  You have to give Google some time to find and index your site. Sometimes this can take quite a number of weeks, and sometimes even months. So, just be a bit patient and it’ll show up in Google in time.

  Make sure your site content is SEO friendly! (There are numerous guides available to make your site more SEO friendly, so it would go too far to tell you all about it here). Also, the more sites link to your site, the faster you will be included in Google’s index.

  there are thousands of sites out there dealing with your subject – so getting to page one will be a bit tough

  4 to 7 weeks to fully index for a new site – for a bit of a check – try your blog title in quotes or the title of a post – again in quotes

  As the others noted it takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. 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

  Lastly note that we cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  We have no control over when Google crawls and updates the SERPs. Note that you can ask Google to crawl your URLs https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en
