Does Google Index Previos Posts?

[alakalaka99]

Just recently I decided to change the URL of my Blogger blog. In doing so, I made my previous blog URL simply display a redirect to the new URL. The old URL, Macksimum Rage Redirect , seemed ill fitting to me, and it was only that because it was my username. I have now run into a problem.

I registered my new URL, Macksimum Rage , (in which the blog content stayed exactly the same as the old URL, only a few links, meta tags, and feeds were changed) with Google, and it is now showing up. But only posts that I have made since I submitted it are indexed with Google.

I am wondering whether all the 700+ posts I made previous to my URL change will eventually be indexed on Google, or if there is some way to make it so they are. Currently, all my old posts from my old URL still show up in search results, while they are not actual pages on the blog anymore, and my new URL shows none of the ones from it.

Hopefully someone can make some sense out of this predicament.

In the search results when you click on the OLD link does it redirect you to the new place?

It may take a little time, I had to do that a few months back - Submit a sitemap to Google in the Webmaster Tools - that can give it a little extra push

No, they do not redirect. I'm not sure how that would be done either.

And I have also submitted a Site Map just recently, hopefully that does the trick.

I know in wordpress they call it domain mapping, I am not sure on the blogger platform though - It completely redirected each post to the new domain - it just took a little bit to see the results come back with the new domain name.

OK so here's an update. Every once in a while I will check my indexed pages in Google using site:macksimumrage.blogspot.com . Now, it seems like every other day there will be 50 or so links to a bunch of my pages, with all the same titles and descriptions (for which I have added code to make the titles display the post name) then the next day it will go back to displaying four or five. Any reason for this? Or will it only take time to get Google to properly display everything? Would deleting all my old URLs Google pages help?

Thanks.
