  Hello,

  We have a problem with one of our websites showing up in Google Search and the other one is not.

  They both appear to have the same settings, but obviously different themes. We have not used any SEO, yet the first site showed up in Google search results page.

  We have not done anything special for the first website to make it show. So we are very confused why this second website is not showing.

  First website (Showing in Google): https://kodenuggetz.wordpress.com/
  Second website (Not showing): https://safetynotbyaccident.wordpress.com/

  This second website has been published about half year ago, so it should have now been indexed by Google.

  We are a bit concerned about this because we did a query:
  site:safetynotbyaccident.wordpress.com

  And Google says it knows nothing about our website.

  We did this query:
  site:kodenuggetz.wordpress.com

  And Google finds all the information.

  Please let us know what could be wrong with the second website?

  Thank you,
  Edward

  Hi Edward
  This document about Search Engines talks about why your site may not be indexed by search engines. Take a look, the answer is probably there!

  Hey Dave,

  Thanks man, I followed the google webmaster tools and verified the site in the Traffic settings. I also submitted the sitemap xml as instructed in the webmaster tools section of that document.

  Hopefully we will start to see some results in google soon. Will post back here if we don’t.

  Thank you for your help, much appreciated =)
  Edward
