It appears your posts are getting indexed.  Even on my WordPress sites, it can take 1-2 days for content to get indexed.  There are times indexing takes place within hours.

Hello Shehnaaz - looking at your profile and blogging history shows me that you started posting this week.  Results, especially these days,  don't happen "overnight".  ActiveRain is a community where sharing of ideas, thoughts and comments is a process.  Good luck with your staging business and your involvement here.

Shehnaaz,

ARMS has answered on the index issue.  Do keep posting as issues arise. As Karen Climer advised, the site has seriouus challenges exacerbated by a recent crash that disappeared all June blogs (except those dated Jun 1).  Promises have been made regarding restoration of lost blogs but a timeline is still forthcoming. This is just one of the issues confronting mgt. who recently appeared on a couple Zoom meetings to discuss the matter. 

Mgt has asked to be kept informed of site problems.  We recommend that he check here on Q&A regularly to learn of issues like yours. 

I second the suggestion of others that a list be posted of known issues to be fixed / addressed so members know what's going on.  The uncertainty has contributed to members dropping off but some progress has been made on fixes.  The question that remains, will the blog platform be reliable in future and more quickly fixed if something hits it again.

Until recently, I had a paid membership.  Some of my blog posts were never indexed (at least as far as I could tell).  Some magically disappeared and have never returned.

I recently terminated my paid membership here and am focusing my blogging efforts in other, more reliable, places.

I know that doesn't help you with your current plight.  I'm just sharing my experience.  

There is still some benefit to this site.  But I would not recommend it as a place to keep a blog.

Look like you have a good answer from ARMS! Like Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist I find my WP blog posts sometimes get indexed very quickly and other times it takes a day or 2. Keep up the posting!!

Home is where the hearth is.

A quick Google-search of your name brings up THREE of your published posts (plus your AR Profile).  Since you've only posted four posts, that's 75% showing up on Google in a very short time.

And since your very first blog post was only 5 days ago, I'd say that's pretty good.  I'd call that better than "some benefit".

________________

On a side note, Active Rain is a Real Estate related website.  Realtors, Appraiser, Stagers, Inspectors... you get the idea.  And the SEO is historically very strong in those fields.

I'm not sure how valuable AR's SEO would be for Crochet Dreamz.

"Water" your garden  and soon you will have results. 

I go time to time and search on google some topic of mine. 

 2007 was amazing, within an hour I could see my post in Google on first page...

Time is different now. 

Best of luck, DO NOT GIVE UP!

I only see one indexed so far, but other people see more.
It appears that different data centers give different results.

Probably in a week or so, all results will match.
