Log #002: The Bumpy Road - Lone triumph amidst many dumb failures

Hello everyone,

It's been a while, but a lot has happened in the meantime. I often describe myself as an extreme enthusiast who, at times, goes full throttle and might overlook a few things!

Golden SEO Protocol got indexed! 

Just a day after going live and registering on GSC, Golden SEO Protocol was already indexed by Google! A truly exciting moment!

First Index Golden SEO Protocol


Following my last log, I launched a Google Ads campaign for my Structured Data FAQ script. Honestly, I'm not an SEA wizard, so after a few days with zero results, I thought: let's pause the ads. I don't have time to optimize right now and, to be frank, I prefer spending time rather than money on the Golden SEO Protocol project.  

Extreme failure...

In my enthusiasm, I also realized that this page, the key sales page, was set to noindex... oopsie. I was wondering how long it would take for the Structured Data FAQ script page to appear in the SERP. Picture me as grumpy as the image in the blog post...   

I quickly turned on 'Index':


Crawled but not indexed…

Since launching Golden SEO Protocol, I've created about twenty archive pages. The ultimate goal is to create a vast knowledge base with practical SEO information. However, I encountered an issue in Google Search Console: "Crawled – currently not indexed, or discovered – currently not indexed":

Crawled - currently not indexed

I really don't feel like manually submitting an indexing request for each page within Search Console. Besides, you can only do this to a limited extent for a certain period of time.

I posted this issue within the SEO community on Mastodon, and Andrew from Optimisey responded:

Optimisey HTML sitemap

So, I decided to create an HTML sitemap in true Golden SEO Protocol style, namely: Galactic Navigator

I'll, ofcourse, monitor and share this optimization, special thanks to Andrew, make sure you follow Optimisey on Mastodon

That's it for this time. I genuinely enjoy actively and transparently sharing this information with everyone. It's especially rewarding to participate actively in the SEO community

Be kind, maybe another log before the holidays, we'll see. If not, happy holidays to all!

Happy SEOing!
