Thanks for the videos the would help my blog to stand in search results. I am confused whether i am using no index for my blog it may be the reason that i am not getting the real traffic
Yours is a wordpress.ORG inastall and I do not know what you mean by an index. I suspect you may mean a sitemap. If that’s the case I do recommend submitting one. This is the link to the wordpress.ORG support forum where you can get the help you need http://wordpress.ORG/support/
