My new post is invisible

    I can`t find it in any of the relevant topics. Published some 15 min ago.

    This is the post: http://aditix.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/good-night-aquarium/

    What is the reason for this?

    greetings
    A.

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

    For one thing, you’ve got too many tags.

    The more tags you use, the less likely it is that your post will be selected for inclusion in the global tag listings.

    ( From http://en.support.wordpress.com/global-tags/ )

    Some of your tags aren’t really relevant to your post. Some aren’t relevant to anything (you think that anyone would look for topics such “other”, “place” or “size”?). Some are unnecessary duplicates: categories and tags are exactly the same thing as far as the global tag pages are concerned, so there’s no point adding a word or a phrase as a tag if you’ve got it as a category.

    Does this mean that the post cat be found in searches because there are too many tags?
    In this case, are there any clear rules about it? I mean, how many tags will make the post disappear from searches?

    As for the relevance, I see all the tags and categories I`ve used as relevant. For example “other” means the subject is not mainstream like music, fashon, etc, but something else.
    Besides, I found those tags like “other” among “popular tags” here, on wordpress.

    The more tags you use, and the less relevant they are to the actual content of a post, the higher the chances you’ll be considered a tag spammer.

    No, there’s no clear rule.

    Ok, thanks for the answer and the included link. It was helpful.

    Can I do something to make this post visible in the relevant topics?
    Would it help to delete some of the tags or delete the post and repost it with fewer tags?

    A silly question!
    How to have your post on freshly pressed?

    @hnsaifi, don’t take over another user’s thread with an unrelated question. Start your own thread, or better yet, do a forum search first. Lots of previous threads on that topic.

    Thanks
    I’ve read everything about it (including 5 points).
    Sorry aditix.

    It did help to delete some of the tags – I could then find my post in the Aquarium topic.
    Thank you.

    P.S. No problem hnsaifi :-)
