Blogger Keeping Search Engines Out of Your Site?

Kevin Gibbons recently posted a thread over at the Search Engine Roundtable Forums about how his site had been removed from the Google index.
Come to find out the Blogger tag < $BlogMetaData$> that produces the meta tags for the site included the < meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" /> meta tag to all of his blog pages.
Kevin luckily figured it out fairly quickly and hard-coded the meta data himself. However, it looks like most Blogger templates use the < $BlogMetaData$> tag so it’s definitely something you should check in to if you are using Blogger for your blog.
