  Why is the page behind my Google listing empty? I can’t find the page to provide some content.

  https://www.google.co.uk/#output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=bjj+kingston+upon+thames&oq=bjj&gs_l=hp.1.0.35i39l2j0i20l2.1185.2122.0.4769.3.3.0.0.0.0.98.237.3.3.0.eappsweb..0.0…1.1.9.psy-ab._-QhxOSlyuU&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45175338,d.d2k&fp=3451d4a0d0a2a276&biw=1366&bih=643

  I would really appreciate your help – I’m stuck!

  Thank you.

  PS – I’m not very technical and I’m surprised I’ve got my blog this far so thanks for generally making things so easy!

  Hi there, I’m glad you’ve found setting up a blog with us easy so far, that’s great to hear!

  If you’d like your site to show up in search-engine results for certain keywords, there are some things you can do, but ultimately it’s up to Google to determine how to rank your site. Here are some good guides to explore:

  Best of luck!

  Hi Kathryn,

  Thanks for the response. The problem is, my listing ‘Kingston upon Thames – BJJ Lifestyle Team’ is appearing as a Google listing – but when you click through the link you arrive on my site and the page says there is ‘nothing found’. Obviously I’d like to do a bit better than that and provide some content – but I can’t find the page on my site or work out how to add the content.

  So you get this:

  https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sugexp=eappsweb&gs_rn=9&gs_ri=psy-ab&tok=ixllU50SInI2fYI9NJf9Wg&cp=6&gs_id=o&xhr=t&q=bjj+kingston+upon+thames&es_nrs=true&pf=p&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&oq=bjj+ki&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45218183,d.d2k&fp=8523faffe82e9dcf&biw=1366&bih=643

  and then when you click through, you get this:

  http://bjjlifestyleteam.com/tag/kingston-upon-thames/

  Can you suggest how I might sort the problem out?

  Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks.

  Hi there,

  This is what’s called a “tag” page:

  http://bjjlifestyleteam.com/tag/kingston-upon-thames/

  If you had any posts that were tagged with “kingston-upon-thames” then they would be displaying here.

  It seems you have five tags that have no posts associated with them. You could delete those tags here since they’re not being used at the moment:

  My Happiness Engineer lady has made me very happy! All sorted, thank you. I really appreciate your help – I’m sure you hear this a lot, but I can’t tell you how pleased I am with WordPress. Thank you so much, Kathryn.
