New Blog Posts not getting Indexed in Google

    Hello All,

    I am the owner of a Sports Blog ( Link )(Wordpress Based) that I started about 3 months back. I used to use the Arthemia Premium theme for the first month of the site. My site was SEO Friendly and getting ranked very well in search engines, almost always in the top 10 in Primary Search Engines.

    Then about 2 months back, I switched to a custom wordpress theme that I got designed from 99designs.com. I am using the All in one SEO Plugin.

    To my surprise now, the site is not getting indexed at all even if I copy and paste the exact post title to google search engine. I checked my robots.txt and everything was fine. What else do you suggest I should look into.

    I have even added the following meta tag as shown below in my single.php

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, FOLLOW">

    Is it something got to do with the theme. When I checked my Google Webmasters Account, only about 456 out of 550 posts are indexed from sitemap (it says)

    Please advice on how I must take it from here,

    Awaiting your help,

    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Nuklear

    How many posts, pages, tags and categories were indexed prior to the theme switch? ( % wise)

    I doubt it has something to do with a change in theme though.

    Do you still get the rankings and traffic you used to get for your previous posts?
