  Read this please > global tags > missing posts

  The HUGE block of irrelevant tags assigned to your latest postcontains more words than the post itself contains!

  The rule of thumb for assigning categories and tags to posts are:
  1. less is more
  2. use the minimum combined number of categories and tags (5 – 10) that accurately reflect post content.

  What you have done is referred to as tag spamming AKA as spamdexing. If you keep that up Google will send your posts to the back pages of the supplementary index where the sun don’t shine. BTW it’s Google that sends significant traffic to blogs. The WordPress.com global tags pages flow of traffic to blogs is negligible.

  Thanks a lot for your advise. I thought the more I tag the more traffic I will get. It was kind of an experiment. But you are right its more like spamming. I will remove the unnecessary tags asap. Thanks a lot again for the help
