  What steps? Other than waiting and maybe verifying your site via Google Webmaster Tools, there are no other steps, per the answer I gave you previously.

  There is NO content at the site linked to your name – just an about page with an empty blog – why should Google bother? There is nothing to bother with – make a few Posts.

  I’m new to this. I verify it via google webmaster tools. I am in the process of making posts and posting it. I was just wanted to at least find my site when I Google search for it. I wanted to know the the reason why it didn’t show up when I search the new domain name and can when I search canofsmarts.wordpress.com.

  As auxclass said, you need to start making posts. Until then, Google may not even index your site at all. Patience and hard work are the key here. Good luck.

  I am just trying to get some clarification on what I need to do so that I can find my site when I search for it.

  1) make more post, will do I have a couple I’m working on.
  2) is that all I need to do for now to see my page when I search for it on google?

  Thank you both for helping me clarifying my inadequate knowledge of this.

  yes – keep in mind that it can take a few weeks for Google to index a new site. I have another site that is indexed fine and I get search engine traffic to every day – all I did was make new Posts and after a while Google indexed my site.

  thank you for letting me know. If in a couple of weeks I still can not find my site when i search for it on google. Is it because of something on my end or something else is happening.

  As explained above, it can take weeks (or even months) for search engines to pick up your site.

  It takes content to get search engines’ attention: you have ONE post. What do you expect?

  The internet is entirely give to get: in order to get anything out of it, you have to give it material.

  Post more.
