My Fickle Friend Google Index
Hi WA family. Hope everyone is doing well, staying safe and healthy.
First I was afraid even petrified thinking about how Google was doing me wrong, not indexing my posts. But today the 1st of February was good news.
My feelings before today.
They had had me hanging on a swing like a little puppy dog.
The likeness is uncanny I know. Twas the end of December and going into late January. I kept writing posts and they were not being indexed.
What was I doing wrong was my first thought, I searched my SEO, asked for help but alas the mighty G was paying me no attention.
Yes, I am not sure if I was screaming out at Google or screaming at myself. This feeling of desperation had overcome me, and I decided well what is the point of me writing a post(s) if they were not being indexed
Heck no! Like everyone else here I am on this journey of success. Ain't nothing going to break me down, I will sail my ship through the storms.
WA is the lighthouse that keeps me going in the right direction.
All of you, my WA family helped me steer my vessel to calmer waters.
OK, so where is this all going. It is all about never giving up. Whether your posts are getting indexed or not, please keep writing. Today I found out a few of my posts were indexed, and yes it did make me feel good.
Patience, Patience, and then some more Patience.
Here is what was found in Google on February 01, 2021:
Home Remedies Colic Babies
Natural Care Home Remedies
Does Sugar Affect Your Health
Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms Treatment
Difference Between Acne Rosacea
Signs Symptoms Diabetic Neuropathy
Features Positive Mental Health
Well, that is seven articles.

This is an awesome community and I am very glad to be a part of it. Thank you so much.

That's great news Michael, I'm so happy for you.
Mr G seems to have a habit of behaving in this manner from time to time.
I, and I'm sure many others here have had this experience. You are so right, patience is what's needed at times like these.
Just keep doing what you are doing, create those quality articles and success will be yours my friend!
I'm glad that fickle Google (i won't say friend) finally indexed some of your posts, Michael! Your patience has paid off!

Hi Simone, thank you. Actually, it was a feeling of relief. I was sure I was doing something wrong.
Michael
I'm really sorry you had to experience that feeling
Now you can put it behind you and celebrate your well deserved success!
Google is fickle Michael, its best to continue on and ignore it.
Every so often it has a blip and tells me one of my sites has a problem, things to close together etc. Now I just click on validate fix, without doing anything and it eventually comes back as fine. Never anything wrong in the first place.
Hi Linda, I was getting worried there with none of my posts getting indexed. Appreciate your comment. Thank you.
All the best,
Michael

I have managed to remove all thoughts of indexing from the front of my mind, nothing new goes into the back of it, so I don't need to worry about that.
It does mean that when I get a notification telling me I have been indexed, it comes as pleasant surprise, in an 'I had forgotten all about those' kind of way.
Some say that patience is a virtue, I suppose they might have something there.
Hi Twack, it took over a month to get these posts indexed. I still have some waiting in the wings. Happy for now. Appreciate your comments.
All the best,
Michael
It does seem to be random sometimes, as there are those who have had their posts indexed within the hour😲.
