Google not indexing my blog?

[Mike7089]

It doesn't seem like google is properly indexing my blog.
My blog called Brain Stimulant. It's on blogger and the address
is Brain Stimulant.

If you do a search in google with Brain Stimulant
it doesn't come back with the title of the blog, it just shows the adress but not the name:
brainstimulant.blogspot.com - Google Search

A couple of weeks ago google was giving the title of the blog when
searched for, and google had indexed all of my posts. It also had a
"More results from brainstimulant.blogspot.com »" button underneath,
but now that is not there and a lot of my blog posts don't seem to
be indexed and can't be found on google. The ones that can be found are on the fifth page of google.

My blog is also not showing
up on google blog search:

A couple weeks ago I had added feedburner to my blog. I had it set so
it would ping several services everytime I updated. After I made a
post, though, I would often have to make a lot of corrections, so I
think I may have accidently caused it to excessively ping. I had
deactivated the automatic pinging about 5 days ago so it shouldn't do
that any more. However google is still not indexing my blog.

Is there any way to fix this so that google will index it. I used to
get some traffic from google, but now I don't get any traffic at all.
It seems like google is not indexing my blog properly like it was a
couple weeks ago, even though the traffic is higher and the technorati
rank is better now. I don't know what to do to improve it.

My rank on technorati is 688,970.

Blog Not Getting Indexed in Google is something I can related to. I had one that never got indexed I gave up looked 4 months later and sure enough it was indexed with PR... It IS frustrating though and there is no certainty.

Regarding the excessive pinging... That could be something as I once did the same thing you described and technorati started straight up ignoring my blog lol.

I noticed your on blogspot... I'd just start another one and go about it differently as your blog is still new and since you don't own the blog technically it's not that big a deal if you switch now. That or just keep plugging away. Either way I can relate.

Best of luck keep us posted,

It does seem like it's indexed, but not very high in the SERPs for "Brain Stimulant" which doesn't seem like an overly competitive keyword to me. I'd say just be patient, or possibly move to a self-hosted blog with your own domain name if it's not too much trouble - which may help.

Be patient yes, soon it'll rank well enough. Type in site:brainstimulant.blogspot.com into google to see if your pages are indexed.

Crap indeed... I'd have patience, and keep adding it to google

[thegypsy]

well your site is indexed (nearly 60 pages at least); site:brainstimulant.blogspot.com - Google Search

If anything it is like you are link light; Yahoo! Site Explorer

Not sure what the link texts, page titles and page age for the links are, but generally speaking it looks like you need more and targeted ones. To understand valuations of links... read this; Search Engine Optimization | SEO Strategies, News and Rants in a Blog

Your Technorati is a bit light..and does give some insight into link texts as well. The tighter the targeting of the link text (and quality of the page) the easier it to rank ofr a given phrase... But even there (Technorati numbers) ... a ways to go ( my Blog is around 230 in authority).

If you can produce a few foundation posts and get them infront of the market hot spots (media sites, social networking/bookmarking) it can nt only build your brand/authority, but create a lot of good links. Make sure to use the target terms in the title of the post as folks tend to link by;

a. your name
b. your blog name
c. the Title of the post.

I know from experience, getting coverage from places like TechCrunch can lead to a ton of secondary links... so find the authority media sites in your market... target them.


In the end, much of indexation is based on links. This is one of the factors used in deciding crawl and idexation rates.

I logged into google webmaster and submitted a sitemap for my blog, so I think that is why it's showing up better now.

On the google page rank prediction tool, it predicts my future page rank as being 4 (currently it's at 0).

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
