Do Google index a site like this?

[watchdaride]

If Google update hit a certain website, will the posts from the site still index?

Because one of my website was hit by just concluded Google update but it's still indexing my new posts but it's not showing up when search through the keyword. But when typed site:url.com all posts appears and indexing.

Just curious though because I want to know if I am wasting time on the site or not

it depends, yes some of the still be indexed after google hit.

I wanted to know if I am wasting time with the site or it's better to continue with a new one

Yes, Google can still index your posts after a core update hits, but they may not rank well. If posts appear with site:yourdomain.com but not for keywords, it means you're indexed but likely lost trust or ranking due to quality or relevance issues.

What should I do at this point? Continue posting or start a new blog?

Yes, your posts can still be indexed even if the site was hit by a Google update. However, being indexed doesn't mean they'll rank well. If your keywords aren't showing in search results but posts appear with site:, it means the site is indexed but has lost rankings — likely due to content quality, backlinks, or other SEO issues. You're not wasting time if you're working to improve the site.

Will the site ever come back because I am already working on improving the contents. The problem started during the recent Google update

Google usually collects data and fixes any bugs in their updates. So, you should wait for a month to see if they revert the changes.

If you start a new one, then focus on EEAT and content. It will help you face the upcoming Google update.

Yes! When a site hit by Google update, it can still get new posts indexed. But if your rankings dropped, your content might not show up for keywords and even if it’s indexed. That means Google sees your content but doesn’t trust it enough to rank it well right now.
It’s not a total waste of time, but focus on quality, E-E-A-T signals (like author info, trust), and maybe audit your old content add value and real data. If indexing is working, recovery is possible. don't worry, just work properly!

All my new posts are indexing real quick, even my search console impressions do count small on daily. Hopefully I get back at stand because I have re-edited all the contents on the site

Google might index a site like this, but if it finds low-quality or spammy backlinks, the site can get lower rankings or even penalties.

Yes, your posts can still get indexed after a Google update hit, but they may not rank well. If they're showing with site:url.com but not for keywords, it means Google is crawling but not valuing your content as highly. You're not wasting time - just focus on improving quality and stay consistent. Recovery takes time.

Google might index a site like this, but if it uses spammy or low-quality backlinks (like from GSA), it could get penalized or ranked very low.

 

[FinnPulse]

If posts are still indexed but not ranking, it’s likely a quality or relevance issue—keep improving content and SEO, don’t give up yet.

 

[MadelynWard]

Yes, Google can index a site with short-form blog posts-as long as the content is original, useful, and the site is crawlable. Quality matters more than length.
