Google deindexing posts across all my sites

[thejet7]

I've started a few niche blogs in the last 3 months. All posts are high quality manually written. All are 1500-4000 words. As far as I can tell they are not over optimized for anything. They are formatted and have pictures etc.

Google had the posts indexed. Some even ranked on page 2-3 without any backlinks. Now they are disappearing or the index. Google is deindexing the posts for no apparent reason. I've never had this happen with sites before.

No idea what is going on here...

They might be pushing high authority sites up
Also check your backlinks

Hmmmmm...

Are these aged domains?

It sounds like you're going through the typical Google Algorithrim swing for new websites, no worries.

Ride the storm like a boss.

Taking link velocity into consideration, place some carefully chosen backlinks to your sites.

Same for me, don't worry, most of the time, it's just Google dance for sites that are not already established

3 months is about the time this happens more often.

It can be technical issue but it's probably nothing and time will "fix" it.

 

[Coding4life]

keep adding more content, improve your SEO and backlinks. It will get fixed for sure...

Your site maybe fall into this category, a penalty.

After reading through these threads it sounds like it. I thought it was only me that was experiencing this issue.
Thanks for all your replies guys.
The trouble is no one seems to have a solid answer on what is causing this issue.

Keep pushing contents and links, don't check ranking for at least 6 months, things get normal after the sandbox period

Wow...quite brutal from Google

Hmmmmmm...

Actually, the problem has been stated a number of times.

Some called it the Google Dance, the Google Sandbox or the Google Algorithrm Swing.

When you launch a new site, this swing, dance, sandbox is to be expected.

If it doesn't happen, count yourself lucky (if it doesn't happen, you may have chosen a non-competitive niche) either way, keep it moving.

The "Google dance" does not deindex your content. It just moves it around in the SERPS.

When you say your content is "deindexing" do you mean it is removed from Google's index or do you mean it has dropped deep in the rankings? Because those are two different problems.

You can check using the "site" search option to see if it is still in the index. If it is, just wait, as suggested above.

Yes, I meant deindexed. The pages are missing when I do a search for site:my domain.com/page.
Many pages were ranking too, but obviously if they were deindexed then they can't possibly rank anymore. I just wondered what the things these sites have in common that receive this penalty.

 

[RRunner]

Yes that's weird. Articles online say it is usually manual penalty or a problem with the code on the website. But I have seen more than one person complain about this recently and not for dmca or other obvious problem.

Lots of threads on BHW about Google updates. I think Google is just starting to drop the ball and making their own errors.

Have you tried reindexing them or putting them through Google search console?

Yes. I've tried requesting reindexing through the search console. It just comes up with status: excluded.
They acknowledge they pages have been crawled, but are deliberately excluded from the index. I can't figure out the problem.

Wow. That's kind of crazy. And it's not any illegal/banned/trademarked content?

So weird.

I have a similar problem, the domain is about 15 years old, but the website put up about 5 months ago. I regularly add new subpages with content of min 3k words.

Out of 120 sites, over 40 have the excluded status. I do not know what could be the reason

Sounds like my situation. One of my domains is aged with a new site. Where did you get your content from?

No. Just a general niche. All content is mainly text written by myself

Google is losing its mind...
