my tags arent showing up on search/not working

    My tags aren;t showing up. For my first few posts, if I searched up one of my tags after posting e.g. passion, I would see my post come up. However for my most recent post ‘Her’ none of these tags showed up upon searching, and as such I have garnered next to no traffic and got no likes on this post, where on my poem posts I got likes as they showed up on tag searches.
    Please could you resolve this for me as I loved the feedback my poems were getting?

    The combined total of categories https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and tags on any post must not exceed 15 or it will not display on Categories and Tags pages and in the Reader. All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
    See:

    This what you assigned to s single post:

    art beautiful beauty blog boy cool creative drugs expression first girl girls her love lust passion sex sexy woman young

    20 irrelevant assignments and that amount to spamming ie. tag spamming.

    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 inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming. And, 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.
