Blog does not show up in search engines (5 posts)

    My blog www.svtechtalk.com does not show up in any searches on google or bing. Neither does any of the posts or their content.
    The blog is running the "Bible scholar" theme and works like it's supposed to except for the stats which are not working either.

    I have just updated to WP 2.8.4.
    I'm kind of a newbie so I was wondering if anyone has had the same problems?

    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    Here's why, I see this in your site's source code and it's keeping search engine robots away:

    <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

    Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Privacy and select "I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers"

    I might have been too quick - it's still not showing up anywhere on google or others...
    I had the "All in one SEO" plugin activated, but switched it off to see if it helps. Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Anders

    Google does not index immediately. You're going to have to have patience. Just because you changed the privacy settings doesn't mean you're going to show up in Google immediately. You have to wait for Google to come back to your site and index it. That could be anywhere between 1 day to 1 month (or more).
