No articles indexed in past 5 months -> Via If you're having indexing issues, then it could be overall site quality problems. It's not necessarily tied to the specific articles not indexed. John has seen this more & more recently (site quality...) youtube.com/watch?v=sH_tdG

More from : Even if the content isn't spam, if the content is just ok... then Google's systems could slow down crawling & indexing because it doesn't know how it would show the content in the SERPs. Less technical, more about overall site quality: youtube.com/watch?v=sH_tdG

So, if you're seeing big indexing problems and you keep focusing on just *specific urls* not being indexed, then you could be missing the forest for the trees. Focus on improving site quality overall, and over the long-term. Site quality is super-important (clearly).

Or it may just be Google's being lazy.
I've experienced indexing problems on a website where quality was built in right from the start. Every URL was designed with the search user in mind, no tech issues, etc.
Still, 50% of URLs are crawled not indexed from Jan up until now.

Algorithms like those used for crawling & indexing don't take time off to play pool or to drink more coffee; they're always working. If they're currently not working on your site, they're working on a site they feel is more important. Convince them that they're missing out.

Couldn't agree more. I'm working on a site not using canonical pages with up to 10 parameters site wide with an individual sitemap for each instance. Search console feels like a never ending scroll of discovered not indexed pages, duplicate etc. I had John Mu quote at them. :p

Yo how much influence is assigned to internal in ound links when discusding inexing of new content? In my mind internal in bound links are the key to Indexing new content for your blog or we site. What is your opinion about the value of internal inbound links here ?
Overall quality of a website is very important to be indexed by #Google. But it doesn't always easy to understand why a website is not judged enough Qualitative by Google.
