Blog not indexed by Google 3 months after domain change
-
Hello, I’ve searched through forum about this topic but I still think that something’s wrong with indexing my blog http://mdfinance.net by some search engines. On 25th June 2012 I bought a domain for my blog http://mdfinance.wordpress.com. I changed the theme – now I use Oxygen.
I am posting regularly and have around 15 unique visits per day.The blog is doing fine in yahoo.com and in bing.com but is still not indexed by google and ask.com. Please help me!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There’s an issue with your domainj mapping for sure. I’m flagging this thread so Staff assist you with straightening this out. The name servers are correctly pointed to ns2.wordpress.com, ns3.wordpress.com, ns1.wordpress.com
-
I checked again and it seems that Staff have just fixed this because now I can connect to http://mdfinance.net/ as http://mdfinance.wordpress.com is noe redirecting correctly. It wasn’t minutes ago.

Well, I am getting really annoyed with google – there’s nothing more I can say… The blog is still not indexed and I don’t know what more to do. I have followed all instructions.
I have invested in this site – bought a domain, bought a css upgrade, I am advertising it in local sites… It seems that having a free wordpress blog is more suitable for google than investing in a wordpress blog…

You also need to put your footer back before your blog is suspended.
The current policy about the footer in the support documentation:
May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit.http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

Good
As to you Google issue – don’t know what to suggest other than what I and @TT have suggested above – I have a few sites here both domain mapped and unmapped (plain free domain) – and all of them are indexed by Google even when I did not submit them directly to Google but just waited – the longest wait for some intelligent indexing was about six weeks – but Google literally decided to re-index the world during that six weeks and I was indexed then I was not then I was – sort of strange
You also have Posts so your site is calling up the search engines which normally is good
The only other thing is you might try asking over at Google

I think that the missing footer is the main reason for my problem. WordPress should have penalized me for that by sending information to google that my blog has violated the rules… But I didn’t knew that it was such a problem.
-
I doubt the footer is the issue – can’t see WordPress.COM sending a note to Google without telling you –
WordPress.COM I think puts something in your Dashboard that you are in violation of the TOS – in many cases they go straight to blog suspended if you have for instance a bunch of affiliate links or your own advertising –
Try asking at Google – they have a help forum

Hello, everybody. I did set the problem in google forums. I received a response from an experienced participant in their forum, that for example this link: http://mdfinance.net/2012/08/22/%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5/ is cloaking and Google usually treats this as deceptive and removes the site from its index. I have to assure you that I am not familiar with cloaking and don’t have any misleading reasons to be blogging. Since I don’t have any access to html ’cause the blog is hosted by wordpress.com I don’t know what to do and what to change… I will be very happy if someone can help me to solve this problem.

I have marked this for staff attention – now that you have something specific maybe they can shed some light on what is happening and why

G is being much more pro-active in blocking sites and even censoring many for a variety of reasons. There have been quite a few stories on the tech news websites about how G is intentionally editing search results.

Hey there,
It looks like your site is setup properly.
Unfortunately, there’s very little we can do to expedite Google’s indexing process. The “cloaking” issue you described is common treatment of URLs containing non-ASCII characters (they’re simply being escaped)–Google should not penalize you for this.
It looks like other search engines like Bing are beginning to index your site, so it is likely only a matter of time until Google does as well.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the amount of time Google is taking, but there’s nothing further we can do.
Best,
P. -
Thank you, pcrumm! Maybe my case is a matter of bad luck.. I will keep you in touch if needed.

I note your username links to the old URL. You will want to change that on your Profile.
