No Love From Google Lately Feeling Frustrated! Bing and Yahoo Coming Through!
Hey there everyone in Wealthy Affiliate!
It is noon time here on Saturday Aug 7th. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their weekend.
It has been nearly a week since I blogged on the platform, expressing my excitement in receiving commissions for publishing training tutorials on the WA training platform.
Throughout the week, I have been writing and publishing articles for my websites and in doing so have become aware that Google has not indexed or ranked many of my recent articles yet. I am very frustrated with the NON-LOVE Google has been showing me lately. I will definitely be going into the Google Search Console this week to try to determine the reason for said NON-LOVE from Google recently.
However, I have noticed a great deal of LOVE from Bing and Yahoo instead. I sometimes wonder how Bing and Yahoo rank my articles when Google hasn't even indexed them yet.
No matter! I am still grateful that they are being ranked so well, if not on Google.
Today I would like to share with you four of my recent articles that were ranked by Bing and Yahoo and one by Google, for which I am excited.
Design Pickle Review 2021 - Bing and Yahoo - Page 1, Position 4
The Secret of Affiliate Marketing - Bing - Page 1, Position 1
Deciding To Adopt A Rescue Dog - Bing and Yahoo - Page 1, Position 1
My TruDog Review 2021 - Bing - Page 1, Position 1, Google - Page 1, Position 4, and Yahoo - Page 1, Position 1
When you work hard on something you are deeply passionate about, you look forward to someone or something appreciating your work. I am disappointed and frustrated with Google that they haven't indexed many of my recent articles, but as I mentioned, I am determined to get to the bottom of the reason.
In the meantime, I will just continue to write quality content to post on my sites and hope for the best.
Do you get frustrated when Google doesn't show you any love?
How do you handle the seemingly rejection by Google?
Have a great weekend!

Google doesn't seem to love me either, Barbara. It usually takes weeks for one of my articles to get indexed.
Some of my latest articles come up on page one of Yahoo when I type in the keyword incognito, but nothing in Google.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I've read how newbies often get confused about their articles ranking.
I rarely check Bing in Jaxxy.
Google Search Console says I have no clicks to my website, only impressions.
Partha says to just keep writing lol

Hey, Barbara. I really feel you with the frustration. I have had 2 of my last 7 articles indexed by Google, where the previous twenty-some articles were indexed sometimes the same day I posted them, but never more than 4 days after. I have come to believe that I am their enemy, and am looking for other ways. I have been kicked off of several autoresponders, with no explanation, off of Facebook advertising, and now off of PayPal, all with NO EXPLANATION.
Free speech is a thing of the past, clearly.
I say this not to whine about it, but as, hopefully, some consolation for you. I think you are in a niche where you are under far less scrutiny by the powers that be (tell me if I'm wrong) than "natural health and wellbeing", as I am.
Also, I'm thinking maybe there is some other reason Google is being so slow with the indexing--like maybe other people are experiencing this, as well, and it is just something not to be concerned about? Just a thought...
Hi Barbara!
Many congratulations on your recent rankings in Yahoo and Bing!
I'm so happy for you!
Google ranking will surely follow my friend, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Keep churning out quality content for your sites and the Google love will appear before you know it!
Enjoy your weekend my friend!:-)
Thank you very much Nick!
I'm not so much worried as I am frustrated.
I'll keep writing and publishing and not be so concerned with Google for now.
It's really good to hear from you.

We are still here in Geneva my friend!!
Must be nearly two months now! I hope to get back home next weekend or maximum, the weekend after. Then, around the 10th of September we go to Spain again for a couple of weeks!
But all is fine thanks, I took the end of the week off to paint my sister in laws apartment here, now she has decided the original colour she chose is not to her liking, so, I could be spending a lot more time painting next week as well!!
I hope you are both well there and having a great weekend. :-)
The internet my friend, I can teach from anywhere, although now I am working more in admin for my teachers.
Oh, I see. I didn't realize you taught online. That's great! That explains why you can travel around so much.
Sorry to hear that, Sis, but as I have asserted before, Google is a fickle woman, IMHO!

I try not to perturb myself too much with G. I prefer to make sure I write good quality, keyword aligned content that my audience is interested in. I will check GSC but not stress about it if the content is not promoted as fast as I would like. Have faith Barb you write well and I am sure Mr. G will soon come and award you as he normally does.
Mr. G's ears must have been ringing after my blog yesterday, because within hours, 3 articles were indexed.
