  My site’s privacy is hidden but I find out that people can search it on Google. I don’t understand why, can anybody tell me please?

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

  Hi there,

  I see you’ve deleted the site now, but it wasn’t set to private. The logs show that the site was set to public, but you published individual posts as private. That means search engines indexed your site, but not the private posts.

  Please be aware that now that it’s deleted the site might still appear in search results for a few weeks. This is because Google and other search engines make cached copies of sites they index, and it takes a few weeks after you delete a site for their cache to be cleared. We have no control over this, as the cached copies of your site are stored on Google’s servers. You’ll need to contact Google directly to request removal of cached pages.

  Thank you very much for your help. It’s very useful. Now I understand exactly my problem. I will wait for a few week and decide what to do next. Thank you again and wish you have a nice day.
