Last night I decided to announce to the Twitter world that I was a knob, I didn’t go into any details as I was too frustrated at the moment. I have decided that now’s a good time to explain further as to why I am a knob :)

For an unknown reason the past few sites I have launched I have had a very tough time getting them indexed and ranking well with-in the search engines, mostly Google. I have solved this mystery. It seems that the default install of WordPress with my cpanel is now using an enhanced Privacy Policy by default – in turn blocking search engines from crawling the site.

This is very easy to change, you just need to go into the WordPress admin and Under Settings, Privacy Policy, select “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone…”.

I for one really hope that WordPress changes the default back to that. I’m really frustrated and embarassed it too me this long to notice. Like I said – yes I am a knob!
