Phase 1: Daily Status Check

Time Required: 5-10 minutes daily

Step 1.1: Access Campaign Dashboard

  1. Log in to Omega Indexer
  2. Navigate to Campaigns
  3. Locate your active campaign(s)

Step 1.2: Review Status Breakdown

Record the following metrics:

MetricWhat to Record
Total URLsOriginal submission count
In QueueURLs waiting for processing
IndexableURLs validated, being submitted
Non-IndexableFailed validation (refunded)
IndexedSuccessfully indexed
Not IndexedSubmitted but not indexed yet

Step 1.3: Calculate Key Metrics

Processing Progress = (Indexed + Not Indexed + Non-Indexable) / Total × 100%

Current Success Rate = Indexed / (Indexed + Not Indexed) × 100%

Validation Rate = Indexable / Total × 100%

Phase 2: Track Progress Over Time

Monitoring Spreadsheet Template

Create a tracking sheet:

DayDateIn QueueIndexableNon-IndexIndexedNot IndexedNotes
1Dec 12000000Submitted
2Dec 215050000Processing
3Dec 301802000Validation done

API Monitoring

If using API, implement:

javascript
// Pseudo-code for automated monitoring
async function monitorCampaign(campaignId) {
  const status = await getCampaignStatus(campaignId);

  if (status.nonIndexable > status.total * 0.2) {
    alert('High non-indexable rate detected');
  }

  if (status.indexed > 0 && status.daysSinceStart >= 3) {
    log(`Day ${status.daysSinceStart}: ${status.indexed} indexed`);
  }

  if (status.complete) {
    generateReport(status);
  }
}
