Why doesn't my blog show up in Topics?
-
I switched my blog over to WordPress a few weeks ago and add both a tag and category of ‘fashion’ to my new posts, but I haven’t yet had a post show up in Topics. My blog isn’t set to private or hidden, and I only add 1-4 tags per post. Has my blog been flagged? What can I do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Duplicating the same word or phrase in a category and a tag makes no sense as search engines treat them the same way.

All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
Do any of those reasons for non-appearance apply to any of your posts? If none apply to none of your posts then go to the sidebar of this thread and type modlook for Staff attention into the tags. Then wait patiently for Staff to assist you.

Should it be tagged or categorized as ‘fashion’ to show up in the fashion Topics page? And no, as far as I know, none of those reasons for non-appearance apply, unless I’ve been flagged unknowingly. I’ll do the modlook thing then. Thanks!

It’s either Fashion as a category or Fashion as a Tag. If you use both then search engines consider that to be tag spamming AKA spamdexing.

Oh yikes. I originally had it just as a category and noticed my posts weren’t showing up in Topics, so then I tried it as a tag to see if it made a difference. I’ve now deleted it as a tag, but imagine that won’t work to make already published posts appear in Topics.
