Asking questions is encouraged here at WA because let’s face it, if you are stuck, asking a question will help you get unstuck and expand your knowledge. That is what I try to do in my many training blogs and tutorials. Today is no different and I will be discussing 4 easy Google tips that will benefit your website building experience.
WHEN WILL GOOGLE INDEX MY WEBSITE?
Out of the hundreds of questions I have seen asked here at WA, one common question is, when will Google index my website? The answer to that question is easy, not immediately. For a new website, getting your content indexed in Google could take about a week. The more mature your website, the faster the indexing.
But as most times, people are impatient and want their content to be indexed within hours. Though this is possible you will have to initiate the process yourself by doing a Fetch as Google within your Google Search Console, formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools. For training on how to do that, see below link.
How to Get Your Content Indexed in Google Within Hours
But how can you find out if your website has been indexed by Google? This is very easy for any member of Wealthy Affiliate. In the above image is a screen shot of my Site Manager. As you can see, I have two Site Rubix websites, the one on top is NOT indexed and the bottom website IS indexed. If you want to know if your website is indexed in Google, just look at your Site Manager.
Though not as simple as just looking at your Site Manager, there is another easy way of seeing whether your website is indexed. You want to go to Google and type in the following, site:yourdomainname. Example, my domain name is legitimatejobfromhome.com. I would type into Google, site:legitimatejobfromhome.com see image below.
When typing it into Google make sure it is all one word with no spaces and there is no need for the www, http or https proceeding your domain name. Then once you click search, Google will display every page and post on your website that is indexed into Google.

No, using LSI keywords will not go against the rule of one keyword per post because they are synonyms of the target keyword.
Example, if your target keyword was Samsonite Carry-On Luggage your LSI keywords could be...
Travel Bag
Hard Shell Case
Airline Carry On
Backpack
Rolling Luggage
Google uses LSI keywords the same way they do your target keyword, to know what your content is about without you having to repeat your target keyword more than twice.
I think LSI keywords would come naturally within a well-structured and thorough content anyway, but it's wise to keep an eye on them.
It's my understanding that focus keyword should be in the title and somewhere in the first paragraph (or last?) and that would be it.
When you naturally write out your content, and being aware not to mention your target keyword beyond the first paragraph, your content will "naturally" contain LSI keywords.
Thank you, Rob. Another great Trainer bookmarked for when I get caught up and sit back with my coffee.
