  Hi there –

  As soon as you register your site address it is live unless you choose to mark it as private.

  It will take some time for Google to index your new site, up to six weeks in fact. During this time, the best thing for you to do is to continue adding quality posts to the site using good titles and tagging. Check out our SEO guide here.

  Here are some tips for increasing your blog traffic and views: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  We also have a learning guide and blogging courses to help you get started.

  I’m happy to answer any follow up questions.
