  Hello,

  I had a site on wordpress called buddhameditation and now when I ask “buddhameditation.wordpress.com” as usual on the Google search engine, there is no more results. It seems that the site disappeared.

  Can someone could explain that to me and how to solve this problem. It is many years since I have this blog. I don’t have any paid plan, it is under a free plan.

  Thank you for your answers.

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

  But I realized that the site buddhameditation.wordpress.com still exists because on the first message that I made there is a link and you can access the site.

  Can someone explain me ???

  Hi there,

  Because you are logged in to your @buddhananda account (to post this message), you can access your admin “dashboard” for buddhameditation.wordpress.com by going here: https://wordpress.com/home/buddhameditation.wordpress.com.

  I had a site on wordpress called buddhameditation and now when I ask “buddhameditation.wordpress.com” as usual on the Google search engine, there is no more results. It seems that the site disappeared.

  I’ve taken a look at your site, and I don’t see anything wrong with how it is displayed, and there seems to be nothing impeding anyone (people or search engines) from visiting it. We are also submitting your “sitemap” to all search engines, which you can access from here: https://buddhameditation.wordpress.com/sitemap.xml.

  However, we do not directly control what content search engines index and display in search results, so we do not have any insight into why you are not seeing any search results. I did check on this end and can confirm they do show some content when you search the site URL directly:

  

  Specifically, you mention this is an older site, and I can confirm the most recent blog post appears to be from October 30, 2021. It is not uncommon for Google and other search engines to remove sites from search results if they think they are no longer active, so you may also be able to get your site to show up in search results again by blogging more frequently.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
