Index Blog Posts & Fix Discovered-Currently Not Indexed to get Google AdSense Approval 2022 | BAT#6

Welcome to Part 6 of Blogger + AdSense Tutorial series. You are going to learn how to get Google to index Blogger posts faster and learn how to submit sitemaps on Google Search Console. You may skip to each timestamp if you know how to set up these things already. Since this is a full steps-by-steps tutorial series, I will show you how to set up a simple blogger site and get Google AdSense approval. Let’s dive in right now. It’s been a few hours since I ended my recordings in Part 5 of the BAT s

eries, You can see there are 7 posts published at their scheduled time. All SOA Exam P posts and 1 out of 8 Exam IFM posts were published on my Blogger site. The next post scheduled to be published is at 12 A.M. later. This is how my Blogger site is looking now, simple and easy. Let me copy the link of my first blog post here and now let’s move on to indexing these published blog posts using Google Search Console. Paste the link beside the search icon and press enter to request indexing this blo

g post. But before that let me index the Blogger site first, I haven’t done it in the previous part. You can see my Blogger site is under “Discovered - Currently Not Indexed” with no sitemap, so press this “request indexing” to proceed. Wait for a moment and complete the reCAPTCHA, and this message means my Blogger URL was added to the queue and Google might start to look over my website. Press “Got It” to continue to my first blog post. Copy and paste the first blog post link and press enter ag

ain. This Blogger post has the same indexing status as my Blogger URL as both of them are under “Discovered - Currently Not Indexed” status. Press the "request indexing" again. The sitemaps status under Discover section down here is "Not applicable" , it means that I haven’t added any sitemaps inside this Google Search Console Account. You may add one or more sitemaps by clicking this section on the sidebar. If you don't have any sitemap, You can simply add a new sitemap by typing "sitemap.xml"

in this bar and press submit. So now there is one sitemap inside my GSC account under my Blogger site. However, I don’t like to add a single sitemap only. Instead, I’m using 4 sitemaps in this Blogger website, these sitemaps are: atom.xml , feeds, sitemap.xml and sitemap-pages.xml. The first three sitemaps are for blog posts while the last sitemap is for blog pages. The first two sitemaps here are RSS or Atom Feeds while the last two sitemaps are XML sitemaps. According to the recommendations pr

ovided by Google, it is best to use both XML sitemaps and RSS or Atom feeds for optimal crawling. XML sitemaps will give Google information about all of the pages on your site. RSS or Atom feeds will provide all updates on your site, helping Google to keep your content fresher in its index. You may visit the link provided in the description box to learn more about these sitemaps. Regardless of how many Sitemaps you have, XML sitemaps like sitemap.xml and sitemap-pages.xml are the best and only s

itemap you definitely need to use and add in Google Search Console. They are already good enough to let your Blogger website get Google AdSense approval. Therefore, don’t listen to other tutorials to use something like sitemap generators to create a custom sitemap for a blogger website. Besides, don’t try to change the original robots.txt file and the sitemap.xml inside it on your blogger website before getting Google AdSense Approval. Back to Google Search Console, I just type and submit all th

e sitemaps mentioned earlier. There is 1 error on the status of sitemap-pages.xml, but don’t worry about it, because I haven’t published any important pages like About Me and Privacy Policy yet. It will be fixed once there is at least 1 important page published on my Blogger website. You can see there are 7 to 8 discovered URLs under these sitemaps, but you might wonder why there is a difference between the number of discovered URLs, maybe. So basically for RSS or Atom feeds, these sitemaps will

include all the blog posts and the website link, for my case is veriox.blogspot.com. Meanwhile, the XML sitemap only includes all blog posts, and that’s why it shows 7 discovered URLs. (which is equivalent to 6 Exam P Posts +1 Exam IFM Post). Now it's the time to publish all important pages because more than one blog post was published at this moment. Inside the layout section, click this Pen icon and enable this widget to show all the important pages I just published. Press add a new item, the

n click the page name and there is a list for you to choose, click save to continue. You can arrange these important pages in the way you like, but I just save and leave it like this. Soon after that, I then copy another blog post link from the Blogger site and repeat the request indexing process again until all published posts URLs are submitted to Google Search Console. Remember the link format I told you in Part 5 of BAT video? Now I can just change the number at the back of this link and sub

mit these blog posts easily. You can see there are sitemaps showing here already after I submitted them inside Google Search Console. Currently I have submitted all the URLs and requested Google to crawl and index all my Blogger posts. By the way, you may click the settings on the sidebar and then click Associations here. Press the dark blue button with “Associate” to connect this Google Search Console account to Google Analytics, then press continues to proceed. Press associate and now both of

them are connected. That’s all for Part 6 of Blogger + AdSense Tutorial series. Feel free to ask me something in the comment section if you still have any doubts about blogger creation and setup.
