How To Make A Blog Visible Or Noticeable To Search Engines
#1 Check Privacy Settings
The very first and basic step to make your blog visible to all different search engines is to set your privacy setting in wordpress to allow all search engines to index your blog.
WP Dashboard→Settings→Privacy→Site Visibility→Allow Search Engines To Index This Site
Not doing this may restrict your blog to the number of search engines. Because the more number of search engines index your blog, the more often your links will show up in search engine result pages.
#2 Submit Your Blog To Search Engines
A very simple, yet effective step to increase your blog’s visibility to different search engines.
Submit your blog url to Google
Submit your url to Bing
Your next step is to create a XML sitemap of your blog. You can easily create XML sitemap using wordpress plugins. I use wordpress seo plugin by Yoast for this. And submit this XML sitemap to google webmaster and bing webmaster accounts. Submitting XML sitemaps helps indexing your blog posts faster and makes your blog visible and gets noticed.
#3 Professional Blog Design
When a new visitor comes to your blog, the very first thing he will notice is your blog design. Therefore, choose your blog’s theme very carefully. Choose your blog theme which helps you to convert your blog posts.
