Yeah, and I was wondering why one of my blogs didn't get any love from google.

btw. Now I'm checking some order blogs (with 2.8+ installations) and the settings seem fine. Weird weird ..

I do most of the installs via cpanel (fantastico). But yeah, I remember they do that if you do a normal install

Someone is going to use that line in a testimonial about their SEO skills for sure.

**brassmonkey** · 11-08-2009, 06:08 AM

**bad_influence** · 11-08-2009, 09:36 AM

I found a couple of my newest blogs were set for privacy.
Thanks for the heads up.

**Agent 488** · 11-08-2009, 09:41 AM

huh? doesn't it ask during the install whether you want to be indexed by search engines.

**CaptainHowdy** · 11-08-2009, 09:44 AM

A r g h !

**wizzart** · 11-08-2009, 09:49 AM

Yes it does.

**fatfoo** · 11-08-2009, 10:44 AM

Yeah, you need traffic from search engines. Make sure you don't block that.

**Brujah** · 11-08-2009, 11:49 AM

what are search engines?

**alias** · 11-08-2009, 11:49 AM

Oh fuck, thanks. Just set up 30 domains and forgot about this!

**alias** · 11-08-2009, 11:55 AM

Looks like they fixed this in 2.85, asks during install according to the person who installed them.

**M0nk** · 11-08-2009, 01:42 PM

you should check that one as soon as you make your site!

**TeenSluts** · 11-08-2009, 01:43 PM

just found this shit out yesterday.. glad I did!

**Phallus Fondue** · 11-08-2009, 03:01 PM

Damn you and damn them for fixing this.

Next time when you find a simple check box that eliminates a huge chunk of your competitors from the best traffic available, do not fucking mention it.
