  My isn’t very old, but it’s indexed in Google. I can find the homepage and all the other pages except my blog. None of my blog entries show up in Google even if I search for the title word for word. I can’t fathom this. I’m using wordpress.com and my site is http://www.thackeraycopywriting.com. Business is going well but I just can’t get my site to rank! And I’m worried my blog/keyword efforts are useless if Google isn’t going to crawl my blog. The blog URL is http://www.thackeraycopywriting.com/categories/blog. Any ideas? All help appreciated!

  I’ve submitted sitemap, ‘fetched’ the URL in webmaster tools. I even have authorship markup on the site. But my blog or ‘category’ page just won’t get indexed. hmmm.

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

  I’m afraid this may be a question for Google. Your sitemap has your posts listed ( http://thackeraycopywriting.com/sitemap.xml ) and everything is set correctly.

  Perhaps adding a widget to your home page with your recent posts may help encourage Google to crawl the blog posts. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t crawl them as this point.

  Bing has crawled your site and is returned posts in their search results: http://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Athackeraycopywriting.com&go=&qs=bs&form=QBLH

  I wish I had more concrete information for you. If you have any particular questions, please let me know. Cheers!
