Ways on Managing Your Content for Google Indexation

The Passive Approach

Google typically find your contents by crawlers which identify the relation of your content to other contents of the same topic as well as the contents in the link found in your pages. Creating a website without a sitemap will promote an attempt to find and index your content not unless if you actually block crawlers.

Advantage:
This approach could mean less work aside form just merely producing good quality content. It is adequate for basic websites that do not opt for timely search engine ranking.

Disadvantage:
Although this strategy does not require much effort, however, if you depend on natural links, Google discovering your content might be unlikely. It can cause long-term problems to your website in terms of promoting contents that you want to be up there on the search results. Hence, even for simple and new websites, it is best to take an approach that will be of benefit to you in the present and future.

How to solve common indexation problems:

Active URL Management

Sitemaps are lists of URLs to your contents or website ages that aid Google in finding your contents. This approach means your page will no longer depend on the relationship of your pages to other pages in the worldwide web. It significantly speeds up the process of Google’s system in discovering the contents on your pages. The bottom line is, with sitemaps, your domain will be put in locations readily accessible by Googlebot.

Moreover, having multiple URLs that have the same AMP page, mobile application view, and HTML page is of great advantage in indicating the relationship of your pages or content to other resources. If you get to establish a relationship with your resources will promote the right pathway to your content. To effectively do this strategy, it is vital to establish authorised pages to your site while linking a relationship among those pages and other web contents. After your contents relationship were established to your prefered resources, it will be easy to identify the kind of content to project on the search results.

Advantage:
This approaches substantially enhances the performances of search results on Google while speeding up the process of instilling contents that are new or with poor-referral bases.


Disadvantage:
This strategy can be dragging and can take a lot of time and effort of providing the right resource metadata or sitemap. Also, the process of building relationships among your web pages, mobile app, and AMP pages will also need a thorough approach to effectively connect contents that are related to each other.

Additionally, upon receiving the list of your URLs, Google crawlers will know when to search for your content.
