I’m running a simple but interesting SEO experiment and I want your predictions.
I’ve just published a blog post 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡.
No topic validation.
No search volume analysis.
No competition check.
In fact, this blog is 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞.
Here’s what I 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 do on purpose:
The content is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝
The information is 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞
No proper 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞
No 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
No images
No internal links (incoming or outgoing)
No external links
I did 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠
No optimization at all
This topic idea came to my mind randomly, and I decided to publish it exactly as it was unfinished.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭.?
This experiment is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠.
We all know that ranking comes later.
This experiment is only about the 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐄𝐎:
𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠
𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠
> 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞, 𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞.?
If this incomplete blog gets indexed, it proves an important point:
Indexing is not dependent on “𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭” content
Crawling and indexing happen before quality evaluation
Optimization mainly affects ranking, not discovery
The post is already live
I will 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬
I will 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠
I will wait 𝟐𝟒 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬
After 24 hours, I’ll check whether Google indexed it or not
Before I check the results, I want *your prediction*:
❓ Will this incomplete content get indexed?
❓ Or will Google ignore it completely?
Note the time.
We’ll meet again after 𝟐𝟒 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 with the results.
This experiment is purely for learning and understanding how crawling and indexing actually work beyond theories.
