  Hey Everyone,

  I moved from xanga to wordpress and have been very happy except I got a lot more traffic from google searches when I used xanga. How can I get my blog to show up more on searches when they search for things I’ve used as tags in my posts?

  I did some searches on google today using tags from my most recent posts and never saw my blog come up as a search result. It used to all the time on xanga. Any tips??

  Thanks! Just want to get more exposure

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

  You’ve only been blogging here since the March, and anytime you switch systems (and URL’s) it takes six months to a year to regain your page rank – sometimes longer. That is simply the reality of search engines and page rank.

  Google does know about you. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=site:http://therealmimi.wordpress.com/&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

  Keep blogging, comment on other sites that you find interesting, link your username to your blog so that when you comment it will link to your blog URL (see the 8 things… sticky post at the top of the main forum page, #2). Page rank will come, it will just take some time to rebuild.
