  So, my blog http://cthulhuplusplus.wordpress.com gets bad ratings on various sites that check how well indexed your webpage is.

  Here’s the problems according to ismyblogworking.com that I don’t know how to fix:

  ! Your real blog URL is https://cthulhuplusplus.wordpress.com/

  ! Your blog application doesn’t support gzip compression.

  ! The feed discovery URL advertised in your <link> redirects to a different location.

  ! Your RSS feed contains no items.

  I’ve tried to look up some solutions but all of my searches lead me to plugins and since this is a wordpress hosted blog, I don’t appear to have plugins. Can anyone help? :)

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

  You have only two posts, one per year. Just how do you expect to get indexed that way?

  Does that have anything to do with what the site is telling me? I intend to use the blog more going forward and wanted to get this in order.

  Yes. Your RSS feed will settle down once you start blogging. Also avoid using https for now; always use http. It’s a temporary glitch but until it’s fixed don’t use https at all when you give an analysis tool your URL.

  I see 3 posts in it now https://cthulhuplusplus.wordpress.com/feed/

  It it takes weeks of consistent post publication 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.

  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
