Hello Guys!

I got a Website, where people can read novels for free. I made this Website in May so it's 5 months old, but still not ranking.

Not only that, but I observed, that the impressions and clicks aren't growing. The weird thing is, that the website had more impressions at the beginning than now.

The website has 8k pages of real content (novel chapters). Even if a page would get 1 impression, it should still accumulate to thousands. But it doesn't.

Google isn't even showing my serps in the back of their pages (Even random stuff gets shown, but not my serps!). Only searching with my website name helps and even then it only has 4 pages and the rest is insignificant spam.

Few Details:
  • The website is handmade with only GA4 as a script
  • I adapted the SEO structure of my competition without copying it
  • I'm using json-ld
  • Mobile first
  • All pages are interconnected
I know that my site is still young, but it's pretty sus that the impression stay at the bottom with no growth. Do you have any ideas?

Who wrote the novel? Your website could be in google sandbox.

Most of them are translations from chinese novels (it's like one of those anime websites). But we also have fresh novels made by my friends

It's an algorithmic penalty,
Most of the typical auto blogs will easily get penalized nowadays,
You have to get some authority and trust 1st, then make your a/b tests

Thanks for your answer! The domain is new, so flagged expires domain is unlikely. It might be Sandbox

Thanks for your answer! So it comes down to backlinks?

Fresh domain registered on 2023-11-21 and a few days later site launched. 4k indexed pages, without any forced indexation. The results:

Looks almost like mine. I always thought that the Sandbox is only up to 3 months :\
What do you think could help? Maybe buying backlinks?

It is hard to say, I have couple of similar sites, that gone through some link building after launch of the site - ~30 referring domains in a month or two - this not helped.
The sites gone out of the sandbox after 1 year without doing nothing after initial link building.

not really,
getting some authority links can help you getting it out of the penalty, not ensured tho,
better move on and focus in other/next website(s) or/and build a new one for that niche,

recovering the current one is not really worth it since you didn't invest in any links,
it would much easier to deal with a new/different website,

no, you're not ^^
you need to test things gradually, don't go from 0 to 1k posts overnight,
post a couple of posts with your content template and check how they would perform,
post 5-6 daily and monitor the indexing, ranking, etc...
scale gradually (5-20-100 per day...) if they work well and reduce the frequency if you encounter any problems,

OP, that's not a sandbox,
typically with a sandbox, you'll be struggling to reach the top positions,
your website/page are nowhere in the top 100s for most/all of the keywords and that's definively a penalty,

it would a sanbox if you're ranking for any posistions for any long tail/easy keywords,
but you're stating that random results/pages are showing while your website is not despite being optimized for the keywords
 
Spread the word on many SM platforms to get some traffic traction
 
Try to add some articles with easy keywords and build strong guest post

No, then only AI used is for proofreading for some pages, but the majority is AI free



Not 8k, but we added 100 to 300 pages per day. Is this already too much?


BTW thanks everyone for helping!

Yes this is too much. You should add around 5-6 quality articles per day. Now google views your website as spam.

But how do new forums survive? My website is a platform for writers and readers. People can make their own account and post their stories, so it can easily get more than new 6 chapters a day.

Is there a way out of the spam filter?
