MyLot Discussions Go To Google - Or Do They?

Some members delete their discussions the moment they've accumulated the desired amount of Likes and Comments. I save all discussions I've ever written on the many sites I've been on - which have all died over the years (not my fault!). English is not my native language and I put some effort into my posts. Besides, I find my posts so worth reading that as many people as possible should have the chance of doing so, heehee!
Each to their own.
In order not to post the same text twice by mistake, I check my texts on google to see if I've already posted them on myLot or not. With 391 discussions up to now it's too much for my aging brain to recall if they're somewhere in my list or if they look familiar because I remember them from other sites.
I usually find them on google. Yet, it has happened more than once that I could not find them on google but I could have sworn that I had already posted them on myLot. I've done what I try to avoid and gone through my long list of posts. And indeed, I've found the posts in question and am puzzled.
Can anybody explain the mystery why some posts don't make it to google while the majority does?

@maluse I’m one of those who delete their posts after a while. I do so in case some nefarious scoundrel recognises my literary genius and publishes them under his or her own name elsewhere and becomes an overnight sensation, making lots of money that should be mine.

Maybe what you do is wise. I don't delete my posts and what is the result? I find some of them plagiarised all over the net on obscure sites. I've written letters of complaint but never got an answer. Of course, I don't hire a lawyer and sue a company on a different continent for one post.

I don't delete many of my posts. Some that are time sensitive or that become redundant get deleted. Old discussions still get comments from time to time.
Once, in a snit, I deleted a large number in a short period of time.

I have never deleted any of the discussions that I have posted regardless of amount of responses or likes they have evoked.
