Did you know that on brand new WordPress blog installs, that the privacy settings by default are set to block search engine spider bots?! This is not a good thing – you want the search engines to be able to spider your site so you get ranking.
It’s very easy to change your privacy settings (image below):
- Log into your WordPress dashboard (/wp-admin)
- Go down to Settings > Privacy
- Tic the first radio button on the Privacy Settings page to make your blog visible to everyone, including search engines
- Click ‘Save Changes’
It’s that easy. Go check your settings right now and make sure you have your blog completely search engine friendly.
To YOUR Success,

P.S. When you checked your privacy settings, did you find your privacy settings were search engine friendly?
