Google doesn’t see my blog.

  • My blog is https://www.urbantrash.co.za. It’s been running for about 6 months, and gets loads of hits per day. What I don’t understand is why Google doesn’t see it.

    Before Ihad the blog on the same domain, I had a static HTML website, and came up as the first result, in Google. After I migrated to WordPress, it slowly lost its Google position.

    Why is this? How can I fix this? In fact, when you do a Google search for ‘urban trash’, everything that RELATES to my site appears, but not my own site. Even my own Wikipedia entry appears, but not my site.

    What has happened?

  • Yes. Use a search engine (Google, Yahoo, etc.) to search for these words (without the quotes):

    “.htaccess” “mod_rewrite” “redirect”

    I have performed the search in google. But I still don’t have any idea of how to solve my problem. My site – https://www.k-director.com still an invisible site for google. ??

    Well (and I’m addressing this to both of you), with all due respect, you can keep saying that it’s invisible, or you can learn *why* that is.

    First, it’s not invisible; your site is in Google.
    Search for site:yourdomainname.com

    You need to ensure that your page titles are different from each other, and are not just URLs (e.g., https://www.whatever.com) or your domain name.

    You might also look around to see what plugins you can find to add a meta description to your pages.

    Lastly, you need to ensure that search engines cannot reach your website by both https://www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com — that’s what the mod_rewrite is for.

    This has been worrying me lately. I have one blog up, and am ready to start the second (and last!@!) one shortly.
    My url is https://www.mywebsite.com/my_blog_name/ . My second one will be https://www.mywebsite.com/wordpress .

    Will these web addresses be picked up by google? Or will it think that all 3 are the same as https://www.mywebsite.com ?

    Is there a way, and SHOULD I change these blog urls now to https://www.my_blog_name/ ? Because if that’s what I should do, I want to do it before I start the second blog!

    Thanks, people smarter than I!
