WTNMarket IndexNow change classifier
Classify WTNMarket page edits so IndexNow notifications cover meaningful changes only. This guide treats WTN Market and WTNMarket search terms as research labels, not as proof that a destination is official or safe.
Define material changes
A new guide, corrected source, changed public status or revised canonical is material. Whitespace, build timestamps and unrelated asset updates normally are not.
Document the classification before deployment so notification scope is predictable.
Map edits to canonical URLs
List the public pages whose visible meaning changed. Include an index page only when its content or links were altered by the release.
Never submit admin, preview, redirect or noncanonical URLs.
Keep a site-specific key
The WTNMarket IndexNow key and public key file should belong only to this site. Validate the key location before sending the URL list.
Separate keys reduce accidental cross-site submissions and simplify audit records.
Record acceptance and follow-up
Save the submission time, URL count and response class. Acceptance confirms receipt, not crawling or indexing.
Use Bing reports later to check discovery and resolve any canonical or robots conflict.
Frequently asked questions
Is a CSS-only edit an IndexNow event?
Usually not unless it materially changes visible content or accessibility.
Does IndexNow acceptance guarantee indexing?
No. It confirms notification receipt while indexing remains a search-engine decision.
