Hi I published this post today, Everlasting Ordinary Photographs tagging, “Photography”. And I hoped it to went there http://en.wordpress.com/tag/photography/ But it’s not there. I tagged only three tags. Is there any standard for posts to show there?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Really? As you knew that when you created this forum thread it does appear the motivation behind posting this thread was to link drop to your post.

Sorry I’m telling you I spent hours to find it from pages to pages but didn’t find it. I thought there to be a criteria or standard to get my post to global tags. Who will go though that substandard post which is not posted even in the global tags when people are looking for just help?
I’m sad as I did spend hours on that post and I thought that to be a great and my best post. My last 3 threads were not resolved there in the staff question forums. So I didn’t want to post another one and I knew they are never going to do anything about this one too. That’s why I did mark it resolved with frustration.How can you move a question to showcase forum? If you think it’s for blog promotion, then you can remove the link from here. But how ridiculous it would be if I had not posted the link and said, “A post of mine is not posted somewhere”

Photography is one of the most popular tags on WordPress.com. With hundreds of thousands of posts marked with this tag, if you didn’t see it immediately after posting it, you have to move faster. Right now, this moment, it’s on page 36 of the photography tags.
Oops, already moved to page 38.

Great Jennifer! :) Hooray. I clicked pages and pages even more than 20 pages (or more) and when I didn’t find it I asked it here. Now I realized so many posts with the same tag are posted daily. But who will click it till page 40 to see my post there? Aah it’s useless :(
BTW how did you find it?

The posts on the global tags pages are all entered in order of original datestamps and timestamps in the URLs. Editing the date and timestamp does not work as it’s only the original date and timestamp that are recognized by the software.

My post was hours old not days to change the date. And in a few hours it moved to page 39 now. Do anyone get a single person referred from global tags ever? And Can one post be in more than one tag page?

@hnsaifi-Yes, I get several visitors, likes and/or comments on my mobile photography blog within minutes of my posting something there. A few visitors have even become subscribers.
As I said before, photography is one of the most popular tags on WordPress.com. (Seems to be an echo here.) According to the Topics tab on the WordPress.com front page, there have been over 11,000 recent posts using this tag.

It takes only minutes for glably tags pages for the most popular tags to fill up. That’s because there are millions of us posting 24 hours daily all around the globe.
Do anyone get a single person referred from global tags ever?
The traffic my blogs receive from the global tag pages is so very low it’s practically non-existant. You have also read previously in other threads what raincoaster and I have said on this subject.
And Can one post be in more than one tag page?
Yes. Please read the global tags section again. If you use up to a combined number of categories and/or tags that does not exeed 10 on any post, then the posts appear on all the Categories and Tags pages in accord with the Categories and Tags you assigned to the post.

Thanks Timethief and Jennifer.
One more question: Are 10 tags fair to be tagged when suitable? I’ve also heard about tagging for search engines is not fair. like these guys doing here,Freshly pressed -

Can anyone please help me understand how to go back into an old post and insert a tag? I have followd the help solution and set up 5 tags that will probably do for my whole blog, but none of them have actually been applied to my posts.

To add a tag to an already published post you go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the post title and click Edit or Quick Edit. If you opt for Edit and you don’t see the Tags and the Categories modules on the editor screen, click Screen Options (top right) to activate them.
You’d better add categories instead of tags: for the global WP pages, tags and categories are exactly the same thing, but
a) for the organization of your blog, categories are a more reasonable choice,
b) filing each post under an appropriate category will allow you to get rid of the meaningless and useless “Uncategorized” category,
c) search engines pay some attention to categories but practically no attention to tags.
