  Hello, I have very odd problem. I had a blog named ” https://sqldefterim.wordpress.com ” and I had little audience from search engines. I haven’t posted anything since September and decided to share again. To this point there was nothing wrong with my blog.

  After that, I created a new blog because my post were not in same subject. Its name was ” plutocode.wordpress.com “. Then I saw “Pages” tab on my old blog, I decided to create a page for my new post and I turned off the ” plutocode.wordpress.com “. Well, to this point there was nothing wrong with my blog. Still I had a little daily audience from search engines.

  Now the problem starts here because I tried to change my old blog (sqldefterim.wordpress.com) name to “plutocode.wordpress.com “, I got error about naming, it said ” there is a blog with same” so I couldn’t change the name of my old blog. I changed the blog name in my language “plutokod.wordpress.com “, I mean I’m from Turkey “code means kod” in my language. At this point my problem started. I posted my new documents, shared on Facebook and google+ I got visitors but just from a post I shared on Facebook and Google +. I waited 3 or 4 days to google index but my old post didn’t indexed. There were tags at my posts.

  I mean my daily audience disappeared after the blog name change.
  All my post are not “copy paste” post. They are all based my experience and my creative mind.

  I deleted my old posts and shared again with new tags, still no audience.
  I added a google meta tag, still no audience.

  Before this situation, all the things were fine, I was happy with my audience but now they are all gone.

  Is there a solution about this ? I could start a new blog but I don’t want to lose my work. I spent nearly all my day on just a post, sometimes it took a week because I’m doing it seriously. If you can help me, I will be appreciated.

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

  Hi there!

  I took a look over the site visibility settings for plutokod.wordpress.com and can see that search engines are currently being discouraged from indexing your site.

  To change this setting in WordPress.com, firstly head to My Sites and then select Settings in the sidebar. Here’s a direct link for you:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/general/plutokod.wordpress.com

  Under your General Settings, you’ll see ‘Discourage search engines from indexing this site’ is currently checked under Site Visibility. Change this to ‘Allow search engines to index this site’ and then Save Changes.

  After you change your settings, search engines will be encouraged to start indexing your site. Connecting your site up with Webmaster Tools might help to speed up this process:

  Hope this helps! Please do let me know if you have any extra questions.
