Blog post not coming up in Google search as expected

  • winkypedia · Member ·

    i’ve read a lot of threads here on the forum about putting the right tag in in order to come up high in Google SEO etc and i think it’s been going well on some topics. My topics came up on top.

    until recently….
    i’ve written a post which i expected to come up high in Google search which is a review of a new restaurant by a popular chef not that many people have been to (as it’s hard to book). only a few people have reviewed it in their blogs. but when i google ‘Dinner by Heston Blumenthal review’ or ‘Dinner by Heston Blumenthal blog review’, I could not find my post at all after clicking pages and pages. There are other people only mentioning (not reviewing) the restaurant but their post come up.

    I have got a lot of clicks from other media but just not through Google search. What have I done wrong?

    Here is my post:

    Thanks for your help.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    There is no control over what Google chooses to index, or how they choose to display what they index, or where what they display is ranked in the display.

    Have you tried submitting a site map to Google?

    You need to have registered ownership of the site with Google first through their webmaster tools section of a Google account.

    I’ve just noticed that’s a self hosted site, so you would be better asking at wordpress.org

    @auxclass: yes, your analysis is correct. and i’ve registered my ownership witht Google already.
