Maria, do not beat yourself up at all.

For me, what is most important is to remember to link the new article to older ones.
That way it gets some "Google Juice" right out the gate.

Once you are writing blog posts consistently, your indexing will come.
I no longer go into GSC to request indexing.

Ok, so first off.

There is absolutely no need for you to go to search console and request indexing. You are getting indexed quickly, which means Google understands your layout and intent and likes the frequency rate of your posts.

Second, the social media thing is likely something we all should be doing as long as we don't let social media become to much of a time sink. Just for the alternate traffic it offers, and backlinks as well although they will be no follow.

I caution folks about using the site comments. I'm wary of sharing my website location here. I learned this practice in self publishing. All it takes is one or a few unhinged folks deciding to target you for real or imagined slights and you've shown them exactly where to go to be a problem.

It's quite common for self published authors to write under pen names and never share them publicly even in writing groups for this reason.

If you do the social media you'll likely do better on comments anyway as the folks seeing it are likely seeing your link because they were interested in the topic/subject. Those comments will be far more on target which could be the impetus for real discussion. If you can encourage actual discussions in your comment section you have some gold right there.


Hope you're having a great day.

Regards,

Jason

It looks like you are getting all of your answers here, Maria!

Have a great one!

Hi Maria, the part about SiteComments is in the OEC lessons. Internal links are in Jay’s training and also in some OEC lessons. Everything Eric did came from WA Training. He applied most of the training learned from this platform to his online business.

Thats what we all must apply the training taught by Kyle and the expert classes. If miss a step thats fine go back and make sure do them. Simple as that.

Now, you know. Sometimes I go back and look at the training or watch the expert classes and Jay’s class he did a lot of training over the years about internal and external linking, his last few Friday nights class has a cheatsheet for SEO. You can find the class at class dashboard.

Hi, Maria

No Worries. 😎

As Diane indicated, the Google bot will automatically crawl each post and decide if it wants to index it.

Requesting indexing in GSC and Bing Webmaster Tools can speed up the indexing process, but you’re already doing what’s most important. Namely, good keyword research and creating excellent content.

Keep on Rockin’ 🤘

Sorry for that Candle, I have the same problem. Moreover, I found out that the antivirus in my Laptop is not allowing my posts to be published.
