Just my personal rant for the day.
Been 10 days for a hub and still waiting.
Been over a month for a website article and still waiting.
Fortunately, throwing "how to submit a url to google" at them apparently solves the problem.
Got any related tips? Throw them here.
Re-rant.
Zero out of over 100 website pages crawled today. Thinking of resubmitting the whole blasted site, though it's been said that traffic drops afterwards as Google re-digests things.
I always manually submit my URL's to Google. I don't wait for them. It definitely seems to help. Also, I've been getting some good traffic from Pinterest lately. I take advantage of adding relevant tags to the description box when I pin an article.
Pinterest has been good to me in the past as well.
Hey, folks. I seldom drop by https://hubpages.com/my/hubs/traffic-sources , but I just noticed Bing and Yahoo aren't ignoring us nearly as much as they used to. Can't help but wonder if MVEN had anything to do with that.
I just assume when it takes longer for me to see traffic from Google than usual, it must be because I'm declining in ability. I've never been so vain as to search Google for my new article - No wait, It isn't that I'm not vain, it's that I fear rejection.
Who you callinĀ“ vain, Willis?
I just checked the hub I published about a week ago and found out that it is indexed and already the featured snippet. (No, PDS, I am not going to complain about that!)
I used the Google "submit your article" feature since when I checked after a few days it was still not visible on my search.
I am proud to say Google has never rejected me. They just put me on page 100.
That sounds like a great hub: "Secrets and Tips to make it to Google Page 100"
Reminds me of that joke:
Where's the best place to hide a dead body?
The second page of Google.
Update on my featured snippet: Still zero traffic from Google. Do I sense a pattern here, PDS?
If Google is displaying the main content of your hub, so that the reader does not have to click it; Yep!

Hi everyone,Since Google's updates these past couple of months, I've noticed a significant traffic drop (about 20%). Every time I gain some traction and hope, it's a case of going back two steps again. I'm sure I'm not alone! I thought it might be a good idea to start a healthy discussion here to...

The Googlebot visits new hubs within 30-60 minutes while they are in 'Pending' mode and the NOINDEX tag is in place for 24 Hours. This means that the bot does not index the page, and does not return for days or weeks. New pages do not get indexed for days or weeks. This causes lost traffic and lost...

I pretty much have the same amount of traffic everyday but last week 5 of my hubs were moved to niche sites and since then I've has less half the traffic as normal. What could cause that?

Hubbers, I'm sorry that we can't tell you why your traffic is going down or why Google was showing Hubs on hubpages.com and now has reverted to showing them on the subdomain. We are similarly frustrated. We do know Google announced a panda update last week. We also can see Hubs...

I truly don't get it. It's a whole lot of pretty pictures. How does posting our articles to pinterest get them read?

I love HubPages, I feel that I have learned so much here and my confidence in writing non-fiction took such a huge leap when I was invited onto the Apprenticeship program last year. I have met some wonderful people here - both staff and other Hubbers. But as may other people have said, the idling...
