Google search does not find my website

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have followed all of the suggestions to make my website found in a google search, but it is still not found. I had it up four years ago and there were no issues, I took it down for a while, put it back up in June and it is not found anymore. This is now beyond my skill level and I need help! Thanks

    Hello,

    What is the URL for your site?

    Also it normally takes a few weeks for Google to index a site. That is normally. I am unsure if they have caught up yet, but I know earlier in the year it was taking them even longer to index new pages (in some cases it took months).

    I would double check in your site settings and be sure that the option to “Discourage Search Engines from indexing” is not turned on though. As long as that is not turned on, then it would be more so a waiting game with Google.

    Let us know if you have any other questions! :)

    It’s been about 10 weeks now.
    Thank you!

    I checked out the source code for the home page. I’m not seeing anything that would prevent indexing by Google. Normally it takes them, 4-8 weeks to index, and like I said I know there was a delay earlier in the year.

    My thinking is just to continue to be patient. I don’t see too much more you can do as WordPress.com automatically submits the sitemap to the Search Engines, so you should be in their Queue to be indexed.

    Let us know if you have any other questions! :)
