      Currently there are total 2,787 Articles added to my Blog.

      The Index Status shows the following report under Index Status>Advance

      Total Indexed = 12,505

      Blocked by robots = 8,659

      And when I do search for site:techmaish.com in Google.com, it shows;

      About 12,200 results (0.15 seconds)

      Now my question.

      1:- Is it normal Or there is something wrong?

      2:- If there is something wrong then what is that?

      Thanks in advance.

        Did you intend to index a variety of sub-domains? Like:

        wppluginsblog.techmaish.com

        demo.techmaish.com

          Yes the demo.techmaish.com is created for one of our WordPress Theme.

          However the wppluginsblog.techmaish.com is not intended to be there. Thanks for pointing me there. I will deindex this one.

          But why there is difference between the Total Index and URLs available in the Sitemap. I only have around 2,787 articles in the blog, but Google is showing 12,000 in its Index.

              Oh my God, It is actually the link added to our home page for Skype so that our readers can use to add us on skype.

              Gyi, where exactly you got this? I mean I can't find it in google.

                I crawled your site. Have you looked for errors in Google Webmaster Tools? That should help you find issues like this too.

                  It looks like the skype link is nofollowed though, so it's probably not the problem.

                    There are no such errors under "Crawl" section.
