  I’ve just started my blog and now, by default, tags are linking wordpress.com instead of my domain.

  I mean, now they link:

  http://es.wordpress.com/tag/adidas/

  instead of what I want, that is:

  http://realmadridblog.com/tag/adidas/

  How can I change it? Thank you so much.

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

  Tags and categories listed below (or above in some themes) are links to the global tags on wordpress. You can find other blogs on the same topics. Potential readers interested in your topics can find your blog as well.

  The category widget, category cloud and tag cloud in your sidebar link to posts on your own blog.

  Global Tags

  You can change it by marking your blog as mature. Your blog will not be included in the global tags. Or you can make your blog private.

  Thanks for your help, but I´m looking for a way to show my own-domain tags at the end of eachh posts (just like now appear the global tags) and not only in the sidebar’s cloud.

  Yes, I understand.
  To make the tags local only, you can do one of the below:

  1. Mark you blog mature. It won’t be included in the wordpress global tags. I believe your blog will still be indexed by Google and other search engines.

  2. Mark your blog (settings > privacy) with either:
  “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors”
  or
  “I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose”

  I don´t want to block neither search engines nor any visitor (I want as many people as possible to read the blog), so I think my option is 1.

  However, you don’t seem to be very sure about muy blog being indexed by Google. Do you reaaly think there will be no problem with that?

  Thanks again.

  Also, type

  I have no experience with mature blogs.

  But there have been several volunteers here in the forums who have mature blogs. According to them, they have many readers who find them through search engines.

  The mature rating only applies to the global tags pages. It does not in anyway effect your search engine rankings or indexing.
