  Ok, I am back with some good news.

  I’ve been able to locate both Part 1 and Part 2 of your Sepsis Survival series in my Reader.

  When I search for your site title, “Beauty and the Burp”, they are the first two results. When I search for the tag, “Sepsis” they aren’t found on the first few pages of results. There are several reasons that can be affecting that result. Lastly, when I searched for the tag, “sepsis survival”, your Part 1 post is the top result. Yay.

  When using Reader you can also toggle between “date published” and “relevance” when looking for things.

  In this case, I think your posts are a bit burried given all the “sepsis” talk in the news right now. There are thousands of posts in Reader with that tag.

  Trying out some more unique tags in addition to broad ones could help your discoverability. There are also tips on increasing your blog traffic in this guide which will help your Reader search results: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  Some tags that might help your discoverability would be “antibiotic reaction” or “allergic reaction” in addition to “antibiotics”. Try using “sepsis survival” in addition to “sepsis”. Things like that.

  I hope that helps. Get back to me here with any other questions.
