trouble getting wordpress site indexed

14 years ago

Is it a WP installation on your own domain, or a free wordpress.com one?

Also, have you pinged the entries you have already made on the blog?

When you say it isn't indexed, do you mean the site is not indexed at all - ie a site:domain search finds nothing, or that your articles are not showing up for your keywords?

Martin

Patience young grasshopper...

Go to settings-privacy in wp admin and check that the
hide from search engines button isn't checked.

Then Submit your feed to feedage.com and feedagg.com and
burn it at feed burner.

Dont go over board with the bookmarking or you'll get
sandboxed before you even start. Plus next time don't submit
it with webmaster tools, you get more brownie points from
the big G

  This is likely the cause as its set to hide from the search engines by default and
  needs to be enabled on every new WP install.

It is WP installation on my own domain, domain name is keyword rich, contain the keyword the site is optimized for

To my surprise I see some results when I do site:<niche site>, I see google finds results for my domain. But Google Webmaster Tools report that the site is not indexed :confused:

Not sure what you mean by this:
"have you pinged the entries you have already made on the blog"
But I've done pingomatic or what that is called.

But my WP site consist of mainly static pages, I discovered to day that <niche site>/feed/ did have a helloworld post. So I deleted that post and posted another post relevant with text relevant to my niche

Thanks

Bookingmarking. Social bookingmarking sites like digg, mixx, and propeller are crawled by google and other search engines constantly.

There are a ton of different social bookingmarking sites you can choose from. I would personally stay away from automatic bookingmarking software.

Keep in mind bookingmarking your site is really not for the SEO benefits, but more to get indexed quickly.

Hope this helps....

Thanks

Is your WP blog SEO'd?

Did you submit your Sitemap? How about adding Feed burner code to your header? Google Analytics to your footer? These are all ways to let Google Know you're "out there".

Did you install the All-In-One Seo plugin?

Thanks

You know... the first thing I can say is ... give it some time. Next, here are a few things you can do and things I would think about:

First, do a few blog comments. Go to some high PR blogs in your niche. Throw your link in the url line of the form ... and enter an intelligent comment. Don't worry about anchor text. And, don't worry about do follow/no follow. For your purposes, you just want to get a good indexing.
Forum comment in your niche. Go to Google and type in [your niche] + forum. Then, put your domain in your signature.
Don't worry about social bookmarking. I truly think they have lost their effectiveness. I tried that on a recent site that I built, trying to get it indexed. Social bookmarks were there for a while... and it just never happened.
Keep in mind that it may take a while for ezinearticles articles to get indexed, themselves. That has been my experience.
Throw a link in one of your existing blogs... or the blog of a friend.

Just taking one of those will get you indexed. And, yep, I would give it some time.

Thanks

Now all the pages in my site is indexed. Among the tactics you used I utilized these: 1, 5 and 6. In addtion I posted dofollow link on at least 2 linkdirectories

Now my site is on SERP 113, need to get it higher on the rankings... ie need to create high authority backlinks!

Just got an email from ezonearticle, they say they won't approve my latest article

, they wrote this:

"Your article MUST be informative in nature and must not contain excessive promotion or sales copy. In order for your submission to be accepted, please ensure it does not contain reference to your name, company, or product, and is not written as sales copy promoting the products and services of others. Such material should be included only in the 'Author SIG - Resource Box.'"

Some people don't like the most straight forward method but mayve just sibmit it through G. Add URL. Using webmaster is a good idea. If g can't verify ownership, they might be less likely to index you.

I got my site indexed in about 10 days. Here is what I did.
1. Submitted my site to google, bing, yahoo etc
2. Submited my links to digg, mixx, propeller and few others
3. commented on 100 blogs in a day. (this one was hard)
4. Submitted by scoop to shetoldme.com and I think this one really did the trick because my submission managed to land on the index page which has a good PR.

Thanks

Friends say they get indexed within a day or so by tweeting the link on Twitter or by going to G's keyword research tool and putting their own domain in the "website content" box so Google checks the page for keywords.

I've personally had the best luck simply bookmarking with StumbleUpon. That one bookmark got me indexed in a day.

Thanks

Have you submitted it to search engines? Make sure you don't submit it more than once.. :-) All I can say is that it will appear sooner or later but ofcourse it will be indexed depending on the keywords you are searching for.. :-)
