Problems with google link
-
Hi there,
Does anyone know why the following link is coming up on google when people are entering key words such as ted whitley gardens.
This is a page with a error message that should not be appearing???http://gardensbyted.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/the-gardens-of-ted-whitley/
The below link is were they should be directed, which is a static homepage..
http://gardensbyted.wordpress.com/
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can also click on the word “member” under anyone’s name in this forum to see what they have posted here.
Google finds and does what it wants (at least in my experience, it moves in mysterious ways…). If you don’t want something you are writing (or trying) to be seen, save it as a draft only and preview it. Or publish but set the visibility to “private” so it won’t be picked up by search engines.

I’m not quite understanding what you want to be the structure of your blog to become, but you may want to contemplate the difference between pages and posts:
http://support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/New posts that you will publish now, and in future, will likely/may overcome the now defunct link you are concerned about.

I am just wandering why it would come up with an error page? which reads
“Looks like you have a problem here sir/madam. You sure you have the right place? Maybe you got a little lost? Maybe you’re looking for something you’re not supposed to find? Either way, just go search for it, it can’t hurt.”
Is this a wordpress default message?
My planning was to have a static page as the homepage for the purpose of this website. I would have thought this would have been the link that appears when people are trying to find the site? not an error message.
Cheers,

It comes up as an error page because you deleted it after Google found and cached it.
It is a wordpress.com default message:
because YOU deleted that post after the search engines found it.People are directed to it by way of Google (and/or other search engines). Search engines found it, and continue to cache it.
Write some new posts to make your most recent info more relevant to SEO. New posts most likely will make that old info sink down to later and later pages in searches.

If your site has been verified with Google Webmaseter Tools, you can ask them to remove that URL. It may take a few weeks, but typically no more.
