  In your WordPress admin, go to Settings – Reading and under “Site Visibility”, select “Allow search engines to index this site”.

  Then scroll down and hit “Save Changes”.

  Your blog is already public and available for indexing. Confirm here > Settings > Reading > Blog visibility Option 1

  It takes weeks 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.

  Note also that 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

  Lastly note that we cannot assist with search engine issues. They are between the blogger and the search engine. http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  Before you get too far along here are the kind of blogs allowed http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/ and below are what gets a blog suspended:

  No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs and our blogs cannot be used to drive traffic to third party commercial sites. The only blogs that can be equipped for ecommerce are those with the $299. per year business upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

  The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed.
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  There are no restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this guide to learn about the differences.

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested. http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  Provided you are logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog you can locate it here >
  http://how2makeonlinemoney.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php
  scroll down to

  Site Visibility
  _ Allow search engines to index this site
  _Discourage search engines from indexing this site

  Note: Neither of these options blocks access to your site — it is up to search engines to honor your request.

  I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose

  scroll down “save changes”

  I hope you read very carefully what’s allowed here and what’s not because make money online blogs cross the ToS line here every day and get suspended.

  Of course it works. I’m concerned about you reading and complying with the policies I linked to above because make money blogs that violate the Terms of Service get suspended.

  Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same. The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. > Settings > General
  “save changes”
  That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed.

  You cannot edit any URL. If you want to change the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// then you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to do that and the URL you desire must be available. If so then you can change the URL by using this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
  Note the correct My Blogs location http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/dashboard-e1371648470893.png
