   I really like WP and the theme Talian. How do I optimize my site so that Google searches all pages and returns search results on Google's Web search site, not blog search?

   Thanks

   Google SEO or Search Engine Optimization.

   Thanks, I tried those, but didn't find anything specific to this question.

   If you want your site to not appear on Google's blog search, block your feed in robots.txt.

   Actually, I don't mind if things show up on the Blog search -- but since I just switched from a static page website to WP, my pages don't show up on the main Google search, and that's my problem.

   Is there something I need to do to make it searchable for their main site, or is this just a matter of time before my new pages show up?

   Thanks

   I don't see anything in your source that would block robots. Check for Googlebot in your logs to see if it is visiting your site.

   Google can be slow to index new sites and pages from low or no PageRank sites (part of SEO is link building to increase PageRank).

   Thanks, iridiax. It probably is time/link dependent.
