Is has come to my attention that ALL of my sites that are installed with Wordpress 2.8.4 are not indexed by Google after days....weeks...and months...
I never had any problem indexing my websites within HOURS. So it must be some setting in wordpress that is causing this problem.
I went to dig further for the truth, and to my SHOCKING... new wordpress 2.8.4 installs are set as no-index as default.
If you're using Wordpress 2.8.4 and having problems to get your site indexed, you might want to check your Privacy Setting>>Blog Visibility as shown in this screen shot:
/facepalm
Change the damn setting to allow google to index your site...(I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers)
I know it sucks to build hundreds/thousands of links to your wordpress blogs to get your site indexed with that setting.
If you're not using wordpress and want to get your site indexed within hours, check this thread:
Good luck.
Hope this helps.
