Hello, I’m learning to install Lemmy on my VPS with Docker. Is there anything specific I can do to improve the SEO for .world domain, or it’s just waiting? I still don’t know how to connect to other instances, is that important for SEO? What will happen if I just post stuff everyday, will my instance eventually show up in Google?
Add your site to Google’s search index and Bing’s search index. Most other search engines use one of their indexes. It can take a few days before the site starts showing up on Google/Bing/other search engines that use their indexes.
There’s a bunch of ways to optimize seo other than wait for more people to link to your site, but they won’t have as much of an effect as just having a more popular site with more incoming links.
Thanks for the reply, I did what you said and I get from Google Search Console - Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag. However in my instance I never selected such option, does anyone have any idea how I can remove that tag?
I also see X-Robots-Tag “none” in the caddy file of my instance, I should probably change that value, because maybe that keeps the bot away.
