Bug! In FTP blogger blogs - do check your ftp blog!

    I don't know if this has been mentioned earlier here.

    But if you have a blogger-powered FTP blog, check your blog source code to see if Blogger has added a Robots Noindex, nofollow tag to your HEAD.

    Seems this is a bug. I have been wondering why my blog pages were not crawled anymore and were getting deindexed for the last two weeks. My site never had a ROBOTS.TXT, so I never thought it would be that.

    The bug adds the Noindex, nofollow to your blog page source code.

    Easy to fix. Open our template, remove the tag that says <$blogmetadata$> or something like that -- and republish. It will be fixed.

    Thank you, and happy blogging!

    Pah, Blogger really is pants. With all the money G has to spend on R&D you think they'd roll out a decent end product after the beta testing.
