   We are adding regular content everyday but for the past few weeks Google don't seem to index the new posts.

   Usually they were indexing within a few minutes.

   Can anyone help with this?

   Thanks.

   Get a Google account and use the Google Webmaster Tools to run a diagnostic on your site. It'll show if there are any crawl errors.

   Also, log into WP and under Settings -> Privacy, make sure your WP isn't blocking search engines.

   I have the same problem. New posts are not indexed. Have a google account, no crawl errors showing. Google ran throught the site on Nov 1st but the new posts are not indexed. WP settings are correct.

   Check your page source and be sure you don't still have a "no index, no follow" meta tag. And check for a robots.txt file that is blocking bots. Other than that, wait on Google.

   Already did. Don't have a nofollow,noindex tag. Wait for what? We were indexed immediately before, popped up number 1 after all new posts, now only the old ones show up.

   Try turning up Google's crawl rate in your sitemap account. Might work. Google also likes good original content, too, not aggregator content.

   We only have original content. I can try modifying the crawl rate but they crawled the site yesterday.

   I'd like to know what happened. I have read other similar posts as well, something happened...

   nazsit: Google can be very slow to index new sites, sometimes taking a week or more to do so. They did recently announce that they are now using site feeds for discovering and indexing, so make sure that you have WordPress set to ping update services (Dashboard -> Settings -> Writing). I'm not sure if they gather info from Google Reader, but you could try subscribing to your site in Google Reader as well.

   To see if your site is in Google, try this search with your own domain: site:example.com

    The blog is NOT new. It's been around - and well indexed - since 2006.

    Google just recently stopped indexing new posts. Google is crawling the site just not adding the new posts.

    If your site is not new and Google stops indexing or starts dropping indexed pages from its index, then check with Google Webmaster Tools for any site issues (malware, penalties, URL unreachable errors, robots.txt problems, etc.). I had this exact problem at one web host due to network unreachable and robots.txt file unreachable errors.
