Any of you have blogspot blog indexed in google? None of my blog pages is indexed, only the url is returned on a ggogle search.

My blog in blogspot cannot be crawled using any tool. I try to use Google Sitemap generator () and return no results. The ideia is to submit the result file to the new google tool Sitemap (https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html) to help google indexing my blog.

A concise, ordered troubleshooting checklist and gentle workflow for a Blogspot blog that "cannot be crawled" — expands on the thread comments from , , , , and with concrete technical checks and practical alternatives.

First checks (quick): confirm the blog is publicly visible in Blogger (Settings → Privacy), then fetch the blog's robots file and a few post URLs to verify HTTP status and headers. A private or readers-only blog disables crawling; a robots file or HTTP header can block crawlers before a sitemap ever helps. Useful references: and the general settings page for Crawlers and Indexing. ()

Meta tags and headers: view page source for any <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> or check for an X-Robots-Tag header. If present, search engines will skip indexing even if a sitemap exists; meta rules are authoritative for indexing and can prevent rendering of JavaScript changes. Quick commands to inspect: 

curl -I https://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/robots.txt
curl -I -A "Googlebot" https://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/path-to-post

See Google's guidance on robots/meta handling. (developers.google.com)

If sitemap-generator tools return no results: some generators are meant to run on the site's host and cannot crawl externally. Two practical alternatives: (A) generate a sitemap from the blog's RSS/Atom feed — Blogger exposes feeds at /feeds/posts/default (or ?alt=rss) — and Google accepts RSS/Atom as a sitemap; or (B) use an online crawler/desktop tool that can crawl external sites and export an XML sitemap you can submit. Guidance on sitemap formats and submission is here: Build and submit a sitemap (Google Search Central) and Blogger's feed docs. (developers.google.com)

After fixes: add the sitemap or feed URL to Search Console and use the Sitemaps report plus the URL Inspection tool (or the URL Inspection API) to test live fetches and see why specific URLs are blocked or not indexed. Submitting a sitemap is a strong hint, not a guarantee — monitor the Search Console reports for crawl errors and coverage issues and iterate from there. (developers.google.com)

My friends blogspot page is indexing fine and i`ve seen many blogspot pages being shown during searches , so it`s probably not the blogspot problem .
Try having site`s linked to your site which are now indexed in google

I doubt you can do it with Google SiteMaps because you need to be able to run python commands to even use sitemaps.

If the blogs aren't big then they won't have strong pagerank, which might affect the speed of indexing. Whenever I've launched a big site Google ranks it within two weeks. Yahoo tends to take forever.
