  I created my blog few days ago. I have selected to be visible to everyone and to all the search engines. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be visible to anyone and when I google it it doesn’t appear anything. What I do wrong ?

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

  Your blog does appear to be listed on Google (by searching for ‘nmspace’), but Google may not be giving you much traffic yet for other search terms. This should happen with time.

  Hope this helps.

  It can take several weeks for Google to completely index your blog, and since you just started on the 9th, the fact that Google has found you should be encouraging.

  It takes time to build page rank, and the best way to do that is to keep posting original content, and also visit other blogs and comment on posts that interest you. Here are some resources for building traffic and thus building page rank:

  Also look over the onecoolsite as it has a lot of very good information on it for promoting your blog and all things blog related.

  Blogsessive is another good site to check out.

  I think there are things one can do to encourage traffic but sometimes it is sort of a combination two things:

  1. Good, trendy, relevant post (pick one or all three)

  2. Luck because you are competing with millions of blogs/sites. If you follow step one consistently Google will start to take notice and get you indexed faster.

  I think writing posts are only part of the equation when it comes to successful blogging. Good luck, be original and stay persistent.

  When i was signing up for WordPress blog i forgot to check the box which said something like: “Do you want your blog to appear in Google search engine and Technorati”? Now is there any way I can enable this option after I’ve sign-up?

  Yes, under Settings.
