Site Content - Catching with indexing
Hi WA Rock Stars!!!
I hope you are enjoying another productive day building your empires online. :)
Site Content
Not sure if anyone has noticed this but I feel it is important to point out to save members who use Site Content any frustration around indexing.
As you know when a post get indexed the google icon in each post in site content goes colored to let you know you have indexed the particular post.
OK, well I had a few that showed up as not indexed so I went to the Google Search console to do some checking of my own as I had asked for indexing after I had written these posts.
When I did this, Voila!! They were all indexed and yet inside Site Content, it is telling me they are not indexed.
Thought you might like to be aware of this as I was getting a little frustrated wondering why these posts with excellent keywords and over 2000 words weren't indexed and it turns out they are and a few them are ranking really well and site content was giving me the wrong message.
I guess it might time for it to catch up with the heavy work loads it has - Not sure but alls well that ends well.
Enjoy your new week ahead for those of you still on Sunday time. For me it's early Monday evening, 2 posts completed and published and I'm off to cook dinner
Go well everyone and be awesome in the week ahead
Thanks for stopping by
Has this happened to you?
Were you aware of this?
Would love to know it's not only me

Site index only picks up indexing in the first 20 pages for the search term used I believe much like rank tracking in Jaaxy. This would explain Google saying yes you are while WA is still trying to find the page.
All good Kaju
A few members have experienced this so it looks like its just site content is taking a vacation at times- lol
Enjoy your week ahead

Thanks Vicki, good to know. I can't real;y comment on this cause I don't use Site Content. I heard there were many glitches with it.
Hi Vicki,
Thanks for sharing this information! It happened with one of my posts. It was indexed by Google but Site Content showed it as not indexed. Have a great week! Much success to you!
Kind regards,
Nichola
Not just you - I currently have about 20 posts that are not shoing in site content yet are indexed. I spoke to jay about it once and he said as long as google showing indexed then all is good...
Hi Paul
Ah, so it's not just me. Good to know and it does catch up eventually :)
Thank you
Vicki
You can do it by inserting your article url into the top menu of Google Search Console and then press enter. It will then ask you to be indexed.

Hi Vicki. I worry about several aspects of site content. When I checked out the efficiency and speed of my urls and overall web site, the results came back poor. I re-entered the information only to have somewhat better reports. I then did an independent search outside of WA and the results came out excellent. I have also had issues such as yours centred around indexing. Jim
