Do Google index a site like this?
- Thread starter Ai Samuel
- Start date
I wanted to know if I am wasting time with the site or it's better to continue with a new one
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.

To improve EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) in the football players' biography niche:
Experience:
Share unique insights, stats breakdowns, or match memories that show you've followed the player's career closely.
Example: “I’ve been watching Lionel Messi since his Barcelona debut in 2004.”
Expertise:
Include detailed career analysis, such as transfers, goals, injuries, and awards, with citations from reliable sources (e.g., FIFA, UEFA, ESPN).
Authoritativeness:
Link to high-authority sports sites and mention credible references. Get backlinks from relevant blogs, forums, or sports news.
Trustworthiness:
Include your name, author bio, and explain how you researched the content.
Example: “This article is based on data from official club websites, Transfermarkt, and verified interviews.
Thought of you mate. Thanks so much, I really appreciate you.... I'll start again and hopefully I breakthrough. Thank you so much

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.

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.
