Hi everyone, I have a website that I have been working on for almost a year. I keep publishing new articles on my website. Normally Google indexes my new articles in a few days or weeks.

I also have a few forums on my website. The same goes with indexing my forums by Google. However, I added three new forums on my website about two month ago, non of them have been indexed by Google!

I don’t know why Google doesn’t index my forums anymore. Why is Google not indexing my forum? Is there any specific reasons for my forums not being indexed by Google?

In my new forums there are some topics that google has indexed them, but I don’t understand why google doesn’t index the forums themselves?

If you know any solution for my problem with Google not indexing my forums, please help me.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi Dear Poppy! There could be several reasons why Google is not indexing your new forums. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

1. Low-quality content: If the content on your forums is low-quality or doesn’t add value to the user, Google may not consider it worth indexing. Make sure that your forum content is unique, informative, and engaging for your users.
2. Technical issues: Google may not be able to crawl and index your forums if there are technical issues with your website. Check for any crawl errors or issues with your website’s robots.txt file that may be preventing Google from accessing your forums.
3. Low page authority: If your forum pages don’t have a high page authority, Google may not consider them important enough to index. Try to build more backlinks to your forum pages from reputable sources to increase their page authority.
4. Duplicate content: If your forum content is similar to content on other websites, Google may not index it to avoid duplicate content issues. Make sure that your forum content is unique and not copied from other sources.
5. Slow website speed: If your website is slow to load, Google may not be able to crawl and index your forum pages. Make sure that your website speed is optimized for fast loading times.
6. Lack of internal linking: Internal linking is important for helping Google understand the structure of your website and its pages. Make sure that your forum pages are properly linked to from other relevant pages on your website.

In summary, to get your forums indexed by Google, make sure that your content is high-quality, your website is technically sound, and your forum pages have a high page authority. Also, ensure that your website speed is optimized, your content is unique, and your forum pages are properly linked to from other relevant pages on your website.
