search engines

@Yana, two quick truths that trip people up: being hosted by Google (e.g., Blogger) does not guarantee instant Google indexing, and AOL/MSN typically surface results from the major engines they partner with. So the goal is to make your blog easy for Google and Bing to crawl and discover each new post. @RWD is right that ad networks like Clicksor are unrelated here.

Practical checklist you can do today:

• Make sure your blog is indexable. In your platform settings, confirm it is public/visible to search engines. Check for anything that blocks crawling or indexing.

  Things that would block you:

  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /

  or

  <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

  Also run a quick check with: site:yourblogdomain.com to see what is already indexed.

• Verify your site in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Submit your sitemap (most platforms provide one at /sitemap.xml or expose an RSS/Atom feed you can submit). After publishing a new post, request indexing for the URL.

• Link smartly. Make sure each new post is linked from your homepage and category/tag pages. A couple of relevant external links to your blog help new content get discovered faster.

• Announce updates. Many blogging platforms automatically ping update services; if not, use a ping service to notify engines when you publish.

If Yahoo finds you but others do not, give it time and double-check the above. Also avoid duplicate titles, ensure one canonical URL for each post (http vs https, www vs non-www), and keep posting consistently. Indexing often takes days, not minutes.
