    Ive a blog and since i installed WP and some plugins it has worked fine, however I checked today and my site isnt there in Google search, I checked the cache and the new post hadnt been crawled.

    Any idea what it wrong? My blog is www. lcd enclosure.co dot uk / news

    just remove the spaces.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    I havent looked at the site, but I bet its your privacy settings within the WP admin. It may be set to block search engines, its a set to this as default in some versions/instalation methods.
    Chance the settings, your site should be cached soon after, if that is the problem.

    nope, the blog setting is for everyone to view and NOT blocked to search engines.

    Thanks though.

    Ok, cool. Try placing some links back to your blog, get the robot visiting.
    Good luck mate

    Not sure if I am looking at the right blog if it is then your title is just your domain name and I can not find your keywords or description either. Your title should not be your domain name, it should be relevant to keywords that people might search for in Google.

    If it is the right blog have you installed in seo plug in as these do help to get google to pick your posts up. You also need to change your title / description / keywords to give google a hint.

    Your blog is in the Google search, it's just not listed under any keywords or search terms because you don't have any applied.
    If you search for your exact title, and exact blog posts..it's there..but who's going to do that ?

    Thanks for that to both of you for pointing out my mistake...all in one seo IS installed but with the hack of last week it seems to be all messed up.

    I've changed the title (embarrassed)! Guess I will have to leave it until I post another thread, in the hope it gets picked up.

    A BIG THANK YOU!:D

    Hi Geester, Go into your admin panel and right at the bottom under settings should be the SEO plug in. Fill in the keywords there.

    Don't forget to do the keywords for each blog post as well. This should be different to your homepage and more relevant to what you are talking about. The panel for that can be found at the bottom of each post when you are editing.

    Sorry geester, my post doesnt make sense but you changed your post from keywords to title. You must still change your description and keywords.

    Once you have done this then post a comment on a high rank do follow blog or something similar and Google will pick it up quite quickly.

    Google is great but most of the time needs a gentle push.
