    Default Blog Not Indexing Anymore

    My blog posts from ryanmartinrealestate dot com/blog have gone from being indexed within 30 minutes to now taking days. Has anybody else noticed something like this? In the past, my posts would typically rank #1 for the title tag (assuming it was not very competitive) within 30 minutes of posting. I'm just curious if others are noticing a change in the algo, or if I did something wrong.

    Ryan, did you let a abnormally long period lapse without posting? I had a blog that indexed for just about anything I posted on in under 30 minutes start taking more than a week cause I went almost a month without posting when I had been posting at least every week.

    @James ~ No, I haven't done anything different. Maybe its just a glitch, or maybe G is just making some tweaks to their algo and I got sniped?

    Ryan, the problem is that you have a lot of duplicate content being produced on your blog. Also, you're not using the "more tag" on blog posts (which puts part of the blog on the main page of your blog and the full blog post on the blog post page).

    The problem is that when you post, the full blog post is both on the main page of the blog (ryanmartinrealestate.com/blog AND on the actual blog post page AND on your category pages AND on your date archive pages...and soforth). So, Google is "picking one" of them, which tends to be the one that they crawl first, the ryanmartinrealestate.com/blog page. Since that page most likely has the most links and the highest PR, that's what they index: and all the duplicate content is ignored, like your actual blog post.

    I suggest that you remove all the duplicate content on your blog and start using the "more tag" on your blog posts.

    That sounds more like the problem Bill. I just eliminated the archive pages and I will look into restructuring my blog (with changing my permalinks). Thanks for looking into for me.

    No problem, glad to help.

    Keep in mind that you can also update your robots.txt file to disallow all the duplicate content your blog generates, that way you don't have to change or update your template/theme.

    Hey Ryan the seo all-in-one plugin makes it easy to set this stuff up, don't forget to choose tags or categories to be indexed and noindex the other one.

    I also have seen my new blog posts slow to get indexed. Too early to tell if it is a trend or not though.
