I tried to search for one of my mods on Google, the one I removed on Nexus, everything appears, Nexus (where the mod is not there and in fact it says "removed by the author) it finds me on YouTube, but ITCH.IO does not appear, it does not appear where I put the mod... but why does this happen? What is happening are we being sabotaged by someone?Someone who perhaps loves other sites and participates for them by sabotaging our accounts? It seems too, TOO strange to me...

Please read the rules before posting. This belongs in Questions & Support.

I have no clue what you are talking about. Especially the conspiracy theory stuff. And doubly so, because your things do appear on google.

If your specific search terms do not make your things appear on Google's first results, that means that Google prioritizes other results for those search terms. There is a whole industry dealing with SEO and search engines have their own ways of not being manipulated.

#1 Your Itch account

#2 Your Nexus Mods

#3 A specif mod of your's on Itch

#4 Your Nexus again

#5 Youtube about your things

https://www.google.com/search?q=lonely-visual+mods

Above the results are videos about mods. Not your's.

#1 A specifc mod of your's on Itch

#2 Your Itch account.

#3 Nexus, but not you.

#4 Youtube about your things

#5 Redit (not related to you, I think about the mods on #3).

Mine was a vent, I wasn't asking for support, however if I type "enemy RESPAWN" in searches I don't appear

enemy RESPAWN Lonely-Visual brings your thing up first in search engines.

enemy and respawn are very common words.

Ok,They are very common, but it still refers only to games, "enemy respawn" as found by Nexus above, should have found itch.io too, I love this site, and I will make it even more BIG 

I think there might be a language barrier somewhere in between us.

If you search for a thing like enemy respawn without context, the search engine will probably explain to you, what this is or list trending discussions about that. It is a common concept in games. As far as search terms go, it is as bland and generic as searching for

friendly fire

spawn camper

ability cooldown

The barrier depends on not wanting to understand, if I write a search and a site where the mod is available comes up, but the other site where the mod is available doesn't appear in the searches either, then there's a problem...

Nah. You do not use the grammar I am familiar with. I get what you saying, at least I think so, but it just makes little sense. If you do not add nexus or mod plus a game name, your things are bound to not come up in search. Argueing about any lack of discoverablity because of this trivial fact is rather strange.

mod and enemy spawn will show you mods for the most popular game, Minecraft. While nexus will focus on mods on nexus, it will still show the most popular modded game there, which is Skyrim I guess.

Also, if I search Enemy Respawn Resident Evil Requiem, your things do show up, including the Itch page. So I do not understand the premise of your thread.

(Try searching in a private browser window when searching with google. Fresh cookies. Google might adjust your results based on your previous searches and rank certain things higher. The first page of results is not that long. Maybe the Itch page appears on page 2 or 3 for your search terms.)

Ho Joy,It's normal that if I write "Resident evil requiem enemy respawn" it comes up with what it finds, here it comes up with what it finds and I can assure you that if you Google it comes up with my mod which was previously on Nexus (Same mod I have here) But Nexus was in the searches, but itch.io WASN'T THERE, do you understand? That's why I said "it seems too strange to me", Nexus yes?! ITCH.IO no!?

Your mod is not called resident evil requiem enemy respawn it is called enemy respawn resident evil requiem

Try the name of your mod, or try adding the word mod after the "wrong" word order and the Itch page will appear. It appeared at #2 in my attempts.

Yes, now I got ITCH.IO....👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Out of curiosity, I tried to do as you say, but ITCH.IO does not appear in searches... and this makes me very sad, not only for me, but for all those who believe in the site,How many good authors will never be known because of this, so much so...
