• Hi,

    I recently migrated my site from
    "handcrafted" PHP code to WordPress 2.0. Before the migration it took just a few hours from the time I uploaded a new page (<subject>.php) until I could find it by https://www.google.com/search?q=site:mySite.com%20<keyword&gt; The static pages under WordPress control (www.mySite.com/?page_id=<999>) however are not found even though they are up for several days now. I even use the sitemap plugin (https://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/05/google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final). I thought it might have something to do with "Nofollow" (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/nofollow), but this affects only external links in postings and I checked the HTML source of my WordPress pages to verify that they hardly contain the word "nofollow" at all. The postings actually are found, but only in the Google Blog search, not in the regular search.

    The Archives showed that this is an FAQ and one of the most frequent answers was "use a sitemap", but that’s what I did. The other answer was "be patient". After all https://www.google.com/blogsearch found my test installation, which was just up for a few weeks.

    Any ideas how to make my static pages (or to be more precise “Static Page eXtended“) searchable under Google?

    Christian
