not showing up in wetpaint search results
Jan 13 2010, 11:40 AM EST
do i have to somehow make my wetpaint site go live? when i do a "Search This Site" from within wetpaint, the results come up empty. i use my keyword in my page title and frequently throughout the site so i would assume my page would be included in the search results. how do i get my site indexed by the wetpaint search feature? Do you find this valuable? |

I have been wondering this too. In all of my pages, I use my keyword. Which is Sherlock Holmes. But it still doesn't show in the search results.

"do i have to somehow make my wetpaint site go live?I like you have tried every combination to find my site. Even putting in the full site name and the results were always the same..no results found. When I used a tag or keyword, my results found those sites on the Fandex list and pages on Wetpaint Central. but not my site. So, I think your site has to reach the Top 100 listed sites on the Main Wetpaint Page. or you can read this page for SEO information http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Advanced+SEO If you want to search for a site, the only way you may possibly find it is via a Google Search by typing in keywords, or name or subject followed by "Wetpaint.Com" Do you find this valuable? |

"But, My site used to be on the results. That is the thing...."Yes, that also happened to my wiki. My wiki is a quite popular one, one that was mentioned in the Wetpaint blog once and got a Wetpaint golden paint can award, so I do not think it is only the top 100 wikis. Do you find this valuable? |

Search all sites used to work. Then it didn't work. Then it came back again. And this has been over a 2 year period of time. Right now the search all sites does not do what it says. The results are going to be TV FANDEX listings for the most part.

Hmm... Strange how this problem is happening..But guys, (s)he said that it was "Search this site" not "Search for sites". This has been happening to me too..I don't use keyword tags, but I can still find things throughout my site. However, nothing showed... Er... try adding keyword tags if you don't use them.. It helped me.. But I don't use them anymore.. But thanks to those.. I easily found my stuff. Okay. try it.. Thanks! -Katriel M. Do you find this valuable? |

"Hmm... Strange how this problem is happening..WOW. I didn't notice he said that. Thanks for bringing that out. And, I suggest they bring the old Wetpaint search back. It was way more accurate, and easier to use. Do you find this valuable? |
