If you're experiencing issues with page indexing on your Blogger site, here are some common causes and fixes to help resolve them:
1. Check for Noindex Tags
- Ensure that your pages are not accidentally marked as
noindex, which tells Google not to index them.- In Blogger, go to your Blogger Dashboard > Settings > Search Preferences.
- Check the Meta Tags section and ensure Custom Robots Tags is set to No.
- If there’s a “noindex” tag in the
<head>section of your HTML, remove it.
2. Fix Robots.txt File
- In Blogger, the default robots.txt file could block some pages from being indexed.
- Go to Settings > Search Preferences > Crawlers and Indexing > Edit robots.txt.
- Ensure that you’re not blocking important pages like
/p/*(pages),/search/*(search results), or other key content. - Example robots.txt for Blogger:
3. Check for Crawl Errors
- Use Google Search Console to find any crawl errors.
- Go to Coverage in Google Search Console.
- Check for “Crawled - currently not indexed” status and any errors preventing indexing.
- Fix issues based on the specific error message (e.g., soft 404, redirect loop, or server errors).
4. Review Content Quality
- Google might not index low-quality pages or duplicate content.
- Ensure your content is original, valuable, and not overly similar to other pages.
- Avoid “thin” pages with minimal content; these might not be indexed.
5. Submit Sitemap in Google Search Console
- Ensure your Blogger site has a sitemap submitted to Google Search Console.
- Go to Google Search Console > Sitemaps and submit the URL:
https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml. - Blogger automatically generates a sitemap for you.
- Go to Google Search Console > Sitemaps and submit the URL:
6. Ensure Proper Internal Linking
- Link to the affected pages from other important pages on your website.
- Internal linking helps Google discover and index pages more efficiently.
7. Improve Page Speed
- Slow-loading pages may not be indexed promptly or correctly.
- Use Google PageSpeed Insights to analyze and improve your site’s load times.
- Optimize images, reduce script-heavy content, and make sure your website is mobile-friendly.
8. Check for URL Parameters
- Ensure you’re not generating unnecessary duplicate URLs with parameters (e.g.,
/page/2/or/?start=20). - If your site has URL parameters, you can manage them in Google Search Console under Settings > URL Parameters.
9. Use URL Inspection Tool
- In Google Search Console, use the URL Inspection Tool to request indexing for specific pages.
- Paste the URL of the page you want indexed, and click Request Indexing.
- Monitor the status for any indexing issues.
10. Avoid Duplicate Content Issues
- Ensure that pages do not have duplicated content from other websites or your own blog. You can use Canonical tags in the HTML of your posts to indicate the preferred version of a page.
Next Steps After Fixes:
- After making these changes, go to Google Search Console and request indexing for the pages that aren't indexed.
- You can also use the Inspect URL tool to submit a new URL or page for re-crawling.
