What a nice surprise and cool timing!

I was reading GiuliaB's post titled "Google Indexing Tool on Site Content - It Works!" when suddenly a notification pops on my screen:

"Your website has been indexed in Google... sweet!"

Nice synchronicity, eh?

Well, thanks and sweet indeed!

I've always been one of those people that get super motivated when there are milestones to reach and achievements to earn. I remember back in my university student years, when I was playing video games like Tomb Raider, or MMO games like World of Warcraft, my friends used to make fun of my obsession with collecting badges and unlocking secret achievements.

There's just something addicting to earning an achievement! The ones you set for yourself, like accomplishing a goal you set personally, or milestones set by others in studying or performing.

Why now?

I started this website as a SiteRubix sub domain, while studying the Affiliate Bootcamp course. I was thinking that I can continue with the training on the free website, and after some time, if I was still enthusiastic about the topic and the results, I would buy a domain name and transfer my free website.

I had also read some stories of other WA members that got their free SiteRubix website ranked fast and even started earning money with it.

Well, after some posts and 5 months of sporadically following the Bootcamp training, I was still not indexed in Google. Either I was going to abandon the site and focus on my main travel website, or I would buy a domain name and transfer the free Bootcamp website and keep working on that niche.

Two days ago I checked my stats for this site on Site Manager, and my posts on Site Content, and I noticed that my individual posts on the site had been indexed!

This made me think:

"Well, a domain name costs less than 15 dollars per year anyways. And in Wealthy Affiliate, it will always cost the same price to renew it year after year (not like some other hosting providers)."

Why wait? My desired domain name was available, and maybe by the time I decided to buy it and own it, someone else would have bought it already! It's a name that really resonated with me and the direction I wanted my site to go, so I didn't hesitate anymore.

I bought the domain name!

What helped me make the decision was the feedback I received from a WA member using the Site Feedback function here. He said that he couldn't spot anything I'd need to change, except for it being a sub domain. And suggested that I should transfer it to my own domain name.

I believe that buying my own domain and transferring the free website played a role in it being indexed by Google, finally!

Ok, badge earned, now what?

Now back to the training, keyword research, producing quality content and onward to the rankings and traffic!

It's a process, and it works! Trust the process, have patience, put in the hard work and the results will surely come. Maybe not as fast as we plan for (or hope for), but it's not a race!

Always remember, slow progress is still progress!

Get your website indexed in Search Engines and reach the World!
