I have a more serious problem. After moving by blog from Blogger to WordPress, Google stopped indexing my new posts. Not only that but the old posts are also not indexed anymore. I told the search engines not to index the old blog on Blogger, but I don't know why they are not indexed from my WordPress blog. I did redirect my posts to a new permalink (even that has its own issues). Even when I search the exact title of my posts, it can't be found on google. My traffic has come to a crawl because of it. The website is www.autotribute.com. I have a test site, www.autotribute.net, that gets indexed in seconds (I didn't redirect this one from Blogger). I just don't know what the problem is. If it's of any help, I have noticed that my WordPress blog is still using the Blogger favicon. Could that mean anything? Your help will be appreciated.
Add quality posts and try out getting fresh backlinks to the new blog, also add all in seo pack plugin and customize it, hope this will help.
You are faced the issued of Copy content your home page URL already get crawl but new algorithm is strictly against the copy content.
why are you having 2 different domains that has same site content? you need to get rid one of them. And if you want to keep both domains, just redirect one to another.
I don't think quality posts is the issue. I have more than 500 posts, which are good in quality to say the least. I have all the SEO plugins activated.
google is indexing your .net site and not .com site. do the blogger, .com and .net all have the same content? then thats the issue as google will not index duplicate content. even if they index, they will be removed form indexing over time. take off your test site and just keep the .com version. then do some social bookmarking to get your site indexed. you can also ping pingomatic and pingoat your wordpress rss feed. you can add your feed on DP recent blog feed as well
I added a robot text yesterday (although I shouldn't need to add one); I checked it today and it's still contains only: User-agent: * Allow: /
In wordpress there is a setting that allows SE's to crawl your site. The default is off, I believe it is under general settings.
No. The .net site only has 9 posts, although the titles might be similar if not the same (the content is just random gibberish that I wrote just to have some posts on the homepage. It is my test blog after all). But I will remove the .net site to see if it works.
As a reminder, autotribute.com is the real blog with more that 500 posts of respectable quality; autotribute.net is a test blog with only 9 posts of absolutely no quality (just random gibberish).
If i were you, i will leave and delete blogger, and move everything to Wordpress. Really, you can't do much with blogger, less optimization. The thing is that you will lose traffics, its like start everything from the beginning. but i think google will pick up again.
Seems fine. Your most recent post has just been indexed. One problem, your Google webmaster verification code is in your body, not the head: <meta name="verify-v1" content="/mIGrLGM9PsFdHyq2Mc2fvqZIwVr5f7mnR0PgWQbUhM=" />
I have already done that. I told google not to index by Blogger blog, but I haven't deleted the blog itself.
Ever since I deleted autotribute.net (although I had already told the search engines not to index it), I have seen that some my posts are indexed. I have moved my webmaster verification to the header like you said. Thanks.
Hello, i think if you can bookmark your blogs URL than you get more back links Please use good bookmarking sites like reedit,folkd,twitter etc.And one more thing please don't use duplicate content.Its not good for any blog or site. Thanks
