Google marking blog as “irrelevant”
-
Hi, I’m extremely new to blogging and am completely clueless as to how search engines work. I was recently reading articles on SEO because I really want to get more traffic to my blog. Curious, I decided to google my blog and lo and behold I found a problem.
About two months ago, I started a blog that had only 2 posts and then was abandoned. Last week, I started a new blog (using the same URL and account) about a completely different topic that I’m actually interested in keeping up with.
When I google searched within my domain, it only came up with my two old posts, and all of my current ones were marked as “irrelevant” and ignored until you asked to see them. I have a feeling this will hurt my blog traffic right?
I really don’t know what to do because I deleted the 2 crappy posts last week before I started my new blog and I don’t even want them to exist anymore…
The google search url was (sorry, I use google in French): Google search
My blog url is http://joshlin.wordpress.com. Feel free to look around and comment! If you see any glaring mistakes that would hurt my traffic, please let me know! Even after reading articles, I’m still clueless!

The important thing is that Google has indexed more or less all posts your whole site

It’s not “irrelevant” posts, It’s “similar” posts. I’m not sure how Google determines that, but I would not be worried. -
Blog more and Google will rank you better. It’s really quite simple. You just have to outrank your two dead posts; that shouldn’t be hard.
