Tammy Zywicki Blog: Why does my blog entries not appear on search engines even though I have it set to appear

Question

I had some blog entries on an old cold case about a college student who was abducted and murdered in August 1992. I thought my blog would be searchable but I cannot even find it. I have the blog set to be crawled by search engines. So what is wrong? I went with blogger.com

Answer 1

Not sure I can give you a complete answer without really studying your blog and code.

That being said, running a blog on other sites hosting your blog is not a good idea for search engine indexing. Search engines can find blogger.com but if they have a "rel="nofollow" in their code then search engines won't spider in that area.

To get indexed better, you should host your blog on your own web hosting account.
