Credits url listed in google searches
-
I have purchased the premium service and have access to wordpress CSS. Now, i do not mind the credits at the bottom of my blog, but I would like google searches to show the address of my blog: blog.omada.net rather than theme.wordpress.com/credits/blog.omada.net. Is there a setting I am not able to find that can ensure the proper google robot redirect?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The credits link at the footer is the credits for the theme used on the site, not for the site content.
I don’t think there should be a confusion issue with Google searches. As an idea, you can add your own credit text with link to your own site on the Sidebar or Footer widget area.

Thanks for quick reply. Let me try and clearify my question a bit better, as i did do the above suggest.
When my blog post is shown in google, the url is
theme.wordpress.com/credits/blog.omada.net
When all i want is it to show: blog.omada.net … i.e. remove the theme.wordpress.com part of the url. Somehow, the Google robot detects the theme redirect instead of the actual blog page. I have made a dns redirect to my site.
Is there a google or search engine css command i can insert, that overwrites this and replace it with my blog.omada.net url?
Thanks again.

Can you explain what you mean with ‘when my blog post is shown in google’? On Google’s search result? If yes, using what search keyword?
-
Thanks for helping. If you do the following google search:
https://www.google.dk/search?q=omada&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr&ei=JQPVUpXvCenJ4AT-tICACw#q=omada+gartner&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&start=10Then it will show at the bottom an Omada hit that shows Omada Blog on WordPress with the url i listed above. That is the one i just want to say Omada Blog and then show the blog.omada.net url. ok?

Thanks, I got what you mean.
I don’t think it is possible to prevent Google from indexing that link. You can’t remove the link either even with CSS. See:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsI think the best thing you can do is increase exposure to the blog, so Google ranks it higher than the theme.wordpress.com/credits/blog.omada.net for the ‘omada gartner’ keyword.

In my last blog done exactly same way with Twenty ten, it worked like i want to. Since i cannot find twenty ten anymore, I used the twenty eleven, but it must be a faulty setting somewhere that it refer to a redirect as opposed to the url i have paid in my premium package to use. Do you know if there is some help to get from wordpress? If not, i might have to move to a different blog provider eventhough I really like wordpress and have used it extensively. Thanks again for helping out here. Really appreciated.

You have a 4 day old blog, with almost NO content, it takes search engines 4 to 6 weeks typically to index a new blog. You are a sub-domain not sure if that will speed things up.
Since you have not much on the blog, search engines will pickup things like the footer since there is not much to crawl. Add more content and after a while things will even out. Outside of making good content you don’t have a lot of control over individual items a search engine picks up
ADD MORE CONTENT

Thanks both of you. I will stay patient and see what happens as i fill in content over the next weeks. Thanks again. Cheers

Hi there,
auxclass provided the answer but what follows may help you too. To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content the cannot in posts that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

I just wanted to circle back here and let you know that we added a no-index request to theme credits pages like theme.wordpress.com/credits/blog.omada.net
Thanks for taking the time to write in about it earlier this year.
