  I’ve uploaded a couple of PDF files to my WordPress.com site. They were previously indexed by Google (ie. if I searched for a phrase which appeared in the PDFs, they would appear) but apparently no longer.

  I’ve resubmitted the URL of the blog pages that link to these files and asked Google to process all direct links as per these instructions, but:

  — Will that get the PDFs given that they’re on a different domain? (.files.wordpress.com) Or does it only index direct links on the same domain?
  — If the above doesn’t/ won’t work, what else can I do?

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