A Slight Concern About Siterubix
I'm fairly positive that this niggle is just me overthinking but I am little concerned.
Usually, when I purchase a TLD through WA, it gets indexed pretty swiftly, 1, perhaps 2 days but my new Siterubix property has yet to be indexed (according to the SiteManager report).
So, I went to Google and I typed in the following query
inurl:.siterubix.com (that's dot siterubix dot com)
hoping that I'd get a stream of sites returned and all will be well. I got....
Crickets
Nothing, no website out there with a URL that ended in .siterubix.com - Did I put the wrong query into the box or does Google just take forever to index sub-domains - indeed, does it EVER index them, let alone rank them?
Have any of your siterubix sites ever shown up on the SERPs?
I'd love to know
Update - I was using the wrong search query in that I had missed out the colon - phew! It does work, the sites do get indexed and ranked - happy boy!

I started a site rubix website Dom and it got indexed very fast despite very little on there.
Only took a couple of days. I hadn't realised I hit publish so had to unpublish.
Hi Linda.
That's because Google knows you.
Peace, love, and light, sunshine.
It is nice to be in touch with you again.

Hi Linda - apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I think Paul is right, you have a large online presence and thus, you are being watched by the SEs.
Wherreas I haven't and this I'm not - but.. that WILL change.
Thank you for your comment though, much appreciated
Thank you, I did not know that and do not consider my online presence to be that big at all. I just happened to have been online a long while.
I have the same challenge a siterubix is very hard to get indexed vs a purchased domain name.
Thank you for your share.

unless you are very sure of your niche i would stick with a site rubix until i get 15-20 articles and if still interested then be looking at the change over to .com...keep looking for the name you want ...experiment and play with words that are brandable and memorable...and don't forget the tagline...
I am aware how to go with a niche, I am just finding hard to get a siterubix site indexed.
Normally a dot com does get indexed in a couple of weeks or less if it has no posts at all.
Tagline noted, thanks.
my last test site was indexed with me doing nothing in less than 48 hours ..frustrating as i didn't want it indexed and forgot to tick the box in settings....
i assumed you were aware but with newer accounts you never know....
you could always add it to your search console and add the site map - normally works ...
or add a url to the inspection tool
my site doesn't have a site map yet and no all in one activated...
How do you do it Phil? Do you always add your siterubix to GSC or submit a sitemap?
By the sounds of it, you don't
I have 1 siterubix site that is over 1 year old, has 39 posts on it and 4 legal pages - no indexing and you have 1 site, no content and indexing in 48 hours.
I call Google sucks !! :)
i think it may be luck of the draw....
but i would go through the motions for the site that is not indexed...add the sitemap, url inspection, google analytics
and make sure there is nothing blocking the search engines...
i know there is one tick box under settings in your dashboard that is to reduce your chances of being indexed....so worth chrecking that you are not preventing it....
but there will be a reason...
most sites will be indexed, but not all will be ranked....
if you want me ot have a quick look then pm me....
have you checked with gachecker.com whether your analytics is on the site....
i tend to use the operator
site:.siterubix.com
and get over 78,000 sites listed with hte siterubix extension...
they do get indexed and rank
the main problem may be getting affilaite programs to take you seriously with the subdomain....

Got it - 49K results (my Google.com is set for just US results so it'll be lower) but happy to see it does happen! Phew!

Hey Dom, slight issue is with how you performed your search.
Try searching for:
site:siterubix.com
You'll find what you're looking for :)

Thank you Carson :)
Ah! I missed the colon - brilliant! Thank you Carson - much appreciated
