So in June I started my health nice blog, writed like 10 articles, all of them got indexed.

Next month, stopped paying my hosting and gave up the site. Long story short, 2 weeks ago I picked up the site again, but the host deleted all of my content, so I started it from 0 this time for pet niche - wrote like 15 articles already ( but they are NOT getting indexed)

The problem: new articles are not getting indexed and old articles appear indexed in GSC and this week started seeing weird stuff happening: At first, when I used the site: function, it was only my homepage indexed. But now Google indexed my old archives ( 3 at number) and the next day deindexed them ( 404 not found). This pattern continued for 2-3 days indexing-deindexing.

Am I doing something wrong? I think I am just not giving it enough time and expecting too much in a short period of time. Waiting for your advice.
 
first, how de-indexing from google is related to 404 not found? 404 means that your webserver can't show the page - the requested resource (e.g. url) doesn't exist.

On a more general note, de-indexing from site: is usually a problem of content quality.
improving content to be unique and valuable MORE than existing content, along with backlinks will solve every indexing and raking problem.
 
Indexing related issues are common with new blogs now. Keep working on it, this problem will automatically resolve in some days.
 
Yes, it is a fresh one bought in June.
 
It's very common as of late to experience these issues. If I were you, I'd set my blog/articles up to be properly indexed.

Something like:

- At least 500 words of text on each article. Larger pieces of content address searcher's intent more accurately and are thus easier to index.
- Create a sitemap & submit it & all money site article links (content) to Google Search Console
- Ensure your page load speed for the entire site is minimal (as fast as possible). See here:

- Use Rank Math Instant Indexer with the Google API. Follow this link's instructions exactly: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/
- Create a social footprint online using all forms of social media including: Web 2.0's, Social bookmarking websites, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, etc.
- Your domain to be aged at least 30 days. This isn't a "requirement" and you can definitely start indexing attempts earlier, but Google should index your new content easier the older your site gets.
 
As what previous said, there's issue with indexing and deindexing with Google.
Among other things make sure content is high quality. Make as much Edits as needed for ai content if you are using ai content.
 
Submit the sitemap frequently in a week and check with the hosting server once again is everything okay

Sometimes it takes time for index so wait for a few weeks to get the index of already posted articles
 
If you submit URLs via GSC they should be indexed. Equally, if they are not showing up in Google's results it is because they only want that, in a niche like health, websites have authoritative writers within the health sector, articles with a bibliography at the end, citations to sources and medical studies, etc.

That is definitely a crazy good guide! Thanks
