thanks, all these are negative, I still recieve traffic from google from my older posts but the last one I wrote some days has not been indexed so no traffic from google for that topic but I get from other engines.


imagine since 12th no crawling whereas some guy's site gets crawled every 5 minutes, I smell double standard
I once had this same problem, if it is a blog you must have to look into your theme or template, or you better change it.

But if it is a website, then you also need to look into your codes, cos must at times codes affect your google crawling.

Hope your website has not been penalized.

Type this into d search engine "site:yourwebsite.com" if your posts comes up in d search results then your website is indexed. If not it has been penalized.

There's a google update supposedly underway. If this is d case, give it a couple of days.

since 12th of this month google has not been indexing/crawling my site.

normally it takes them highest of 2 days to index but till now(6th day) they've not.

I've written a new post but not yet indexed by Google but I recieve search traffic from other search engines.


please who knows a way out of this or the cause should help me.

thanks in advance

wait a minute...being indexed and receiving google traffic are two different tins. One means ur website shows up in google while the other means u are ranking for some keywords/phrases. You can be indexed and still not receive traffic because nobody is searching for the keywords/phrases in your post OR u ar located in 100th page of Google's search results for ur keyword/phrase which pple dont bother to get to.

Which one is your case??

If you've made major changes to your site, then they'll actually queue the site for re-crawling and they'll start all over
Re: Help Me Out! Google Stopped Indexing/crawling My Site by Nobody: 9:26am On Oct 21, 2014
Google might have blacklisted your domain...if not, have you created and submitted your sitemap? There's something blocking google bot from surfing through your pages. Use feedthebot.com to check if googlebot can access your pages, I also recommend fetch as google via webmaster tools.... If problem persists, be sure to check your robots.txt file, e.g sitename.com/robots.txt and check if google bot has been allowed... You can allow all bots + googlebot by inserting this crawler code into your robots.txt file without quotes: "User- agent: * Disallow: /"

I think that should solve it. Google takes maximum of 2hrs to index pages I think...
And next time you post this include your site URL so that we can find a direct solution.... How can we know what's inside a sea without swimming inside? I'm female coder anyway....
If you need tips on SEO mail me... ;-)

Is your website on wordpress or joomla? If not, what platform is it on?.

Verify your ownership of the site from the webmasters tools sections.

Check crawling and indexing activities.

Well,I'm hoping you obey Google policies(original content,etc) and if you don't, I hope the Panda update didn't catch you... If yes, then make sure you have a sitemap... Sumbit you website to Google and Bing through your Google and Bing webmaster tools account... You can also use the fetch as Google tool to sumbit your articles to Google to index... Use the power of social media and create more power links to your site...
eeerm... tell me,
how do I know I've been hit by google panda

This is the method i use each time to make Google crawl and index my post with 24 hours of publishing. Sometimes Google index my post within 5 to 10 minutes each time i do it http://www.cyracksinternetbiz.com/2013/11/make-google-crawl-and-index-your-website.html

I've done something like this before.

dis is strange moreso because Google owns and loves blogger. Check to see if u still have d option of search discovery on blogger enabled. U find it in settings in d dashboard. Bt i blive ur blog might have been penalized. Do some social media promotion and see what happens.

Check if u have any offending posts...containing porn, nude pics, offensive words, etc

Remove any copied content...if u must use other pples content...rewrite it and make it unique.

In other words u have to troubleshoot.

There is a story goin around (am not sure though) dat Google is cracking down on blogger blogs due to spam. Many of dem have dropped in ranking.

Ur post is indexed na. Google has crawled ur site my bro bt ur site probably has dropped in ranking. Dats why u ar not receiving much traffic from google. Keep posting original and unique content am sure it will recover. Set up a facebook page, twitter and youtube acct linked to ur blog. This will help a lot in boosting ur blog in d eyes of google.
