Blocked from a search engine

I have been starting a few blogs over the last few weeks.

For some reason none of them have been indexed and it was really starting to annoy me. Especially blogaboutanimals.com as I had built some quality links for this site.

So I went searching for an answer.

It turns out that Wordpress blogs installed with GoDaddy Hosting Connection are automatically hidden from the search engines.

This can be easily turned off by going to settings>privacy and setting your site to be visible to the search engines.

I wasted nearly 2 hours on this!!! But am very glad it is sorted.
