What to do? You need to inform the search engines about your blog. Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines normally crawl the internet and indexes all new servers found. But in order to ease crawlers work and organize the indexed information you need a sitemap for your blog. The crawlers are actually looking for the sitemap file and the robots file and if not found they will try to index the site as is but not with best results.

The first plug-in for wordpress that I recommend is Google XML Sitemaps. The plug-in will generate a sitemap for your blog and then it will notify the search engines about the changes in your sitemap. In this way your latest articles will be automatically crawled and made available to the searches.

I was trying other platforms but in the past one and a half years it’s the main one used in all my blogs (I have several other blogs specialized on different topics, mainly on WordPress but I am using also SharePoint and Blogger platforms).
