Robots.txt file blocking sitemap generator.
I just sent you an email with urls, but am repeating here so others can benefit as well.
If you run the sitemap generator and tell it to NOT respect the robots.txt file, you'll index your site.
You have a robots.txt file that tells all search engines to stay away from your site and my sitemap generator respects that by default. Here are the contents of your robots.txt file:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Noindex: /(snip)
Disallow: /
The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.
If you want your site indexed (beside changing your robots.txt file), you would do well to have your own site other than blogger, something like wordpress on an inexpensive host. With blogger, you are building up your site, but google will always associate it with blogger. If you have your own domain, then it will always be yours.
Actually, you can buy your own domain name, pay wordpress $15 per year to host your site and map that domain to your wordpress account. So, $15 + 8 for the domain would be a total of $23 for a year of hosting!
Best regards - and thanks again!
Jim.
