Thanks for the question.
Any "pa...Hi Robert,<br /><br />Thanks for the question.<br /><br />Any "page" - whether dynamic or static - can be linked, and any linked page <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2010/06/blogger-magic-search-engine-indexing.html" rel="nofollow">can be randomly indexed</a> when the blog is being indexed. So the term "not looked at" is rather extreme.<br /><br />Deliberate indexing, using a sitemap, is the best way to ensure indexing of specific content. If you want your pages indexed, because the blog only contains pages, you have to add a pages sitemap.<br /><br />If you want your pages indexed, and the blogs contains posts, and possible links to the pages, the pages may be indexed - but again, I'd add a pages sitemap to ensure indexing.<br /><br />If you don't want the pages indexed, at all, I'd add "nofollow" to all pages links.<br /><br />So, it's just up to you, what you want.<br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2010/06/blogger-magic-search-engine-indexing.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2010/06/blogger-magic-search-engine-indexing.html</a>Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-63475732520057487812015-10-02T08:29:52.807-07:002015-10-02T08:29:52.807-07:00I am using blogger with a custom domain name.

Are you saying that those pages are not looked at by search engines unless I add a pages sitemap to robots.tx. <br />thanks,Robert Schotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506470804004343869noreply@blogger.com
