  Hi, I have created my first website using the free payment plan option available from wordpress and now have a nice ****.wordpress.com website.

  I’m very happy with the facilities available to create a website but when I try to search for my website in any search engine in windows explore then my website is not found.

  Does anyone have any advice on to help? (I have tried to create several Alt Text, Title, tags and context relevant text on the website to enable the website to be found)

  Will it help to have a different payment plan or different hosting solution?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes, be patient. It can take between 4-6 weeks before search engines crawl and index your site. In the meantime, keep posting quality content frequently.

  I see you’ve taken steps to optimize your site and there are other things you can do as well, such as submit your XML sitemap to Google. Here’s more on search engines: https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  Let us know if you have more questions about that.
