  This selection is good “Allow search engines to index this site”, but I can’t find my blog on Google?

  Hi there,

  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/ .

  You can change your blog’s visibility to search engines by visiting Settings -> Reading from your WordPress Dashboard, and looking under “Site Visibility.”

  Please check out our support documentation at http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ and let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hi there,

  Your blog is visible now if you go directly to your blog address here: http://imagine74.wordpress.com/

  There is not an exact amount of time before a new blog appears on search engines, but it can take 4-6 weeks or more. You may be able to speed that process up by setting up Webmaster Tools, to verify your site with search engines. We have more information about that here: Webmaster Tools

  I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
