    All WORDPRESS blog owners check your privacy settings

    So I was checking some settings on my blogs today (wordpress 2.8.4+) and found out that in the SETTINGS -> PRIVACY the default is set to:

    "I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors"

    WTF? I'm pretty sure this blocks google and other spiders to index my blog. (no traffic from search engines)

        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.

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

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

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

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

                                                    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.
