WordPress MU

Hi.

I've had my wordpress blog up for at least a month now. I've been trying to build links pointing to my blog. I have at least 5 right now.

Anyways, the site is indexed with google, but only the main page. I have my permalinks set to only %postname for SEO purposes.

However, none of my pages have been indexed by google. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong (maybe in .htaccess) that is preventing the search engines from caching my pages.

I have modified my .htaccess... Take a look:

# Various rewrite rules.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Any help is appreciated.

Is this question related to WPMU?

Anyway, I don't know anything about mod-rewrite. But check your meta-tag and make sure the robot-tag is set to INDEX and FOLLOW or just ALL. Like this:

<meta name="robots" content="INDEX,FOLLOW" />

By the way, it can take reasonably longer than 1 month for Google to index your pages.

I had as
<meta name="Robots" content="INDEX,FOLLOW">

Is there any difference?

Nope :)

Consider setting this:

<meta name="revisit-after" content="14 days" />

But I once had a site that didn't get indexed by Google for almost 3 months - just be patient.

Well you see the index page gets reindexed every couple of days. So I know for sure google is there. That's why I believe it's some other issue.

Can we get a URL please because I would like to see what the other search engines are seeing.

Per the many discussions we've had on this topic over at WP.com, it seems like MSN picks a site up quicker than Google if you want to compare.

Yup, MSN has picked up a lot of pages:

MSN Search

And the same for Yahoo:

Yahoo Search

So I guess, it's just Google being lazy ;)

Probably. I see Google has grabbed the main page though. Give it time. It's run by two college drop outs. :)
