Indexed but not ranked on search

[DanielGriffin]

I have wrote many blogs and made it rank in the search but in the recent times I could see that few blogs are getting indexed but are not available on search. It's not a new site and I have ranked high competitive words but these are common blogs and still not available on search even after months since the blog is published.

Do you guys have any idea on it?

Thousands of many old and popular blogs are getting *****d these days.

And Google is not even using Durex.

You're not alone. We, small independent sites, are mostly affected by the 2024 google seo trash updates.

Do you guys got any plans to overcome this?

@DanielGriffin

Have a watch of these recent videos from Gary Illyes (Analyst on the Google Search team ):

How Google Search indexes pages [youtube.com...]

There's a few others in the series. Hope it helps. (even though the current core update might be an issue for you, like lot's of others here).

That said, Google has never been consistent in ranking all blogs and content for all sites. It can be quite random at times, even in "good" times before HCU came along.

Other than when uploading new pages ensure that they are absolutely spot-on since it really depends on Google's perception of where you are in the their pecking order of importance.

News sites in my experience seem to take precedence above all sites.
Normal sites depend upon their perceived financial value to G & Joe Public buyers in particular
Normal updating of established sites for me is on a weekly basis.
NEW sections of sites can easily be 3-4 months and sometimes up to 9-12 months but once established should enter the weekly pattern.

There are no hard, fast, simple rules other than Wordpress sites at times seem to get "preferential" treatment however with 66% (correct?) of sites running WP that is hardly surprising.

And no matter what there are no guarantees with G. I have a 6 month old site and 99% of its traffic is NOT from G. Fortunately it is one of my sites since if it were a customer's site I really would not know what to advise to do other than GADs.

Up for this. Do you guys have solution for this?
