  Dear support team:

  my blog does not appear in google anymore – while a few days ago it did. yeah, I know: I’ve read trough the FAQs but my case is different: 3 days ago when I googled my name, my blog would appear as a google search result. Now it does not even appear if I google the exact web address, i.e. http://www.katesikavica.com; my payments for domain registration are up to date; I’ve checked that; and my privacy settings do allow to to index my blog. Can you pleas help: why has it completely disappeared from google? Thanks, Kate

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

  Hi Kate,

  I’ve checked and you’re right—everything is set on WordPress.com’s end for your site. Have you signed up for Google Webmaster Tools (instructions )?

  With GWT and Bing’s offering, you can see what Google and Bing have for your site, which may reveal more about why it isn’t appearing in your searches.

  In GWT, you can submit a sitemap to help Google index your site. Your sitemap’s address is http://katesikavica.com/sitemap.xml

  Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
