  I changed my blog address from “Yoga and other little things” to “Ishan Yogpeeth”…but now “Ishan Yogpeeth” is not searchable under any search engine, although my previous blog address (Yoga and other little things) still is searchable…

  Please Help!

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

  You mean you have created another blog, right ? It will take some time to appear on search engine, if you have recently created the blog.

  It takes a while for Google to reindex your site. When you change your blog address, it breaks all that search engine goodness you had.

  If you do change your blog address, permalinks to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken unless you purchase a Site Redirect upgrade.

  Here’s the link to the information about changing blog names:

  No I didn’t create another blog. I just changed both the username and the blog address. But I guess what susanhayse says is the case. I’ll have to buy the Site Redirect Upgrade :(

  Thanks anyways!

  yogaandotherlittlethings.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.

  Since you deleted the blog address (URL) you can’t buy the site upgrade (all upgrades need a blog to buy for) – so in your case it takes a while for search engines to index your new site – make sure to add new Posts to help search engines learn about your new address
