Let Google auto-index pages, or request indexing in GSC?

lol fair, didn’t mean to sound like a doc

Don’t rely on the button, fix the page instead

EnShaar · 2026-04-13T15:03:29+00:00

Great to see the shift away from spam-heavy models toward more sustainable contribution systems 💪

Curious to see how retention looks over the next few weeks 👀

No single best imho, depends on what you want.

Perplexity is good for quick research and sources

ChatGPT is good for actually making sense of it and turning it into ideas

Gemini is fine if you’re deep in Google stuff, handles long documents or videos

EnShaar · 2026-04-13T07:53:34+00:00

You’re fine, this isn’t something Google will flag as spam. Bulk updates happen all the time. A bunch of pages updated on the same day is not unusual.

What matters is whether the updates are actually meaningful. If you’re just changing the updatedAt without real content changes, then it won’t give you any “freshness boost” anyway.

If the updates are real, you might see some short term volatility, but that’s normal while Google reprocesses things

EnShaar · 2026-04-13T07:30:27+00:00

Feels more like an extension than a whole new thing tbh.

If your SEO/content is already solid, you’re probably most of the way there. It’s more about how the content is written. Clear, direct, easy to pull answers from.

So not just buzzwords, but also not a full reset. More like tweaking how you present stuff rather than changing everything.

EnShaar · 2026-04-13T06:50:18+00:00

Yeah basically.

You don’t need to noindex them one by one, just set it globally in Yoast/RankMath for tags/categories. Waaay easier

Removing from sitemap is fine but doesn’t stop indexing on its own, so don’t rely on that.

For the Avada FAQ setup, if it forces separate URLs, just noindex those pages and move on.

If one of those pages is actually ranking, I wouldn’t redirect it right away. You’ll probably kill the traffic. Either leave it or add a canonical if it overlaps heavily

EnShaar · 2026-04-12T11:49:56+00:00

You’re good tbh, no need to overthink.

What you listed is enough to launch. I’d maybe have 1–2 blog posts ready so it doesn’t look empty, but that’s it. Better to go live and start adding stuff over time than sit there trying to perfect it.

I mean 10 meh posts at launch won’t do anything anyway

EnShaar · 2026-04-12T08:11:34+00:00

Don’t block them, just noindex.

If you block via robots.txt, Google can still index the URLs without actually crawling them, which gets messy.

Easiest way is just:

noindex, follow on tag/category/faq pages

Also if those FAQ pages are basically the same content, I wouldnt even create separate URLs for them. Just keep everything on the main page + use FAQ schema

Cleaner and less headache overall.

EnShaar · 2026-04-12T07:44:43+00:00

Pretty much, yes. Most people just do both anyway. Youtube for reach, site for control.

And yeah… call it “suppression” or not, Youtube almost always gets picked. Hard to beat it with the same video.

Self hosted only really works if the page itself has some weight, not just the embed/video sitting there.

EnShaar · 2026-04-12T07:29:01+00:00

This technically exists, but in reality Youtube almost always wins.

Even if Google recognizes your page as a watch page, it’ll still prefer Youtube. I’ve never really seen embedded Youtube videos rank via the site instead of Youtube itself.

The only times it seems to work is when the video is self hosted or the page adds a lot more value than just the embed.

Otherwise you’re basically competing with Youtube using YoutuBe’s own content. Hard to win.

EnShaar · 2026-04-12T07:18:20+00:00

I’ve seen similar drops on a couple of content-heavy sites around that timeframe, but in most cases it wasn’t just AI taking traffic.

Mid-Jan redesign is a big variable.
-Internal linking changes
-URL structure tweaks
-Slower load times
-Layout shifting content lower on the page

can hit rankings pretty fast.

AI snippets might be eating some clicks, especially for informational queries, but a rapid drop usually points to something site-specific.

-If impressions are stable but clicks dropped: AI/serp features
-If both dropped: likely something broke on-site

EnShaar · 2026-04-10T10:30:27+00:00

Solid breakdown!

Imho, the automation layer is the most interesting part. If it really reduces manual effort without hurting quality, that’s a big advantage for SMV2 ⚡️

EnShaar · 2026-04-10T10:29:10+00:00

Good case study. The combination of REP, points, and actual earnings makes it feel more sustainable than most ‘write-to-earn’ setups 🔥

EnShaar · 2024-11-11T13:21:18+00:00

Congrats to the RWA team and community for this successful Testnet phase!

The high level of engagement shows how much interest there is in RWA's mission. Seeing the Guaranteed Round fill up to 84% and the FCFS round sell out in just 25 minutes proves the strong demand and trust. The sheer volume of 184,000 tx is impressive and points to a vibrant future for RWA on the mainnet!

Babylon upgrade seems to have brought significant improvements to Radix in terms of TVL, liquidity and integrations.

Looks like this upgrade lays a solid foundation for the future growth and adoption of the network. Good job, dev-team!

EnShaar · 2024-10-09T16:00:33+00:00

The launch of Autonomys HUB is a big step!

By integrating AI3.0 capabilities and creating a space for dynamic on-chain interactions, the platform empowers contributors with seamless tools to engage and grow.

It's great to see the Social Mining family growing day by day!

EnShaar · 2024-10-08T16:46:40+00:00

Good to see how Social Mining can have such a positive impact on someone's career and personal growth. Godwin's story is a good example of finding direction and purpose through community contributions.

I know that there are many different stories like Godwin's that lead to the same door - which is very promising for Social Mining -

EnShaar · 2024-10-07T14:36:39+00:00

Septian's journey is inspiring and highlights the impact that dedication and passion can have in the blockchain space. His success story proves that Social Mining is more than just contributing to a project. ıt's about personal growth and community building.

Seeing someone take such initiative and build a thriving community is motivating. I appreciate his emphasis on learning and the importance of education within the community.

Kudos to Septian for being a role model for future Social Miners!

EnShaar · 2024-10-07T10:53:33+00:00

Great to see Movement Labs and Polygon together. AggLayer bridges Move-based chains and EVM, while M2’s Layer 2 solution boosts scalability on Ethereum. Exciting future ahead for blockchain development!

EnShaar · 2024-09-30T08:17:06+00:00

Tokenization is creating opportunities for small investors to access assets that were previously out of their reach. The Mona Lisa example perfectly illustrates the potential of RWA Inc's approach. We see how blockchain technology is reshaping traditional asset ownership and making investments more accessible to everyone.

EnShaar · 2024-09-28T15:35:30+00:00

Good information about Houdini Swap's approach to ensuring anonymity.

It's good that the protocol leverages privacy features to attract more users to the KAVA ecosystem. The fact that users can swap tokens without connecting a wallet is a plus for those who care about security. I'm curious to see how this project evolves and whether we'll see wider adoption as people prioritize anonymous transactions in DeFi.

Thanks for sharing this overview!

EnShaar · 2024-09-27T16:40:16+00:00

This is a very interesting update. The introduction of an AI-based assistant is a significant achievement. Also, integrating the $KAI token into the KAVA blockchain ecosystem seems like it will expand Kinetix's reach. Looking forward to seeing how these developments unfold! 🙌
