  I use the WordPress dot com version which I love – Can I add SEO components to my site such as Meta Content Description and Google tracking code? I have a Google account and another web site which I track – Can I use the same tracking code for my Word Press Blogs as well?

  Thanks

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

  Not unless you upgrade your account.

  Google will find your site and index it whether you have Meta description or not. Google does not wait for people to submit their sites, their servers/bots are crawling the net 24/7 – if your site gets hits, you can bet Google bots already found it.

  This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We bloggers cannot access metadata on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Please read http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/

  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/ Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
