Google and finding my blog
-
Hi, I’m trying to find my wordpress blog via google on my husbands computer and it’s not showing regardless of using tags?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Lexi! Is the blog new? It usually takes a while for Google to add new pages to its search results.

You have a one day old site – one Page & one Post – it takes 4 to 7 weeks for search engines to index a new site and that is only if you have something worth indexing
since your site is so small, expecting it to ever search well is a lost cause given the other sites out there in the same field – you need to add more content to your site – more Posts (Pages don’t search as well) – then your site will start to be able to be found

What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) 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/
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
