    Just feedback, i use Google instant index beta plugin, and i follow Rankmath’s all content optimization guidelines as we write blog posts and then i published,

    After new Google update July for spam link update and indexing i noticed some of my indexed posts disappear after few days, then resubmit it and indexed again and in few days it disappears again, then i removed Beta google instant index plugin and i convert all dofollow external links to nofollow and published again…and few days go by post indexed, and now it is there all the time…

    so my take: 1. maybe you guys have to reconsider new content optimization tricks,, sicne google new update i read, they like all external links to be nofollow… something like that.. May be i’m wrong but they want all sponsors links and affiliate link mark as sponsor links so it’s time to reconsider those guidelines for rank math optimization..

    2. please double-check if google get pissed off if we using instant index api plugin.. or something they don’t like…. it make indexing because it works… but then when new algorithms kicks in it remove those instant indexed URLs from search results.. Something is happening like that.. you are the experts so please see if there is any fix need to be done… thanks…

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    1. It is not that Google likes/dislikes nofollow or dofollow links. There can be use cases for both and as long as the links are not spam, Google is totally fine with them. For the July update, please check this reply of John Mueller from Google on nofollow links.

    We already provide the option to mark any link as Sponsored. Please have a look at this screencast for a quick reference: https://i.rankmath.com/4FbNKt

    Enabling the sponsored link option would add the rel=”sponsored” attribute to the link.

    2. Google recommends that you use the Indexing API ONLY for Job Posting and Live Streaming websites and for other website’s, sitemaps can be used.

    We’ve not come across any issues with the support for the Instant Indexing API. With that being said, it is well known that Google’s algorithmic updates bring several kinds of temporary issues that get fixed with time.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you.
