Google by country not shwing blog
-
My wordpress.com blog is showing up on Google if I search by ‘any country’ but when I try to search in a particular country (South Africa) I receive this response –
Your search – http://westcoastfoodies.wordpress.com/ – did not match any documents
Does this mean that wordpress.com webpages are seen as ‘.com’ only and not as country specific ?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
On further research of my wordpress.com blog I checked http://ismyblogworking.com/westcoastfoodies.wordpress.com and I find that the blog is shown as Your blog is a self-hosted WordPress blog.
I am confused.
I would welcome any comment that provides answers to this dilemma please.

Thanks Zeit.
My concern is that Google does not seem to see my blog when I select a specific country such as South Africa when doing a search. This suggests that Google does not recognise a wordpress.com blog as country specific. -
Hi Raski~
1. When I accessed http://ismyblogworking.com/westcoastfoodies.wordpress.com I did not see where it said your site is self hosted.
2. When I searched “westcoastfoodies.com South Africa” your blog had the top four results in Google.
Are you wanting people to find you using key words or tags that Google can find. Here is a thread that discusses this particular issue.
I certainly hope this helps you on your blogging journey.

Hi Zeit.
Many thanks for your reply. Patience is a virtue and I guess I am falling into the modern trap of wanting everything immediately, yesterday if possible. So rule number one, which I must repeat 50 times each morning before breakfast, “keep blogging regularly, keep the content interesting and let the technology take care of the stuff it is good at.”
