It's even worse on brand new website, google will index your homepage and ignore everything else unless it has some external links. Even with a good sitemap and good usability score.
- michaelbuckbee 3y agoThis is a well known phenomenon of "Google Jail" where to combat spammers just setting up hordes of new sites, getting dinged and then migrating to a new domain, Google penalizes new sites until they've been "aged" for some number of months.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoDunno if it's about age so much as it is context. Like my search engine does something similar. The actual text on the pages are only a fraction of the signals used by search engines to put a website to put the putative search result into context. It's really hard to rank a website if there are no links or traffic to it.
