my blog is now showing on google

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I’ve created a blog named energieetconnexion.wordpress.com but I have a problem: when people (or me) search the blog on google (even writing the complete addres) nothing shows up. But when I send a link to people and they just have to click on to it, there’s no problem and they can see my blog. Is it possible that my blog is invisible and unfindable because I haven’t bought a domain name? It sounds weird to me, but I don’t really know what to think. I’ve checked already the privacy settings and they’re fine, they’re on public. So… is there anyone that can suggest a solution or give me an advice? Thanks a lot for the support,

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

    you should first register your site with google

    use the link below for instructions.

    then from there it should show up in a detailed search

    cheers

    Thank you. I tried to follow the instructions but when I arrive at the domain section on my dashboard I only have one choice and when I select it I don’t have the option of “name server and dns” mentioned in the instructions at point 6. I have nothing to select actually. My only choice is “change your site address”. Is it because I did non buy a domain but still using the .wordpress.com ?
    Thanks

    Yes, that’s why. The link provided by csmoran9 is to verify custom domain names (for example yoursite.com) and does not apply to you.

    Is your website new? It can take several weeks for new websites to appear on Google and this is normal. Continue posting new content to your website and it will eventually show up on Google.
