I want my blog to appear in google searches
-
When I set up my blog I am sure I chose NOT to have it show up in related Google searches. Now I would like to enable that but I can’t figure out how to do it. What do I need to do please? Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading and select Option 1 under site visibility settings.
Allow search engines to index this site. – This is the setting used by most blogs. It allows everyone to read your blog and enables your blog to be included in search engine results and other content sites. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

It takes weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL and/or one the site visibility settings have been changed on.
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/
