Not finding any of our posts in Google or other search engines
Hi @Frank.
just checked if some of our articles are already found in Google, but no luck. None of the articles can be found via Google. In total there are only 5, mainly navigation results indexed by Google.

We are now two weeks online, is this normal? Or is there perhaps still an indexing bug with the site?!
Best regards @colinardo

Hello @colinardo,
I don't think Google likes us. To be honest, I don't know why our pages are not indexed by Google.
You wouldn't believe how frustrating it is when Google doesn't even index the English content on Administrator.de.
It works perfectly with the other portals that use the same programming. For example, the portal benutzer.de Portal, which I started at the same time as rootDB, now has all its articles indexed. There are five of them here.
We have a sitemap that reports no errors and has been successfully crawled by Google:
But Google has not indexed this page for some reason. They call it "crawled - not currently indexed". Unfortunately, the explanation is meaningless and useless:
Well, there may be errors on the page. You can check that, of course. So let's go to PageSpeed Insights and test a post:
Hmm, 100%. OK, let's test the page again in Google Search Console:
Everything is fine again. I think Google is treating sites that aren't from the US unfairly. I don't know how else to explain it.
So here is my honest opinion after 20 years of SEO: I don't know why our site with the .com domain is not indexed by Google. I've tried everything I know about SEO.
Maybe we just have to wait a little longer. But if you find a bug or have an idea, just let me know. But as I said, we have 2 other portals with exactly the same programming and the same SEO. Everything works there.
Regards,
Frank

Thank you for the detailed insight! Have not done SEO for some time now, so i am not up to date regarding this topic.
So just pray, wait and see ... But i can really imagine how frustrating this must be, so much work from your side not paying of and the content from us as well. Hopefully the time will fix it. *Pressing both thumbs*.

That's really wierd, yesterday I noticed one additional result of rootdb.com in the search results (in total 6, and only one of them real content from a post). It was an older english article from myself. And today, this page is gone again , wtf are you doing Google 😵💫😕. Some dumb KI doing the job now ...?!
Hi,
what can I say, somehow the Google system doesn't seem to be working properly anymore.
For example, here is the result of the first check: 'crawled - not currently indexed'.
It says 61 failed, but not why or how. Of course, all the URLs are accessible without errors, and if you check them one by one, they are indexable and without errors.
So why did the check fail? Nobody knows except Google. All the explanations in their own help pages are meaningless and do not apply to our pages (e.g. not all 1000 nestings, etc.).
I started the check again in the hope that it would work better the second time. But I don't really think it will.
