Created a blogger blog posted post doing nothing

If you’ve created a Blogger blog and published posts but aren’t actively doing anything (like promoting your blog or getting backlinks), Google can still find and index your blog. However, it might take some time for Google to discover and index it, especially if you’re not actively promoting it or submitting it to search engines.

Here’s how Google can eventually discover and index your blog without doing much:

How Google Finds Your Blogger Blog:

1. Blogger is Owned by Google: Since Blogger is owned by Google, your blog may be discovered and indexed a bit faster than other websites because Google already has a strong presence on the platform. Googlebot is likely to crawl Blogger pages more frequently.

2. Googlebot Crawling the Web: Googlebot will eventually find your blog through a variety of means, such as crawling the Blogger platform or discovering it through mentions or links from other websites (even if you don’t have backlinks yet).

3. Content and Structure: Googlebot may also discover your blog by crawling the structure of the Blogger platform. If you create high-quality, valuable posts, Google is more likely to find and index your blog over time.

Steps to Help Google Index Your Blog Faster (Even Without Active Promotion):

1. Ensure Your Posts Are Public:

   • Make sure your posts are set to public on Blogger, so Googlebot can access and crawl them.

2. Create a Sitemap for Your Blog:

   • Blogger automatically generates a sitemap for your blog. You can check it by visiting https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml. This helps Google discover and index your posts more easily.

   • You can add this sitemap to Google Search Console (if you decide to set up an account later), but even without that, Google can still use the sitemap to find your posts.

3. Internal Linking:

   • Link your blog posts to each other. This helps Googlebot crawl your blog more efficiently. For example, in your posts, link to other relevant posts within your blog. This increases the likelihood that Googlebot will crawl all your posts.

4. Use Labels (Tags) Wisely:

   • Labels (tags) in Blogger can act as internal links to categorize your content. Using labels properly can help Googlebot understand your content and index your pages more effectively.

5. Promote Your Blog a Little:

   • Share your posts: Even if you don’t want to focus on social media, sharing your blog posts on a few platforms (like Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn) will help Google discover your blog. Even a few links from social platforms can help Google find your content.

6. Create High-Quality Content:

   • Google loves fresh, valuable content. By regularly posting useful, well-written articles, you increase the chances of your blog being discovered and indexed.

7. Wait for Google to Crawl:

   • Over time, Googlebot will crawl the web and discover your blog. Depending on your niche and the quality of your content, it might take days, weeks, or even longer.

How Long Does It Take for Google to Index Your Blog?

• Without backlinks or promotion, it could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for Google to index your blog. The exact timing depends on factors like your content's quality, the frequency of new content, and how Googlebot is crawling the web at that time.

• If you want to speed up the process, submitting your blog to Google Search Console and submitting the sitemap there can help speed up indexing.

Conclusion:

Even if you're doing nothing actively to promote your Blogger blog, Google can still find and index your posts, but the process might be slower. To help speed things up, make sure your posts are public, use internal links, and publish quality content regularly. Over time, Google will discover your blog and start indexing it.

If you want faster indexing and better control, setting up Google Search Console and submitting your sitemap is a good step, but it’s not strictly necessary for Google to find and index your posts.
