2 months and yet Google didn't index my site

Stencil · May 13, 2018

Ok, so I bought this domain a while ago, xxxxxxxxxxxx.watch
There are 9 categories and every category has approx 3-4 articles
each one is shared across different social media platforms
the DA = 17 and PA varies from 9 to 16 of all the posts.
Site is built on wordpress, basic SEO with yoast is done
Sitemap, analytics, webmaster for Google, Bing, Yandex everything is setup
Although I submitted the website to bing and yandex a few days ago, I don't expect anything to show up there but its been 2 months or probably a little more, not even 1 page has been indexed by Google, Can you believe that?
Google Webmaster shows that the site is submitted successfully, No visible errors encountered so far. As far as I have checked, nothing is wrong with search console or settings yet, not ONE page is indexed.

Any idea, why is this stuck?
Is this due to a weird domain name?
any suggestions or feedback will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Stencil

Am having the same problem

Go check if you have your webpage settings set at "no index" (either in yoast or Wordpress) - since the domain is brand new there is no other reason to not get your website index..

Possible reason -- The domain could have spam to death ( Did you do wayback check ? ) & reviving might need sledge from THOR

Moreover -- XXXXXX sound Porn'ish

hahaha... XXXXX is a variable in this case.
The domain is new, 2-2.5months old, 1st owner!
No spammy links were built. To be honest I don't even have enough time to work on this. Its sort of a pet project. But this ignorance from Google hurts more than that of my girlfriend's

Maybe this domain got deindexed & penalized. Then the owner let it drop and here we are.

2 months is enough time to index your site. IMHO.
I have seen some extensions on search engine, but never .watch. Perhaps, i have not look closer.

That's what I thought. 2 months is plenty.
I just took advice from @Bartolomeo and checked for penalties. Turns out, its penalized for content. I basically copied content from here and there, gave it a spin and pasted it on my site.

Yeah, but now I'll have to figure out how to do the damage control

It's not actually about you building links - The comment below tells more of what am talking about...

yeah, like I said, I f**ked up. I used spun content, didn't care to check with copyscape.
That's why it's penalized and hasn't indexed. Now I think I'll have to redo the writing part from fresh

No, You still not getting it --- Did you make wayback check of the domain to see if it's been used for farm links/PBN and get deindexed by google before you picking it up?

Insert your domain here: http://archive.org/web/

Check to see if there is anything suspicious in the domain history..

how did you determine the site is penalized for content?
