Is that true if we should not submit sitemap into GWT?

  • As I saw, in some first days, my website has only over ten posts, I did not change anything without install Yoast SEO. And my website was located on the first pages of google with some keywords. It also being indexed very fast.
    After few days, I started change something, so I verified my own website with Google, then submit the sitemap into Google Webmaster Tools. -> My website has gone away first pages. Where it gone? I do not know. ?? Eventually, everthing are bad. Google only indexed some posts. And it also very slowly. My website: https://www.devreveal.com/
    So, my question is: What happened with my site? And is that better than if we should not change website’s file and generate, submit sitemap?

  • What happened with my site?

    You’d have to ask Google. It’s their systems that do the rankings, and no one outside of them fully knows how they work.

    After few days, I started change something

    Changing what? URL’s? Page content? Images? SPAM links? Outbound links? etc, etc, etc… There could be one of millions of things that you’ve done that could cause something like this. Again, there’s no wy for anyone here to know.

    Thanks for your respond, actually, I am wondering why Google indexed my site so fast when I have not submitted sitemap to GWT yet. After changed something means change URL, keywords, images, categories, …. And after submitted the sitemap, all of links will not show on search results. That means do not submit the sitemap is better? Have anyone got this situation yet?

    Again, you’d have to ask Google.

    The only thing that I could say is that I have seen Google index some sites fast right at the start, and then back off after a small-ish amount of time. It also does make a difference when you change keywords, meta tags, etc as Google sees that as major structural changes to try and get rankings out of them, so making big changes all at once can effectly “kill” a site in the search results for a little while. It has nothing at all to do with submitting or not subimtting a site map.

    As with any other SEO, the key is patience. You can’t make changes and have everything re-indexed and wonderful instantly. Any good SEO campaign will take 6 to 12 months, and it’s done incrementally. Just wait it out and you’ll see the rankings rise, but you need to be patient.
