  why won’t my blog show up when i type the exact title of my url in the search engine? if i put glutenfreebudgetguru.com it works, but if i search “gluten free budget guru” it doesn’t? Does this have something to do with me being a new blog and at the bottom of the barrel (so to speak)? Also, do buying a premium package make me more searchable?? I thought I paid a fee to have just .com not .wordpress.com……Help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Does this have something to do with me being a new blog and at the bottom of the barrel (so to speak)?

  The short answer is, yes, this is the crux of it.

  Also, do buying a premium package make me more searchable??

  No, that won’t make you more searchable. It simply gives you more tools and upgrades to help create your site.

  I thought I paid a fee to have just .com not .wordpress.com

  You have. glutenfreebudgetguru.com points to your http://glutenfreebudgetguru.wordpress.com/ WordPress.com site.

  Regarding Google and SEO in general:

  WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. The search engines can take 4-6 weeks or more to add any new sites. For more information about WordPress.com and Search Engines, please see http://support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ .

  It will take a couple of days from the time you created your blog for it to show up in WordPress.com search results. For more information please see http://support.wordpress.com/wordpresscom-search/ .

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
