Am I missing something or is this a red flag

I think I might be doing something wrong though not sure what it is I'm not doing right. I thought about changing my niche to something else because of my moral belief but recieved wonderful encouragement from some people in this community and decided to keep what I already have instead to always try to make my point clear on what my post is about and stay clear of anything that might be harmful or misleading to others.

To my greatest surprise, none of my posts on CBD oil has been indexed in google or anyother search engines. That was a surprise to me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I use Jaxxy to find keywords with good search result. Even after posting, my post seems to reach the same set of commenters each time. Some of the comments I found very hard to keep but just have to for the sake of not offending or killing moral. I like giving everyone a fair chance no matter whom you are. Though I know that some of the comments were not good enough but has to approve anyway, some after editing myself.

Does this mean that my posts never even leave the backyard of the back office or something? Seems to me like I have been writing for personal consumption.

Please any idea on how to make this work for me? What are the dos and don'ts that I need to observe or that I am missing? I truly want to do this online marketing thing but seems like I lack what is required to make a successful online business.

Please send your suggestions and comments to help me stay here otherwise there won't be any need wasting time and money and effort.

I want to be part of the community and I want to succeed by making a living doing what I do here.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks

I am not sure the reasons why it has not been indexed, but I published an article on cannabis and it did get indexed. Do not see why CBD oil should be a problem.

I appreciate that and that has been my concern and question as well.

Geez, I wish I could help, but I have no idea why other than maybe CBN, isn't something that they want posts on. I dunno know. Hope someone can help you through, I would be interested in knowing as well.
Good luck

I live and work in Colorado. I can assure you that Google does index information about all forms of cannabis.

I've done tons of research on the topic due to the number of real estate properties in my area that have greenhouses and/or indoor cultivation facilities that were set up for cannabis.

You simply need to add Google Search to your website and Google analytics. Click on the Live Event tab on the left hand side of your screen. Jay has has some recent training that will walk you through the installation.

Then after several days, you should be able to go to Google Search console and see your posts even if people are not clicking on them - IF their are people searching for keywords in your post.

Your problem is more likely related to your CBD content not having enough quality or you having enough authority to compete against the countless people that are flocking to promoting CBD oil products.

While at the same time, lots of people would never take the time to search online for a CBD oil online because it is readily available from friends, neighbors and countless retail shops, vape shops and marijuana dispensaries here in Colorado. I think about the vape shop because every time I look outside my shops window, I see CBD oil signs, flags and banners at the Vape shop across the street.

Maxine gave you some great advise also.

Best wishes.

p.s. I am NOT a fan of the niche because too many people have flocked to it thinking they can make money with it online and offline.

Thanks, much appreciated. I have my about me in google and privacy policy things I do not want to be in google but not my posts, so not sure how that happened.

Marijuana is illegal in many countries (regardless of which variety you are using). Try reaching out to other CBD oil promoters to see how they get around this issue. There is probably a Facebook & reddit group on this exact topic.

Hi Regina,

I have found your site. It is filled with 22 categories of infomation.

Also noticed that you have posts from various niches on one site.

Maybe MMO niche on health site could be a problem.

Did you submit a sitemap? Is your dot org property verified?

Check on these things.

Maxine



Thanks for your suggestions. Do you think that adds should be avoided when writing about health topics or links to marketing sites removed?

Great question Regina.

Think about it, health and marketing are not relevant topics.

You have great content for both areas on your indexed website.

Where does your authority lie? Health or Affiliate marketing?

Maybe the footprints are confusing the engines because it is a health site.

Not only that CBD discussions are very controversial but you can rank on 1st page with low competitive keywords and quality content.

No biggie there, just realty.

I would separate them. Try to promote WA and those other affiliate programs in a MMO website.

I feel you will get better results.

Make sure that your site has a sitemap.THEN, fetch with Google all of your articles. They will be indexed.

Take it one ask at a time: xml sitemap and fetch as Google.

Here's a link to help you out. Click on it. The first training by Alenka: How to SEO - It's Easy! You can go to number 10 for Fetch as Google.

Make it a great day, my friend.

Blessings always

Type site:yourwebsiteurl into Google Search and see what happens.

That will answer your question.

Cheers.

Hello my friend,

I have taken the time to look at each of your 5 WA blogs to gather information.

You appear to be having some issues with your niche.

PM your llnk and I will see what I can help with?

This has gone on too long.

Maxine :-))!

I did PM you Maxine and thanks for your concern for me.

Oops! Somehow I missed it Regina.

Are you sure they are not indexed? The best way to find out and to submit them for indexing if they're not is to use Google Search Console.

Difficult to give some input without looking at your site.

How old are the posts? ... It can take some time for blog posts to be indexed by Google.
