    I recieved an email from wordpress team Januari 31st saying that my page, Advanced Suturing Course (ASC), was hidden from search engines by default. The team said it was because of an error in their system, and that they had fix it so that the search engines can find our page and included it in search results.

    But until recently (March 14th), I still find that my page cannot be seen from search engines. I’ve tried managing my site’s visibility in Settings manually and it was already selected as ‘can be seen from search engines’

    So, what can i do to make my page visible again? thankyou.

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

    Hi –
    I want to clarify if you have ever been able to find your website via Google search?

    Adding quality content to your site by making new posts/pages will help with search engine results. It takes 4-6 weeks for site to be indexed.

    Hey there,

    We apologize for the glitch that caused your site to be hidden from search engines. You can find the site in search engines right now, but at staff-zinnia mentioned, it’ll take 4-6 weeks for the site to show up in search engines for the particular keywords and phrases you are wanting. Be sure to continue to create quality content on a consistent basis, and you’ll be good to go.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    staff-zinnia Yes, i’ve been able to find my website via Google search previously. Now as staff-doublebassd said, my site can be found in search engines but for particular keywords and phrases it still doesn’t show. For example if I search “advanced suturing course” in Google search, i still cannot find my site.

    Thank you for your suggestion, I will continue creating quality content on a consistent basis, and I hope my site can be found soon in the search engines.

    Does anyone ever have the same problem as me? and usually how long did it take until particular keywords can be found in search engines?

    I’m sure that other users have had similar issues, but I think the length of time it took for search engines to pick up sites differed depending on the quality of the site, the topic of the site, and how consistently the user was posting on the site.

    I think with more specific topics such as yours, not as many people are trying to rank in search engines, so you should see results sooner than a site with a broader topic. I could be wrong because I am not familiar with suturing. It could be more popular than I give it credit for =)
