My game isn't indexing.

Launched the other day, was ranking decently high on popular, now it's deindexed. Any idea how you can figure out how and why you were deindexed? Is this a support matter?

Thanks!

I can check for you. It was put back into the review queue, likely due to a recent change. You probably just have to wait a few days again.

Hey NoTime, can you see if the game is still in the review queue? I've not heard back from support yet.

Thanks.

Yes. I had last checked less than a day ago.

Ok, thanks for checking that out.

After release I did see another game with the same name. Due to this, I'm changing my game's name this evening.

When I do this, will the game retain all the performance data that had its 'old' rank, or will it be treated as brand new and put back into 'new'?

Thanks!

Update: I have changed the name.

Is it an issue that I'm keeping the old url (it has some high volume backlinks).

Still unindexed btw :(

Thanks.

I don't know if and how renaming a project affects ranking. It shouldn't, but dunno. And please reply to my posts directly, I almost missed your follow-up questions.

That's a relief! Hopefully it isn't invisible andI miss the wave I was getting from launch.

I logged a ticket (122122) about the issue. I'd really appreciate an admin looking into this. I'm concerned if it starts indexing again next week the game will have missed a window to have a boost in the rankings.
