Post Not Getting Indexed for Global Tag Search
-
raincoaster, I learned about how WordPress.com works from those questions, and I appreciate the answers I received. I have enough information now to actually author content.
None of that is documentation about what tags are acceptable on WordPress.com. And nothing I said here was an attempt to re-engineer anything. I point out that the post did well on Tumblr because people were exposed to the content using keywords that were relevant to the content. If WordPress hides the content using relevant keywords, it isn’t using the power of its own keyword index. If that is the way it works, that is the way it works.

If this is a post you deliberately duplicated across domains then Google has already got your number. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en

If you blog on Tumblr multiply your point times 100, because the way that Tumblr implements “reblogging” is by copying content from my blog into other peoples’ blog. So Google is probably thinking that no one owns this content, and it is being syndicated across 100 blogs that reblogged you.
I’m trying to migrate a blog which is a hobby, as time allows. It’s not a business, and it will never make money for me. I guess the fact is most hobbyists simply don’t care, do most of it wrong, and no one ever bothers to correct them. I get a lot of flack here for simply trying to understand how things work.

In a recent video Matt Cutts answers, “How does required duplicate content (terms and conditions, etc.) affect search?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi-wkEeOKxM
Long story short Matt Cutts says states if the duplicate is legal boilerplate such as Terms & Conditions and other policies which are legally required – don
t worry about it. But if its spammy content duplicated content featuring keyword stuffing, etc. then that`s a different story.I am a researcher and I use multiple search engines for my work. Some are highly specialized. Obviously, Google and any other search engine for that matter doesn’t want to show the same content to searchers for the same query. That would be a bad user experience for sure and I`ve spent 8 years reporting every bad search experience I have had to Google and other search engines along with many other researchers.
Duplicate content issues rarely result in a penalty. However, the results do have mega impact because the ability to detect duplication along with the ability to detect which site was the original site of publication means Google knows exactly which page they should rank and which page they should not rank.

Timethief, don’t forget that what you say about duplication also affects how WordPress reblogs content. WordPress also copies over word for word the original post, raising all those same issues.
In a perfect world, I would write content on WordPress, and my Tumblr post would just be an image of the text that points back to the original blogs. That’s similar to the model Pinterest is using. Unfortunately doing that manually would be time consuming, and no one automates reblogging that way. It’s an imperfect world, and one can only spend so much time on these things.

Timethief, to your point about the content should contain the tags that you use, what would be your recommendation about someone who wants to show up in a search for “taylorswift13”.
It’s not a natural thing at all to put her Twitter userid in the text of a post that talks about her. If you include taylorswift13 in your text, then someone accuses you of spamming keywords in your text.
If you don’t include that text in the post, then you are telling me the search engines think you are spamming keywords in your tags because the tag wasn’t in your post.
It really is a mystery to me how you make everyone happy here.

Timethief, don’t forget that what you say about duplication also affects how WordPress reblogs content. WordPress also copies over word for word the original post, raising all those same issues.
Not correct, Reblog is limited to about 55 words and one image. The entire Post is not copied, the content is clearly identified as coming from another source and a link back to the original Post is present and a person needs to visit the original blog to read the entire Post.
The only time a Reblog has the entire Post is when the original Post is very short.
Reblog works like an extended headline, Reblog is not universally liked here,

I had heard elsewhere (maybe also wrong) that reblog on WordPress copies everything unless you select the option to only copy over part of the post. I think it was you who told me about this auxclass:
Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading >> For each article in a feed, show >> SummaryAnd yes I read about the very bad exchanges between bloggers and WordPress regarding reblogging. I’m not taking sides on it except to say that reblogging makes it very confusing for a search engine to tell which content is authoritative. I worry about content that originates on a site with Google Pagerank = 0 and gets reblogged by people who have Google Pagerank = 4 (for example).

Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading >> For each article in a feed, show >> Summary
That is for the RSS feed, not the Reblog feature
I have done I think three reblogs, other than those three Posts, my content is all original.
I do have a site that does the equivalent of a Reblog when I do new material, they do have permission (but they stay way inside the fair use clause) – and I get a nice boost in traffic from them.

You know, Tumblr bozos you and you only show on the first five tag pages, regardless of how it appears to you.

Sorry raincoaster, none of that made any sense. I don’t know what point you were even trying to make.

It would help you used complete sentences that had a subject, verb, and object. “Tumblr bozos you and you only show on the first five tag pages” is not a sentence. I cannot agree or disagree with the point because it isn’t a thought.
