  Why is my blog showing up as an unverified site on google? It wasn’t before and now it is. I did add a domain name recently to have my blog address as ‘illuminationsbylisafleetwood.com’ without the ‘wordpress’ in the address. Is that why it has happened? I just transferred the primary domain name back to illuminationsbylisafleetwood.wordpress.com and it is still showing up online with the ‘wordpress’ and still showing as an unverified site. How do I fix this. I don’t want people to not enter my site as it is showing as unverified. Thank you!

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

  Hi there,
  Yes. You changed the URL. 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/
