   Several weeks ago I set up a site in WP 2.7 using this plug-in. Currently, the site is basically invisible in search engines (tested mostly in Google). It doesn't even show up even if I enter the domain name as the search term!!!

   Is there anything that could be preventing the site from being indexed? Whenever I create other sites (non-WP), they often get indexed very quickly and rank fairly high even before I optimize them. However, with this site I decided to let this plug-in do the optimization "right out of the box" as advertised. Yet the results are dismal.

   Please let me know what could cause this lack of success.

   Hi iridiax,

   Thanks for the tip, however I was already aware of this setting, and it has been set to allow search engines from day one.

   So I'm still baffled....

   Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools and then verify your site. Google uses Google Webmaster Tools to notify you of crawling errors with your site. It may take a few days for Googlebot to revisit your site and for them to report any errors.
