What are Google doing. The index rate, particularly for blogspot blogs in my case (as well as one of my main real websites), has become longer than a month. I have some posts that haven't been indexed for over 6 weeks. Do they realise how demotivating it is. I want to write posts. I also have posts already written that I am holding back from submitting, all because Google just won't index them. I don't want any more posts just sitting out there in no mans land unindexed.
I already have around 20 posts, on many different blogs that are just waiting to be indexed. It has become ridiculous. Submitting them over and over in Google's Webmasters "request indexing" tool does nothing either.
Google are making it very difficult to stay patient, and I can see why people just end up using black / grey hat tactics to get their posts indexed. I can also see why people make money online using methods that don't rely on Google, or its terrible new indexing rate. And I'm not talking about paying Google to advertise on their platform. When a company shows that don't care about their users, the last thing I would do is give them money.
I just don't know why they would do this. What is the point of slowing down the indexing rate so much. Is something broken? Is this to do with the move over to smartphone first crawling that has been rumored to cause a lot of problems. I don't know.
I'm now going to wait until all the posts I have waiting to be indexed actually get indexed. I won't submit or write any more posts. So I've been slowed down to adding 1 post per month. Thanks Google.
