Why Search Engines Spiders are not crawling/Indexing your Website/Blog Posts?

For people who are asking “what is the reason not to show cache of a website”, here is a brief rundown of possible explanations.

Google does not provide any guarantees or promises that will crawl or index your blog stuff. You must keep maintaining your blogs content to enter into Google boundaries. Google does not have any human workers for crawling sites, they are using a computer algorithm for this purpose, and hence it must consider the factors such as Page Rank, Back Links etc. before crawling.

The another reason why your site is not cached in Google is the “ NoArchive” directive that you found in the settings. Turning that off effectively removes the “noarchive” directive from your pages. Google and other search engines will now cache your pages.

Does the “NoArchive” directive affect rankings or search visibility?

Not that. People sometimes use this directive to prevent search engines from copying their content for redistribution. That is, if you do something on your Web pages to prevent visitors from copying and pasting the content elsewhere, a search engine cache page can still be used to copy and paste the content. 

How long does Google take for indexing?

It depends on how your content interlinked, how often you update your site content. For new sites, it will take weeks or even months for indexing.

If Google not yet cached your blog after a month or two, try submitting the blog’s URL to Google yourself. To do this, Go to Google’s submit your content page. Click “Submit a URL” sign in with the email address and password associated with your blogger blog. Type the blog’s URL in the box, and then click “Submit your request”. It usually takes up to six weeks before Google indexes the blog.

After submitting, check your settings. Blogger allows you to opt your blog out of search engine results. If you accidentally enabled this option, Google never shows the blog in search results. Correct this by signing into your Blogger blog. Click "Settings" and view the Basic category. If the "No" box is checked next to "Let search engines find your blog," check the "Yes" box instead.

For older blogs, if you are still facing indexing problem, make sure you do not have internal or external duplication of contents. And do not rely on sitemaps, because they are optional. Make sure the contents can be searched via normal links.
