  I just changed my blog name from http://www.introducingsandipan.wordpress.com to http://www.linuxinsomnia.wordpress.com

  web site link change was successful. But once after doing so, I am unable to find it in any search engine with any keyword combinations.

  Can anybody give me suggestions !!

  Thank you in advance.

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

  I wish they would put warnings in the “Change URL” instructions. Changing the URL basically wipes out your pre-existing pagerank. To search engines, your blog is essentially brand new. Keep blogging at the new address and within a few months you should regain pagerank.
