You may have, but if it is not listed by the search engines in their list with search results, you have it for nothing. The visitors should be able to find you among the millions of pages that might appear in a single search. For example, if you write “search engines” on the Google search engine, for example, you have lower chances to find this article. But if the page is indexed by Google quickly, you may even read the article in the same day when it’s published. There is another way that can be used to read the article in the same day when it is written. To bookmark the Website where you find good articles and see when a new piece of information is delivered. You decide whether to read it or not.
Those who want to have their pages indexed more quickly, instead of letting the bots to do their job, can give Google a hand and use some links to other sites that have a high page rank, operation that will definitely provide them the success they wanted in the first place.
The most common way to create a blog is by using the Blogger or WordPress platforms. If you see that your site is not indexed yet by the search engine, ask that search engine in question. Do not contact the blogging platform that you use for writing the blog posts. They cannot help you in this problem. Google, for example, provides all sort of information and resources for Webmasters. You can’t fail with Google, you simply can, they tell you everything you need to know, even if you don’t know English, because they use a translation method (Google Translate), which is not good as you might think it is, but still, it does the job and you can understand the main idea. And excuse me, if you are a programmer or Webmaster, most likely you know English or at least the terms mentioned on the Help pages.
The blogging platforms send automatically notifications to Google, but from then on, it is the Google’s job to index those new sites or pages. The time in which the site can be indexed can take from 4 weeks to 6 weeks. After Google visits your site, it will take another 4 weeks until the bots will come again, in the happiest situation. If you write 6 or 7 posts every day, in 4 weeks you will accumulate some content. And you can’t be sure if Google will see you pages, at its next arrival on your site. To speed up the process, you can register on the Google’s site and request for an update every time when you find it necessary.
There are bloggers which don’t want to appear in the Google’s search results list, even though few months ago they appeared. Right now, they do not write posts, nor they want to maintain the old content indexed by Google. In this situation, they can do the following thing: they have to use the Website removal request tool.
If you requested WordPress to block the search engines to see your site and you are indexed by Google, you should contact them instead of talking to WordPress. At the privacy settings, you can select to block the search engines, but if the content you wrote, was already indexed by Google, you have to contact Google in that situation. And one more thing, this “block” feature is used more as an advice for the search engines to not index your pages, but they are not obliged to obey the advice.
There is a way to make your content to not be visible to everybody. You have to use the Post Password feature to protect every single post that you create. You can choose from there the option that says to make the post visible only to the users you choose, and then you can publish your content, without being afraid that it will be seen by the search engines or by the eyes of someone that you don’t want to read what you write. You have to use the Options setting in the Privacy section.
