Hello I've got a wordpress ver 2.3 blog at www.usuxxors.com . It has a feedburner feed at feeds.feedburner.com/usuxxors as well as the normal feed at www.usuxxors.com/feed . For the past few months, no blog services will index the blog's posts in their database. Looking at Icerocket, the last time one of my posts were indexed was on October 8th and before that only a couple posts are in the database. I'm having this same problem with every other service I try, be it Technorati, Google Blogsearch, all of them. I can't see how I could be banned from any of these services as Technorati continues to show updated headlines on my blog in my account and I get plenty of search engine hits from Google itself. I receive no traffic from any service that accepts pings, whether they be through feedburner's pingshot service or if I do it manually using my regular feed. Looking at feedburner, the bots from all of these services are hitting my feed and appear to be checking it out, they just won't index. The blog's been up and running since August. I recently moved web hosts but the problem continues to persist. For a couple months I've been pulling my hair out trying to determine the problem and I'm totally at a loss at this point. I have a couple other blogs where pinging seems to work as it's supposed to and my posts get index. It's just this one blog. I've searched everywhere and now I'm completely out of ideas so I'm humbly asking if anyone has any theories whatsoever as to what the problem could be. I'd be very, very thankful for any information I could get at this point.
I shuld say the simplest thing here is Look at the privacy settings. if your privacy settings of the blog prohibits all the bots how would they index your blog . I had same problem one of my blogs was properly indexed and other was not because of the simple thing I never looked at the privacy settings of the blog
Technorati is not updating post alot and it is hard to submit new ones. They seem to have been having problems for months now.
I had that idea too, but it's checked to allow the blog to be visible to all search bots. I've heard about Technorati's issues as well, actually went to their support forum looking for ideas because I couldn't get support to respond by email. They told me my posts are indexed and they appear to be when I'm logged in, but if I'm not logged in they don't show up in the index. Still doesn't explain all the other services not indexing me though. I'm actually starting to wonder if I am somehow banned but I've never come close to ping spamming. I even went so far as to turn off wordpress' automatic ping before I even started posting on the blog.
