Getting Google to index your Blosxom blog correctly # I originally asked (and answered) this question on Doctype, and reproduce it here (with slight modifications) for other Blosxom users: Blosxom creates multiple copies of the same entry in different directories. For example, a given entry would have: its own unique URL. a place in the topic index. a place in the month index. a place in the year index. I wanted Google to prefer the first entry, since it makes finding content easier. I tried using robots.txt to exclude indexing of the topic and date indexes, but then Google ignores or cannot find the unique URLs either. I ended up adding. to the blog index pages via this one-liner. find -name index.html -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's//\\n/g' at the end of my static publishing routine. That way, search engines can find the canonical URLs, but will ignore all of the topic and date index pages. UPDATE 1: Just found someone with the same issue who also solved it with \"noindex, follow\". UPDATE 2: After a few weeks Google was properly indexing my site, and continues to do so after more than a month. UPDATE 3: Another report of using robots meta tag to fix search engine indexing. /blosxom | Aug 13, 2010.
