  After four days I thought my ‘new’ website would be found on a search engine. All I keep getting is my old website address. I would like to let everybody know about it, but whats the use, even Google can’t seem to find it. I’m sure I’ve done something wrong, please help me. My new web address is jondavidcunningham.me. I started this site and registered this domain the same night. 3/13/15

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

  Hi Jon,

  It can take some time for brand-new sites to be listed in search engines. (For example, Google can sometimes take 4-6 weeks to add new websites to their results.) WordPress.com can’t control how long that process takes, but we do notify search engines every time you update posts and pages on your site.

  You can try verifying your site through Google’s webmaster tools — that may speed up the process to add your site to Google’s search results.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that! You can also read more about WordPress.com and Search Engines if you’d like to learn more.

  Thank you so much. I truly had forgotten just how long it took for my old website to be recognized. Thanks again.
