How Long Is Too Long

I need some advice here.

So far all my posts have been indexed by Google. But the last one I did nearly a month ago hasnt been indexed yet. It is quite a long one with 2200 words. It is a list of things with images added. So I'm wondering if it is too long and needs to be edited down or maybe I have too many images. Anybody have any ideas?

My post I break it up a smaller sentence. And I try to make it that I am talking them no matter who reading It.

Hi Nancy, don't fret Google, likes longer posts.

Some take longer. Great length by the way. Keep posting

Sometimes some articles take a bit longer to index, that's fine.

2200 words is actually excellent. Some studies have been done that the best word length is 1800+. Visuals are great too, as long as they don't slow down your website (but I don't think it'd directly affect your index thing).

Also if you website is new, definitely give it some time. There's nothing to worry about really, as long as you follow the WA training.

Like Cristina below, I also follow Jay's SERP ranking blueprint, if you do the same, you're all good.

Hey Nancy, we are in a similar situation. Recently all our posts have been indexed within a couple of days but we still have one out there that has not been indexed for over a month. We have not used Fetch at all, so far, but we are tempted. Will give it another week or so, just as an experiment. Nobody really knows the wonderful ways of Google, that philanthropic entity out there that we all need so desperately.
Just hang in there and it will happen.

Hi Nancy, Google would accept 2200 words. Was it unique original content. Sorry had to ask. Also your images do they meet the size requirements. Google for some reason does not like too many images. All the best. Would appreciate feedback on the outcome.

I had the same thing happen on a few of my posts, for some reason Google didn't index them like the rest.

But about the time that I started getting increased organic traffic, I got a message that Google had indexed 8 of my posts in one day--all of them were the ones that hadn't been indexed months before.

I think that once my site got enough authority to start getting better rankings, Google was willing to index all of my content. Maybe that's the same thing happening on your site?

You can request google to index it. I do that for every post now and they all get indexed.

Hi Nancy
