I had an issue with one of my WordPress blog with the Google indexing after posted new posts. Before, my posts were indexed within minutes, get indexed in Google within 5 minutes. But since May 2010 none of my latest posts getting indexed by Google. Google not indexing my WordPress blog posts again, GoogleBot just index home page and stopped indexing my new posts even after bookmarking them. Google is crawling the site just not adding the new posts (permalink not followed).
I am sure, I am not blocking the GoogleBot. I checked and I’m not doing any blocking. Also I tried to fetch as GoogleBot my posts by GoogleBot tool in Google Web Master Tools and the result was success, no crawl errors showed, but my problem not yet solved.
All posts are unique and site has decent amounts of backlinks too. My site is not hacked and I also don’t see any malware warning in google webmaster tools. I am using xml sitemap plugin and my new posts are shown in sitemap too.
Here are some information about blog that is in trouble

I have the same problem as well for my personal blog, I have checked multiple times and I know I don’t have any bots blocked and there still seems to be no error, I will check back and hopefully someone else has an answer to this problem!
