In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesI’m doing that now. They have totally incomprehensible methods of verifying ownership of Websites. I can’t figure any of them out, so I’m just going to give up and tell the Web designers tomorrow that unless they fix my problem, I’ll sue them.
Anyway, thanks for trying.

In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesI didn’t understand a thing you just wrote. My knowledge of Websites is frozen in 2003, the last time I had one.
Back in those days, the designers did everything for you. Today, they promise you that they will, but they don’t.
I guess I’ll just have to threaten a lawsuit.

In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesWhen you Google “A letter to David Shiner and Bill Irwin,” the description says:
“A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt”
I found this information on the forum here:
“The robots.txt file is dynamically generated by WordPress. WordPress does not provide a way to get rid of it.”
So can I at least reset it so that it lets descriptions through? Or do I have to get a plugin to override this “feature”?

In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesIf you Google the title of my soon-to-be-published novel “Chasing the Last Whale,” you’ll find it on the “About” page on the Dot Com Website and on the “News” pages of the Dot Net Website.
However, I have five more pages on it on the Dot Com Website, and none of them appear on Google.

Could this be a coding problem? My Web designers made tons of errors. Could they have somehow screwed up the coding so that some pages of my Website show up on search engines but others don’t?

In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesThe tagline has “Welcome to my world!” written in it, which I didn’t write.
Even so, this doesn’t appear on search engines. In Bing, here’s what it says:
“We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.”
My former Website was changed to http://thomaswictor.net/
On Bing and Google, the description for the Dot Net site says:
“How a former music journalist survived ten insane years in the Los Angeles music scene.”

In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesthere is no immediate way up to the top of the search rankings unless you manage to get a large amount of sites on the internet interested and linking to your site on day one
I’m not looking to get to the top of the search rankings; I’m just trying to get my content to appear.
Nothing I’ve written appears on any search engine. When I post comments on Websites, they appear in Google on the same day.
Why is the content on my Website invisible?
P.S. I’ve just found my first Google hit:
“A letter to David Shiner and Bill Irwin.”
When I just searched “Anatomy of a German Flamethrower Attack” on Google again, THIS TOPIC appeared! So this forum is instantly appearing on Google, but my Web pages aren’t.

In reply to: My Website content is invisible to search enginesLooks like that you do not have a description meta tag.
Where the heck do I write a description?
