  New blogs aren’t on search engines yet. Give your friends the direct link http://shannonsait.wordpress.com/ instead.

  If you want to be on google, blog more. Blog every day, lots of original material, and use tags and categories correctly. Link to other blogs. Eventually your blog will be rich in original material and then the search engines will list it.

  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
