Search Engines Not Indexing Your FeedBurner Feed?

January 27, 2009 by Manoj Jasra 3 Comments

If you’re a FeedBurner user, you may have had some issues with your feeds in the last couple of weeks. This includes issues with displaying your feed in addition to getting accurate subscriber numbers from FeedBurner.

However, have you also had issues with your feed’s URL being indexed in Google at all? I am not sure why I didn’t catch this before but if you login to your FeedBurner account >> go to publicize >> then go the very last link on the bottom left titled: “No Index.” By default, “Indicate that your feed should not be indexed by search engines” is checked and therefore your Feed will not be indexed in any Search Engine.

One thing you should consider before changing this default option is whether your content is updated frequently enough so that you don’t trip any duplicate content filters (between your blog and your FeedBurner feed). You should also consider the number of items you display on your blog’s home page vs. your feed – this may also get you into some duplicate content issues if they are too alike. However if you post unique content and you post often, you shouldn’t have too much trouble.

    Feeds is one of the content you don’t want to get indexed as they are duplicates of your original contents. I had this problem numerous times, and it took me a while to figure it out.

    But you want to get link back from Feedburner to increase your page authority. That is the reason I want to get those pages to be indexed. Yes be careful on how feeds shows up there not to have duplicate content.
