There are complaints within the BlackHatWorld boards that the Google Indexing API just isn’t working. Some are saying Google is returning a name saying all is nice however with regards to indexing the content material, it’s not taking place.
Some are saying it’s simply a problem with indexing and others are saying it has to do with the Google Indexing API. I did see some random indexing complaints over the previous day or so, however I at all times see indexing complaints.
This website just isn’t having points being listed, so I think it’s extra of a particular.
Listed below are some complaints within the BlackHatWorld Forums:
Right now I’ve drawback on Google Indexing API – The hyperlinks are succesfully despatched to indexing, 200 OK standing code, however I’ve no request from Googlebot. I’ve tried with a number of domains and accounts.

You are not alone who’s dealing with this drawback after new replace.
Anybody tried the schema they mentioned it is working with? I attempted Jobposting embedded in Videoobject, however this does not work both.
Google did just lately clarify their spam rules around the Indexing API. However I do not assume any new motion was particularly taken, I feel it was Google simply being clear concerning the guidelines.
As a reminder, John Mueller of Google mentioned most websites wrongfully using the indexing API are spammy anyway. As a reminder, the Google Indexing API ought to simply be used for job postings and live stream content – nothing else.

Additionally, Google doesn’t index the whole lot and we see that after core updates we see complaints about indexing. Why? As a result of indexing requires some level of quality and Google is not going to index pages it finds to not meet a sure threshold of high quality. Since we simply had the August 2024 core update, most of these complaints following usually are not actually new.
