Discovery by search engines

    I have recently removed a WP blog and transferred the content over to a new blog. This was done to in effect, rename the blog. The operation was a success but I had to go back to Technorati and Feedburner to enter the new name and url. This all took as well.

    When I search Google for my blog using the literal name in my URL : ‘webvideojournal’ (without .wordpress.com) it comes back with the old site which is now defunct. That url was ‘webvideodaily.wordpress.com’ but the tag line on my blog page was ‘webvideojournal’.

    Is this simply an issue of cache freshening on Google?

    Thanks for any responses.

    Yes, it is on the search engine’s end of things. As I remember Google clears caches about every 4 to 6 months, and with Yahoo, they never seem to clear anything. I have a blog that was deleted two years ago that still shows up in Yahoo.

    And, if you are no longer on wordpress.COM, but using the software downloaded from wordpress.ORG, then you need to direct your inquiries to http://worpdress.ORG/support/ which is where self-hosted wordpress blogs are supported.
