Google No Longer Automatically Indexes Websites

You could try the google search console - it gives you a view on what hits/clicks have come in over time.

edit: Hah. I notice it suggests using it at the top of the page if you use 'site:..." - and I only get 5 results for my site when the console claims to have indexed 10 times that many!

edit2: Also duckduckgo returns more like 15 hits ...

Silly to see people complaining about search results and indexing without backing those claims with data from search console. It’s like devs turn off their brains when it comes to marketing because they don’t like it.

Google's bloody Search Console says I got 16 impressions in 2 months for literal searches of my domain name, and nothing else. Funny seeing people thinking I got those figures by reading tea leaves.

Who's the silly one now?
