  Hello everyone:

  I opened my wordpress.com blog in august as a private site until I acquired certain number of posts. 3 weeks later I made it public and bought the domain; up to today I can’t find it on google search. I made the connections with in dashboard/tools, and nothing.. any suggestions? Does it have to do with the issue of not having a url but and html web?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I only looked at one of your posts, but at the bottom it had this link:
  http://icd.uni-stuttgart.de/?p=9869

  Are your posts original? If they are not, search engines will see that and classify your blog as spam. To get listed on search engines, you must have rich, ORIGINAL content that people may conceivably want to search for.

  Jeeez! those are just the attributions for the photo insertion, I should call for the person instead of the web! : /
  Should I edit all those links?

  I tend to refer to the original designer when posting something referring to x or y material.. Is this a bad thing?

  If it’s just a photo attribution, but the text is original, that shouldn’t be a problem.

  If your blog is set as Private and then you set it to Public, it normally takes much longer for search engines to index it. Can you get some links coming in to your blog? That will speed it up.

  Yes, the text is original and the privacy was removed 3-4 weeks after opening the blog. What do you mean by “getting some links coming into my blog”?

  I mean people have to link to your blog. You have to post something that other people will want to refer to. You’ve got links in your blog posts; your goal is to get other people to link to you.

  Understood, well yes I do have referrals, not sooo much, but a few have worked! I will keep on cleaning the source links on some posts and just go with the name of the owner or page on the caption.. any other ideas please let me know. I appreciate your replies! Thank you!
