'(no title)' front page
-
Hi
Two questions about how my website displays:
First is it possible to have a front page with no name but without ‘(no title)’ showing whenever the website is linked to in facebook for example? I don’t really want ‘Home’ to show on my homepage but that looks better than (no title) in links.
Second, how do I get my main pages to show in google search results underneath my main url?
Hope these make sense – I can’t see a way to upload an image to show an example.
Many thanks
VictoriaThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We have no control over what is displayed by social l networks like the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

re: search engine discoverability
It can take weeks for search engines to index your site content. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/ so you know we have no control over search engines positioning or appearance in the SERPs (search engine page results).To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com hosted blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
Search engines aren’t attracted to sites that are page based. Sites that are post based where publication of posts, not pages is frequent are more attractive to them. To gain search engine attention, I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently.That’s because it can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Ok re. the ‘no title’ thing.
Re the google search results, I didn’t mean the discoverability – I was referring to what actually shows when my website is listed. So instead of just the link to the home page, sometimes search results show key pages listed underneath as well so someone browsing can go straight to a specific part of a website. Hope this makes sense? Is it possible to attach a screen grab to this convo?
Thank you
