Google To Stop Supporting Public URL Submissions To Its Search Index (searchengineland.com)
Google announced this week that it is discontinuing the public method of submitting URLs to its search index. The "addurl" page, which is still listed in this help document, now redirects to the Google Search Console login page. From a report: Google Webmasters said, "We've had to drop the public submission feature." The company did not say why it was necessary to drop it. Maybe it has to do with spam issues or abuse. Google added, "... but we continue to welcome your submissions using the usual tool in Search Console and through sitemaps directly." The last time Google updated the submit content tool was back in 2012, when it moved it to the classic Google Webmaster Tools URL. Google says webmasters should submit content only through Search Console's Fetch as Google tool or via sitemaps.
Google is simply changing from Webmaster Tools to Search Console. One product is replacing the other, and they've been in this slow transition for about a year now. There is no reason for sensationalist news, its just a new name and new UI for the exact same feature set.
Dear Google, you could continue to offer the public URL submission page. Just because it is there doesn't mean it has to work or actually do anything. It just needs to appear as if it accepted the submission. Statistical analysis could identify patterns that identify spammers.
I'll see your senator, and I'll raise you two judges.
no surprise either that google only wants you to find sites and pages that they want you to.
where's the unedited, complete index of everything? and not the one curated and weighted by google 'policy' and without bogus takedown requests....
Real APK would never say "dude" bro
This test confirms it. They DO all look the same! It's not just my unchecked bias, a computer has the same problem telling minorities apart. But of course they will blame something else for this... Truth doesn't matter if it's not PC enough and doesn't virtue signal that "we're all the same! yay!!" even though the top 20% of colored people are still dumber ( IQ ) than half ( 50% ) of the white population. Oh, I forgot, that's because the IQ test is biased against "inner city" kids, but only if they're black.
It has done nothing at all for the last year any ways. I submitted a new company website and it was still not indexed 6mo later. I eventually used the search console submission tool and they indexed it after 2wk, but my site still doesn't fucking show up unless you google the domain name itself. I can search the entire company name and I get 20 pages of mostly unrelated crap, along with a handful of spots we show up on previously indexed sites, but it goes to 'sorry nothing left we haven't shown you' before ever displaying my domain.
Bing, duckduckgo, and every other search engine had the domain as first result within a month, but GOOG is just like fuck off.
Nope,
One program is VB... it needs those!
Yup, put my work down... at least it works man... AGAIN, for the 1000th time:
What have YOU done online to outrate my work?
Funny, I do not see any 5-5 star rated or published in books, magazines repeatedly since 1996 work you have done pal!
Sheesh... lol!
APK
Yup,
Sphincter... do a better one! I keep saying it because I KNOW The AMOUNT OF WORK that suite took over 2 years time!
Again, real simple:
Any of you guys, if you are SO good (and I come out of your backgrounds as a Network Admin on NT almost solely since 1993) do a better one, real easy right?
I am waiting... so is the world!
If you do, I commend you... honestly! Heck another good decent software is not going to harm anyone!
Question is: CAN YOU DO IT?
Sphincter? That a STUPID batch file... think I was going to waste time making that "high tech", lol... when all it does is register OLE servers if needed?
Get real... try real coding sometime... like I said batchboy network god.... lol, outwrite & outrate my work!
My challenge stands to YOUR ENTIRE FORUM in fact... outwrite me, team up if you all need to... it will take you a long time to even learn the code involved in it all or match anything like it!
I challenge you big talkers... let's see some action, not words... heck, that's what blowhards do... blow alot of wind!
APK
P.S.=> In all seriousness, my challenge to you all stands since you are SO able to cut up my work... write a program of the same size/magnitude & functionality levels that ENTIRE SUITE has... and get a 5-5 star outta ZDNet (think it's easy?) and I will eat it all like shit I would deserve... apk
Obligatory XKCD that you need to read and understand.
Share a URL, and we can probably tell you how you fucked up. Google indexes everybody else's sites just fine.
Fiefdoms and Internet Clubs for *Everyone!

Google Please Stop Playing With Seo.
People keep submitting conservative sites that google wants to censor without getting caught censoring things.
