How come my post doesn't show in results when I search for the tags I entered ?

    I just posted an article but it doesn’t show in the results when I search for the tags I entered. Which means no traffic and no likes. How can I change that ? What is wrong with my post “OUTFIT // sun is out” ?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The answer to your question is found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts

    Aha! As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.

    You are are inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming, you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on the WordPress.com Topics pages because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for that.

    The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.

    Seriously, tag pages are not actually good for hits or likes.
