Reply To: Weird indexing delays lately?

Realistically, yeah, I’m seeing it too, and it’s getting old. The weird part is it’s not even consistent by site anymore. I’ve got one client where boring old pages are still getting picked up in a day or two, then another where a page sits there after crawl, after submit, after internal linking, and nothing. No obvious pattern. Just that usual Google nonsense. What’s been more noticeable lately is the “junk wins fast” thing. Thin stuff, weird long-tail pages, random crap with barely any links — suddenly it’s in. Meanwhile the page you actually care about is just… there. Makes you wonder if there’s some trust threshold or site-level mood swing going on. I’d be careful with the ugly indexing tricks too. Sometimes they seem to nudge things, sometimes they just make the whole thing look even more random. I’ve had better luck just tightening internal paths and making sure the page isn’t an orphan, but even that’s not a magic fix lately. So yeah, not just your projects. Feels like another one of those stretches where Google’s acting like it’s “working” while half the site is basically in limbo.
