Google blog search is not showing 'More Results from domain'

If you have a Google Webmaster Tools account (highly recommended) and have verified your site, have you gone in to check and see if Google is having any trouble indexing your site or shows any other types of warnings – i.e. Malware, spam, duplicate content, etc.?

Have you done a search to see if Google still has the pages in its index? i.e. site:www.yourdomain.com

Can we take a look at your site?

Hi zoonini,

Yes, checked on Webmaster tools and there are no issues. The sitemap is showing as downloaded and the links included, but the feed shows as downloaded but links included.

BTW it’s https://www.google.co.uk and not google.com

The WordPress blog is located here :

https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/

If I go to Google Blogsearch and type ‘vip electronic cigarette’ as the keyphrase it does indeed show ‘More results from Electronic Cigarette Blog by VIP’

If I type just ‘electronic cigarette’ as the keyphrase, Google displays only posts made on that day and does not include ‘More results from Electronic Cigarette Blog by VIP’

Google.co.uk Blogsearch has previously displayed the More results, but has not done so for a couple of months. However, it still shows in the top three as ‘Related blogs about electronic cigarette’

I’ve already discussed this with our SEO company, but when it comes to wordpress and Blogsearch their knowledge is less than mine.

Thanks for your assistance.

I have a few theories – but that’s all they are, theories. Google changes their algorithms all the time, trying to offer ever more relevant and quality search results to users.

I would talk to your SEO company about reducing some of the keyword overload you have going on. Google frowns on “keyword stuffing” and you may be leaning in that direction. Definitely get rid of all the blocks of hidden text you have throughout your homepage below each post (I didn’t look at other pages, it may be there too.) For example:

<!--
<div class="signature">
    <p>Written by admin <span class="edit"></span></p>
    <p>April 11th, 2011 at 12:25 pm</p>
</div>
<div class="tags">
    <p>Posted in <a href="https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/category/electronic-cigaretttes/" title="View all posts in Electronic Cigarettes" rel="category tag">Electronic Cigarettes</a></p>
    <p>Tagged with <a href="https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/tag/e-cigarette-filters/" rel="tag">e-cigarette filters</a>, <a href="https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/tag/electronic-cigarette/" rel="tag">electronic cigarette</a>, <a href="https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/tag/electronic-cigarettes/" rel="tag">electronic cigarettes</a>, <a href="https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/tag/free-cartomizers/" rel="tag">free cartomizers</a>, <a href="https://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/blog/tag/vip-electronic-cigarette/" rel="tag">vip electronic cigarette</a></p></div> -->

Although you could have been doing that in good faith to simply remove your post tags, it could certainly be seen by Google as keyword stuffing/spamming. You should edit your theme files to fully remove the tag section, instead of commenting out as has been done.

You’ve also used the phrase “electronic cigarette” on your homepage over 60 times. (I stopped counting after that.) That’s definitely veering into the realm of keyword overboard.

I don’t know if there’s one simple answer to your dilemma, but you may definitely want to revisit the optimization of your site – and ideally with a firm that understands the particular needs of SEO and blogs. Best of luck.
