Is My Website Good Now? I don't know, maybe you can tell me. . . . .
Hello to all my friends and families at Wealthy Affiliate,
Just thought I'd share something that I thought to be exciting . . . but then I am not really sure if it really is exciting. . . .! Maybe you all can tell me if it's something to get excited about as I am not an expert!
For some reason on 72/21, Friday, I thought of googling my website on Google and Bing. First, on Google, I searched my website, and what came up as the first one was my website. First on the list and on page 1. What also appeared are some of my articles that appeared like separate websites. It was interesting to me. Then it continued on the 2nd page. From that search, it also picked up my Instagram. I was very surprised!
Then I search my website on Bing, and it also appeared as the first but only two of the blog posts appeared after my website. Can't remember if it has happened before as it has been several months when I tried the search before.
Last week, on Sunday, I googled my website because I wanted to buy the product I promote as the company gives me a commission every time I buy through my website. When I do that the WordPress logo appears before the name of my website. I wasn't happy every time it does because Google knows it's me searching. Well, Friday evening was entirely different.
Also, during this week, I checked the activities of my website on Google Search Console, Before doing so, I clicked one of my sites on the top left as there were two, even tho' I have only one website. So, I saw some movements on the performance graphs that I never saw before. . . just because of not clicking at the right spot! So now I know what I have not been doing correctly. I missed so many live classes before that I am ignorant of the basics of Google. For months, I thought my Google Search Console is not working for me . . . but it has been. I was not using it correctly! So now that I know people visit my website, I will continue to improve my website as it does need it. My positive experience this past week is encouraging me to do more blog articles. I just finished a new one and published it. Also, I started to do YT and at the same time, my YT advertises my website. It is helping! I saw one good spike on my performance graph for the month of June.
So my question to you guys is, do you think my website landed on page 1 of Google and Bing? Can you tell by my above description of what I saw? I tried to get a screenshot but it's too big as the info on my website, was on Page 1 and Page 2.
So if you guys are thinking of having a YT channel, by all means, do it! It will help your website!
As always, I would like to thank you all for all of the help you give, knowledge, and experience that you share all the time. They help me to continue and push through and keep working and I know it is true too to a lot of you who are also learning. Moreover, I decided to do my WA work and YT during the day and not late at night. I function better! Also, the biggest project that I focused on for the last two years and looming over my head, is finally complete and can move on to the next big step that will bring great happiness to everyone in my family.
Take care all! Stay well and be happy always
Cheers,
Evelyn

If you search incognito then Google will not have known you were looking and will have shown it in its true position.

Evelyn, as others have said an incognito search will give you a truer picture! If you use a PC, top right hand corner are three dots, click on that, then click on Incognito! Best success!

Thank you, Jeff. Will try search incognito.
I hope you get the answer you want when you do, Evelyn!
