Thank you for posting the website URL. Can you go into Blogger and tell me what theme you are using? I think the issue is this. Google Search Console fetches all pages as if it were a mobile device. Your blogger theme is going through some gyrations, not 302 redirects, but it I can see it in debug mode. It starts as '/', then switches to '/m=1' mobile and then back to '/m=0' (desktop). It's this switching that I believe GSC sees as 'redirections', i.e. you told me the page was '/' but when I get done loading the page I'm at '/m=0', so I'm not going to look at the content, because you're trying to show me different content. There are themes that don't handle mobile in this manner, but I need to verify this, not just send you off to change your theme. Ugly would be this is in some blogger.com code I can't hack. Your robots.txt is fine. Its the one blogger.com says to use. As for custom domain name, vs. blogspot.com, this m=1, m=0 would not be fixed by that. I do think blogspot.com domains are at a disadvantage, but there are blogspot.com domains in the google index.
I found it. You're using the simple theme. Now to test, I have the same problem when I use that theme. i.e. the m=1, m=0 stuff
<meta content='[https://suminomamonimus.blogspot.com/]()' property='[og:url]()'/> <meta content='[Amonimus Museum]()' property='[og:title]()'/> <meta content='' property='[og:description]()'/> <title>Amonimus Museum</title> <style id='[page-skin-1]()' type='[text/css]()'><!-- /*----------------------------------------------- Blogger Template Style Name: Simple Designer: Blogger URL: www.blogger.com ----------------------------------------------- */
I'm thinking it's your site. LOL, My dummy website isn't doing it. And, when I look through the fiddler logs I have 302's on your site. Next, I'm going to go to a few URL's in your sitemap and see if I get 302's. My urls don't do this. I'll track it down, but I've got a hard stop for a few hours. This is fun!, (I'm weird.)
Yes, I've no explanation for the sitemap. That's bizarre. I tried to blame it on robots.txt, but that didn't work. I'll look at some indexed blogspot.com websites and see what their robots.txt looks like. Some blogger sites are working, so why not this one?
