So I have had some indexing problems across pretty much all my sites.

Tried Google Instant Indexing API yesterday on one of the newer small sites, and now that test-page is indexed in under 24hrs.

Now I want to use it on all my sites, but Google are saying themselves it should be used on job/large sites only and mine are just regular aff sites...

Anyone seen/heard about negative results after using it?

Rank Math's indexing plugin uses this api and afaik noone got banned or something.

Just use it.

I've been using it on all my money site for quite a while. No problem so far, many people do the same too.
 
Did you use it in the end?

I have just installed it on one of my mass page websites and submitted 100 URLs.

How long did it take the pages to get indexed? (not crawled)
 
I have been using it for a couple of my blogs and haven't encountered any problems so far.
 
Let us know the result after you try, it seems safe to go with.

Used it on multiple sites over the last week, literally every single URL got indexed within 24hrs.

Do you still have success with this method, and are those pages indexed with this method ranking? I've done everything in my power since October last year to get my new posts indexed. :( This is the last resort.
 
It doesn't cause any issues at all. It's a tool made by Google for that purpose, so that they don't waste time re-indexing the whole internet when trying to find a new page, or when your content change. It's a way to tell them "look, you should index", then it's up to them, after analyzing the url if they will or not. Normally they will, if it's a good page. But it's not guaranteed. Just to fully inform you how it works.

If they're not indexing, it may be that Google doesn't want them. I've had pages that were too thin and until I upped my game on them they kept going into and out of the index.

To really see what is going, first go into GSC and put in the url and see if they are Submitted and Indexed, or are they Discovered and not indexed, or maybe even Crawled but not indexed. If they were crawled and not indexed, then it may be the content itself.

When checking good, search for the exact url. If it shows up, then it's indexed but it may not rank for anything. If not, then it may be either the page itself is too thin or perhaps even the site itself.

Even sites that have plenty of content indexed still have to bring at least something to the table with a given page or Google may see it doesn't add enough to net to include it.
