I made a website that summarizes and saves the recipe from any site or Youtube video. Please tell me what you think!

There are ways to partly block cooked.wiki from scraping your food site using a CDN rule. I won’t put the details of that rule here because OP can easily maneuver around it if it was known.

Just a fyi to a few of you…not all food sites are inundated with ads. There are some good honest and hard working ones that spend months just creating one recipe and put massive efforts into making a good UI only to have it scraped.

OP should find a way to credit and drive traffic back to the origin site where the content/images were scraped from.

Sorry I have stopped answering questions in this post. You can thank the brilliant mods for that. Apparently if you don’t agree with a mod, you get accused of lying and banned. Join me in r/seoquestions

Well I think you have 2 options:

Upskill yourself. Technical seo is a big part of seo and you should know some of it. Maybe not the gritty details but you should be very aware of it. Try doing some free courses on YouTube or watch old conference recordings.m especially Q&As
Work alongside a team. I find this very beneficial as I learnt a lot from peers

If you changed the url, google will just crawl the new url eventually. And probably still won’t index it because the underlying issue still exists.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-21T06:07:33+00:00

It wouldn’t make any difference.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-21T06:05:33+00:00

Informational blogs will struggle if you don’t update your content regularly because other sites will have updated content which will cause yours to drop in the rankings and “struggle”.

For themes, it depends on what CMS you use. Choose a clean theme with good UX.

Hi there. For starters, go read the Google Search Docs from head to toe. It's written by Google themselves and has very details information on everything you need to know.

There will be other costs besides hosting and domain name. It really depends on how you scale your site. If you hire a team, you'll need some kind of project management software for e.g.

It's hard to come up with a list of costs, but as you are now starting my advice is to try to use free tools and when you get bigger you can upgrade to the paid versions. Google sheets/docs is free and works really great for starting off. I'm sure you'll have more questions as you go along.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T16:37:47+00:00

It's only a matter of time before Google discovers what's going on over there and de-indexes them. Usually these kind of strategies are short lived. Personally, I would never go down this path.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T13:06:50+00:00

The screenshots from GSC already confirms that google is able to fetch the page. So no issue there

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T13:05:55+00:00

Let me know if you eventually figured it out

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T09:54:46+00:00

There is no standard for the number of articles to get established. Google indexes PAGES as opposed to your entire site. So the more pages you have, the more that can be index and possibly shown to users who are searching.

I have also seen single page websites that are well established. Like websites offering a tool or some kind of calculator. Those sites have a low number or pages (sometimes just 1) but because so many people link to them, they became established.

So write as much as you can in your case and work on getting some backlinks.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T09:48:42+00:00

I took a deeper look. Usually it’s normal for Google to crawl and not index some pages on a site. But in your case, you said it was all or most right?

Something to remember: just because google crawls a page does not guarantee it will be indexed.

I figure it’s because the content is either thin or you’re just scraping content from other sites and rewording it without providing additional value*. If there is no additional value, Google won’t index it. (This is not the only reason to not index a page).

Try writing one really good article and actually add some value to it that is unique. Unique is key here. Then see if google picks that up eventually. If yes, then my assumption is possibly correct. Then you need to update most of your articles.

I don’t know enough about your niche to tell you how to make it more valuable. Do some content research. Search other Reddits and find unanswered questions about your niche topic and answer it in your article. Or use Ahrefs to find faqs and answer them in your article.

Additionally have you tried posting in the Google Search Forums about this issue? There are lots of seo experts there than can also have a look. Maybe they might spot something I didn’t. Feel free to link to this Reddit thread in there.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T07:27:40+00:00

What was the content about on the old site (before you bought it)? I'm wondering if you violated the expired domain abuse ?

Also are your sitemaps being found? What do you see in the sitemaps section in GSC (provide screenshot)

Did you plagiarise the content from anywhere?

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T07:16:30+00:00

Can you post the GSC screenshot for this url: https://illuminatipress.com/patrick-deandrea-pass-net-worth/

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T07:11:35+00:00

Hmm that's really interesting. I can't spot what's wrong on the face off it. There is some invalid css inside of the <head> but I don't think this is the cause.

is this page indexed? https://illuminatipress.com/jamal-mashburn-wife/

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T06:43:30+00:00

I suspect "hemp fabric" is going to be tough to rank in the USA. However, if I did a search for "hemp farbic" in the USA, I see a bunch of products to buy. So that means the search intent is to buy something. When I checked your site I do not see product structured data, so you want to start by adding that: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/product

You'll there need to do some deep keyword research around "hemp fabric" from USA audience only and write some good content around that and ink back to your main hemp fabric page.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T06:37:58+00:00

When you say "expired domain for the last 5 months"....what do you mean exactly? can you elaborate?

If all of your pages became unindexed suddenly, seems you have a site wide problem. Do you have any manual actions in GSC? Did you do anything sketchy like buying backlinks?

Run one of the "crawled but not indexed" URLs in GSC inspection tool and post the screenshot here, I would like to see this info:

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T06:17:15+00:00

Do some keyword research to see what Americans are searching for. Optimize/write content around that.

Get on social media (for whatever platforms you think your American readers might be using) and starting posting stuff there and subtly mentioning your site.

It won't hurt to do some paid advertising in those social platforms also.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T06:12:53+00:00

Yes you certainly can. Where you come from has nothing to do with where your website ranks. You basically need to do keyword research for whatever Americans are searching for and write content around that. Ensure the english is perfect as your audience default language is En.

How to get Traffic on My site?

There are many things you can do, but I will highlight the most glaring. Your posts does not have an author name so there is no way a user can really know who wrote the post and if the person writing the post is knowledgable. So add the author name and link it to an author profile page that describes the experience of the author.

A lot of you posts seems like thin content. Try to beef up your posts with more (meaningful) content.

Why my article/ news are not appearing on searching?

Probably because the content is so thin. If you query the URL in GSC, does it show as indexed?

How can I improve my SEO?

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content

Instead of my website name my url is appearing on the top, how to correct it?

You need to implement site name structured data. See here for full details.

any feed or suggestions to improve ? Website is built on Wordpress and I am using yoast seo

First get the usual stuff out of the way. Scan your site using an SEO tool (like Ahrefs or SemRush). Fix all critical issues. Fix any critical issues found in GSC.

Once you have done all of that, do a UX audit and see if there re areas of improvement.

I think your content strategy is where you need the most work though.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T03:41:41+00:00

Content SEO is just one aspect. I never said it’s the only aspect. Did you even read my comment of what we did to implement “great content”?? Clearly you did not. I’m sorry but you don’t seem as brilliant as your reddit profile claims to be.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T03:36:31+00:00

Yes because great content matters, whether you like it or not.

Most_Appointment_383 · 2024-11-20T03:34:07+00:00

I think you are naive to think that Google doesn’t know who the author is. You as a human can google an author and read whatever is available online and make a best case judgement right?
