1.You rarely publish articles.

I have experienced this myself when I don’t publish articles for months, then when I check, The sitemap index on Google Webmaster Tools has decreased.

2. Some blog articles have expired.

Cause of which Secondly, according to my analysis, this is most likely due to an article Your blog has expired. The information is no longer valid at this time, usually for items that cover seasonal topics, let alone articles that add years to the title of the article.

If it was observed that articles like this we’re getting old, the less often they came visitors, this could be the cause of the sitemap index on the search console you declined.

3. Improvements to the Google index

I don’t know for sure, but I got this information from several blogs, that there is a possibility the cause of the sitemap index is down because Google is doing revamped search engine index. Or Google releases the engine algorithm searchers that harm your blog.

4. The article discussed does not comply with the webmaster tool guidelines.

Cause next why google index down, because the article that you created as well as many blogging activities that you do for your blog not following the guidelines google webmaster guidelines, so it harms your blog and finally the google index too decreased in number.

5. You leave your blog unhealthy.

The next one is I will most likely analyze it because of the large number of pages not found 404, and you haven’t made improvements in a long time. 

My opinion could be one of the causes because of what I experienced after many improvements, 404 indexes also rose slowly.

6. There is an incorrect sitemap address.

The last cause is the sitemap address that you submit on Google’s webmaster tool or google search console is wrong. If you find your blog sitemap index does not go up, even an error appears, then your chances are small, Incorrectly entering your blog sitemap address. Make sure to address Blogspot. The sitemap you entered is  sitemap.xml.

f. Improve the standard meta-structure in your blog template.

Experience me, the blog sitemap index is starting to improve one of them after me make changes to the blog template code, especially on the standard meta used in every Blogspot.

The meta, when read by the Blogspot engine, will produce some of the standard meta needed by blogs. How to see it, open it your blog address, then on your blog page please right click then select the view source menu / view the source code of the page, you will see a standard meta frame generated from the meta code above.
