Google search issues

    Hi there,

    I am wondering why when I search for my site on google it displays the following:

    “inlantapewaukee.com/
    A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt – learn more.”

    how do I make my site visible on google with a description that connects it whenever someone does a google search?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    That is the result of making your blog private and then later changing it to public, and that result will move down in the SERPs the more you publish.

    It can take weeks for search engines to index content in a new blog and/or to re-index content under a new URL. What attracts search engines is unique content in posts (not pages) that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. Start now publishing original content posts frequently two or even three times weekly. For more information read > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/21/omg-i-cant-find-my-blog-on-google/

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    WordPress.COM is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything into the <header> or into the <body> . Consequently we cannot enter a meta-description. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/

    WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using an SEO plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.
