  Because you’ve just created it, of course. Google won’t index blogs until there’s something there to read. It can take up to seven weeks, but you can expedite the process by posting frequently, at least once a day.

  In the first three pages for what terms?

  The secret to dominating google isn’t really a secret. Blog frequently, blog interesting stuff so lots of people link to your posts, and use tags and categories wisely.

  You have NO CONTENT. That’s not a good start. I suggest you set aside dreams of SEO domination and just get started blogging. I teach blogging and social media, and it’s not uncommon for my students to be on the front page of google after the first class, but of course by then they’ve got four posts, all of them tagged, titled, and full of content.
