Why isn't my blog's URL recognized by serach engines?

    (1) My blog posts are not searchable or located through search engines; and
    (2) When I type my blog’s URL (sportscognition.wordpress.com) into a search engine, the search results include only one of my blog entries (and it’s always the same blog entry).

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

    WordPress.com automatically sends notifications to Google with every post and page update. However, search engines can take 4 to 6 weeks (or more) to add any new sites.

    For more information about WordPress.com and search engines, please see this guide:

    Search Engines

    It will also take a couple of days from the time you created your blog for it to show up in WordPress.com search results. For more information please see this link:

    WordPress.com Search

    You can change your blog’s visibility to search engines by visiting Settings > Reading in your Dashboard, and looking under “Site Visibility”.

    Please check out our support documentation on that feature here:

    … and let me know if you have any questions. :)
