My Domain name I bought from google apps for business isnt working
-
I bought my domain name from google apps for business and then I masked the domain name to my wordpress blog and now it nor the others including the generic word press domain is showing up in the searches. Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We do NOT provide any support for forwarding and masking so be clear on that please. We do provide a domain mapping upgrade and support for it.
If you would like to use a domain URL that you already own on the blog hosted by WordPress.com you will first need to register a .wordpress.com blog, purchase an upgrade for it, and set up domain mapping.
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.
Please read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
If you own a domain then see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

I have good news.
Nameservers Validated!
Congratulations! The nameservers appear to be set up correctly for apprentuszartz.com.Primary Blog is Set
apprentuszartz.com is set as the primary domain for apprentuszartz.wordpress.com and will appear in the address bar when you visit the site.Hold Your Horses!
It can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at apprentuszartz.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, and try again. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies -
I am in Canada and the domain mapping redirect is working fine for me. It is not unusual for the last place to flush their DNS caches to be your own ISP. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during this stage is to be patient.
