Reply To: Google’s indexing is acting drunk again

Realistically, yeah, I’m seeing the same mess. What’s been messing with me is pages getting crawled almost immediately, then just sitting there with zero movement for days, like Google half-decided on them and then forgot. And yeah, the parasite / expired-domain stuff seems to get a weird fast lane sometimes, which is exactly why the whole “just make it better content” routine feels so useless here. I’ve had a couple pages that were clean, internally linked, decent crawl paths, all that — still stuck. Meanwhile some garbage off a stronger domain gets picked up like it’s urgent. So I’m leaning more toward some trust / selection / crawl-priority nonsense than anything on-page. Not saying content doesn’t matter, but right now it feels like indexing is being throttled or queued weird, not like Google’s carefully judging quality.
