I was redesigning my site and accidentally left the homepage link out of the navigation for about a week.
I expected crawling or rankings to be affected, but I honestly didn't notice any difference in traffic or indexing.

Started doing off page SEO for a new affiliate site recently.
Not using heavy spam methods. Mostly trying niche relevant backlinks, social signals and a few profile links first. Planning to go slowly because Google updates lately seem strict.
Still testing what works best in 2026 for newer domains.
