    Add a description meta tag if you don't already have one. This is normally a temporary problem, likely it will fix itself.

    Your site needs a description tag. Open your site in your web editor and usually under the File tab there is a Properties section where you detail Site name, description and keywords. Save it all and then re-upload that page.

    The code has a description in it as you are using the All in One SEO plugin and have obviously entered it right. So I would guess this will correct itself. I don't know as I am no expert in this. But if the HTML code has the description code plainly listed, I would think that Google will pick it up. So can't say why it isn't showing up now.

      Hi Drew,

      I believe I have spotted your problem. You have a 302 Temporary redirect from the www. to the non-www. This 302 redirect method will cause Google to drop your snippet and if you don't fix it soon you will get completely de-indexed.

      Since you are using Wordpress you need to go into your general settings and set the "WordPress address (URL)" and the "Blog address (URL)" both to:

      Code:
      http://www.healingbackpain.info
      After you have done this, make sure that your page loads correctly and you are good to go. Just wait 4 or 5 days and you will see the problem go away. You can go out and get some fresh backlinks to speed the refresh of you page listing.

          It's all in the meta tags, I guess. But if you said that you already have your meta descriptions tags, then I guess it's all set. All I just want to ask is if you had installed your meta tags correctly. As we all know, it is hard to put your meta tags in wordpress. Try these URLs, I hope that they can help in your meta tags (please replace all the [dot] with periods):

          Hi Drew,

          It hasn't been 4-5 days yet, has it? I just checked your listing and it looks like it's fixed now.

          congrats!

              Hi Drew,

              I though I did see you site listed properly at the time I posted that. Now I'm seeing the same problem again, but you also have an indented listing, which is good.

              I noticed that you still have a canonical issue. You are using inconsistent URLs and you seem to be completely missing links to your home page, assuming it is www. healingbackpain.info , you are confusing Google, since you don't link to your home page they interpret that to mean you don't want that page to be indexed.

              Make all your URLs consistent, don't leave the www out on some links and include it on others. And make sure that every page on you site links back to the home page. Fix these issues and you problem will go away.

    I have posted the solution before, the exact thing happened to me and this is how I corrected it-
    Make SURE your WordPress blog's Privacy setting is set to be 'visible to search engines' since it is set to 'not visible' by default. And just add your site to the Google Webmaster Tool and submit a sitemap, it will fix automatically it in a few days.

    Drew,

    Your site has 5 pages indexed, however is still "unranked" by Google. Also, you have all but 2 backlinks. I understand that your site is only 13 days old, but it is good practice to get some nice SEO done and then submit to G with a sitemap.

    PS: In the future you may want to comment out your full URL, otherwise the post will rank higher than the site will, which can either be good or bad. In this case, the problem you are having is is ranked higher than your site is.
