2.8.4 Wordpress google indexing heads-up
- SEO |
Just a quick heads up as this Wordpress indexing issue has come up in a couple threads and seems to merit its own front page mention: some new installs of Wordpress 2.8.4 are set as no-follow/no-index by default. If you don't know this, you will wait and wait for your site to get indexed. And it never will, no matter how tantalizing your seo efforts are. To fix this you must go to your privacy settings and toggle on the "I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers" option and save.
This issue has been brought up in the Wordpress.org forum -- there is some thought there that it happens with new 2.8.4 Fantastico installs from the cpanel, which would fit my case, but it may happen from manual installs too. It's worth checking if you've been pulling your hair out over not getting indexed.
