For a couple days now, I have been spotting random threads with complaints from Blogger aka blogspot.com bloggers that Google has stopped indexing and ranking their new blog posts in Google web search.

It turns out to be a large problem. A Google Webmaster Help thread has tons of bloggers upset with a recent change. It appears to be a bug either on the Blogger side or on the GoogleBot side.

Google is looking into this, we are still not sure where the bug resides or how large the bug is, but it is an issue.

Forum discussion at Google Webmaster Help.

Update: The issue should now be resolved, please see our update for more information.
