    I was just searching for tags in WordPress Reader and I noticed that my own site is not found when I search for tags that I routinely use with my posts. Why would this be?

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi @primepassages,

    This is dependent on the tags that you are using, which can vary from generic to specific, and other reasons as outlined here: https://wordpress.com/support/topics/#missing-posts

    That is the guidance I already reviewed. My tagging practices and the tags I use fully conform to all of this guidance as far as I can tell. The only one that isn’t clear is the “mature rating” thing. I can’t imagine why I would get rated that way, but according to the guidance the only way to find out is to ask Worpress to review it and I can’t find anything that tells me how to make that direct request.

    I’m also trying to figure out why my site doesn’t show up when doing a general search in WP Reader with the search term “beer hiking” — my site is the #1 return when I do the same search in Google, but doesn’t show up when doing the same search in WP Reader. Maybe it is the same cause?

    Thanks for the additional details. If this is for primepassages.com, the site is not hosted here at WordPress.com but is hosted elsewhere and using the Jetpack plugin to connect your site to your WordPress.com account

    From the Jetpack Reader support document, it states that:

    Your posts will only appear on Tag pages if you have a paid Jetpack plan that includes the backup feature.

    If your Jetpack plan doesn’t include backups, your posts will not be displayed on Tag pages in the Reader.

    Since your site doesn’t have a paid Jetpack upgrade, your site would not show in tag result pages.

    I hope that clarifies things!
