  Have you registered your blog with Google?

  See the several other threads in the forum on issues with Google today. It’s somethin’g on Google’s end, not WP’s and they need to fix it.

  Actually, it may be something on WordPress’s end. I just checked my Facebook page and it has not received my last several blog posts. Nothing for several days. That’s most unusual, and I know that staff are tweaking our blogs behind the scenes. I’m going to stick a modlook tag on this and see if we can get some feedback on this.

  Just to say that I’ve seen both this and the support ticket- looking into it :)

  Thanks. I am seeing way more google referrals under Referrers on the stats page, but I know that overall I’m not being treated by them the way I had been before. I can’t believe a PR 4 site could outrank me when I have two posts on a subject, properly categorized, and they have one and it’s off the front page by now. I’m three pages back in Google when I should be in the top five! /whine

  FYI Google is also having problems with the FAQ and forums. I typed “Post from Word” site: wordpress.com into it and it returned nothing useful, although I know for a fact there’s a frequently-referenced FAQ post called “Why not to post from Word” (which it also couldn’t find).

  @raincoaster
  site:faq.wordpress.com post from word is a better Google search

  True, but usually the FAQ outranks the other sites. And it’s always worked before: I’ve been using it for two years!
