  My site http://iamerrika.wordpress.com/ is showing up on public search engines and I deleted the blog almost a year ago. I really need this to be removed! It’s starting to become a problem with all that I am trying to do.

  I believe I wrote in this forum months ago, but no one had gotten back. Thanks for the help.

  http://iamerrika.wordpress.com/ – is alive and well – why not just log in and set the blog to “Private”?

  dashboard >> Settings >> Reading >> Visible to only those I choose

  this is also the first time you have posted here with this account

  PS – deleting a blog does not remove it from search engines – some search search engines never forget others update their caches every 3 to 6 months

  Put a single line note on the old site that you have moved – or buy the site redirect to send any traffic to your new URL ($13.-/yr)

  I cannot do neither because the blog has been deleted! I’m not even sure why the blog is showing up on the search engines. I truly just want all associations with WordPress.com to be over with. This has been a hassle trying to get this old blog off, that I can no longer even make changes to because the blog was deleted! Why is it still showing up? I have no idea.

  What do I need to do in order to go above this online forum for help… because it seems that no one is helping. Do I need to hire a lawyer? Truly this is ridiculous. I’ve been trying now for over a year to get this old blog permanently off.
