Nofollow and noindex in blogger blogs.

    Just two day back, I noticed that there is sudden decrease in my blog traffic (Technical Bliss) through Google. When I checked, I found the robot nofollow and noindex automatically inserted in the meta description of my blog. I havn't used that tags in my blog template.
    What I figured out that Blogger is automatically injecting those tags in my blog data.
    I have removed the line <$BlogMetaData$> from my blog template and replaced it with manual meta description. Its more than 50 hrs adn google havn't crawled my blog yet. I have mailed bogger team and am looking for some reply.

    I am not the only one who is facing this problem.
    I suggest all the DP members who are using blogger, to check there blog for the same.
    Just go to source code (not template) and check it out.
    If you find the line <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" /> in it, then your blog is also removed for search engines indexing.

    Also I will be highly thankful if some one helps me with this issue.

    I had the same issue with 2 of my blogs with classic template. I have removed the "no follow, no index" tag and it was crawled within a day. May be you should add one blog post and it will get crawled immediately.
