  There is no magic to make search engines search your site at left top. It takes time for search engines to recognize your site. If your content is unique it takes much less time to have your site at top. Configure your site with the major search engines so that they recognize you well..

  @Aacohen97
  The link to your blog is already under your username. So don’t bother to post it time and again.

  You have a Page based site with no real content.

  Search the forum a bit – this is one of the top questions. Visit timethief’s site (she helps in the forum, easy to find) lots of help there –

  Write a few Posts – give a search engine a reason to pay attention to you. registering a site with nothing much on it does not do much good.
