small step like requesting indexing can make such a big difference. Google definitely seems to appreciate that extra nudge! Your rustic lamps sound really cool too—handmade pieces always have that special touch. Wishing you continued success with both of your sites!
Thank you Shawn,
Yes, my handmade business, called Clearwater Cabin Lighting, does fairly well and I also have a window washing business.
What niche is your website(s). I see you are in the top 50 of contributors so I assume you have been here awhile?
Thank you for the encouragement.

Hey Mike,
That’s awesome to hear about Clearwater Cabin Lighting—handmade businesses have such a unique and personal touch, and it’s great that it’s doing well! Running a window washing business too? That’s impressive—having multiple streams of income is always a smart move.
I have three websites on the go here—one in affiliate marketing, one focused on my passion, and one that’s more of a hobby. I’m taking a different approach with my niche since they’re a bit out of this world, but that’s what keeps things exciting!
Nope, I’ve actually only been here 10 months so far, but I plan on sticking around for the long haul. Loving the journey and the community here.
Wishing you continued success with both of your businesses!

Thanks, Mike! Yep, three sites means there's never a dull moment! Keeps me busy, but I love the grind

There are two main parts to this.
Indexing means your post has been found on the web, which is great to hear you got indexed quickly so well done on that.
The other part is ranking, here is where the real magic happens as your aim is to get your post on page 1 of the search engines.

Hello,
I have 7 Amazon sales and today I got a letter saying I have not fulfilled by obligation too get 3 sales. They told me I have 90 days to get the 3 sales.
There is a caveat to sales. If they determine your sales originated from yourself, close friends or immediate family, they do not count. This happened to me when I started and was trying to get approved.
