  I have recently purchased domain mapping.
  While I have only recently verified the site with Google and submitted the sitemap- will it be the mapped domain that will show and not the WordPress.com one?

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

  As far as I know, your custom domain is the one indexed by search engines, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

  Thanks – it has started to show as indexed but in a strange order (without homepage)

  The mapped domain name will show in search results –

  BUT:

  I have recently purchased domain mapping.

  Means it will take some time for search engines to update their index.

  Also – Google will index your site if you have something worth indexing – verifying is not needed
