Can't find my website online
-
I must be doing something stupid (or not doing what I should be doing), but I’ve created a 3-page website and told it to publish, but when I try to Google it there’s no sign of it at all.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
it rarely happens that Google picks 3-page site unless there is something super-important on it. Which query do you send to Google when trying to google your site?
-
Thanks for your quick response. I simply type in sussexauthors.wordpress.com. Shouldn’t that bring it up?
-
The important question is, how old is your blog?
The another question is, do you have a feeling that you did something you shouldn’t be doing? -
That should bring up in Google or any search engine but Google has not crawled your WordPress Blog yet. That’s why there is no information for your Blog.
-
Again, many thanks – to both replies. I set it up yesterday, and thought I’d followed the simple instructions. Today I had a request from WordPress for a ‘pingback approval’, whatever that means, and I sent that an hour or so ago. Do you mean that it simply takes some time for the blog/website to show? How long should I leave it, do you think, before suspecting that there’s a genuine problem?

you have a 2 day old site with 3 small PAGES – it takes search engines 4 to 8 weeks to fully index a new site and that is only if there is content worth indexing on the site – new Pages have no search engine juice – you need to publish some Posts since Posts will call up search engines and ask the search engines and say “new content, please stop by” Pages are static and don’t notify search engines of new content
currently search engines probably don’t even know you exist

Make some Posts – talk about your last meeting, make sure the city is in the Post as well as the meeting place (especially if it is a well known place in your city) – make sure every meeting has a new Post – make a new Post announcing the next meeting – make a new Post on the next book you are reading or the current book assignment etc.

Ha! Sent a flurry of posts, and the site came up on Google. Ten minutes later it had gone! It’s a mad online world . . .
