How Do I Get My Postings In wordpress.com reader?

  • I moved my blog from wordpress.com to www.ads-software.com/self-hosting for various reasons. It has occurred to me, just now, that the reason for the extreme decrease in not only new followers but traffic is because I am not in the wordpress.com reader. My question is real simple: how do I get every future post in the wordpress.com reader just like it was when wordpress.com was my host? Am I going to have to post the same post on both the self hosted site and the wordpress.com site just to get new eyes on it? That is my main goal: to get new eyes on my posts. Thank you so much and have a great day! -HM

    If you still have WordPress.com followers, your posts will appear for only them in the WordPress.com Reader, assuming you now use Jetpack to manage your subscriptions and transferred them following this guide: https://jetpack.com/support/subscription-migration-tool/

    The rest of the WordPress.com Reader though, the Discover and Tag listings, is reserved only for WordPress.com sites.

    I don’t recommend duplicating postings between both sites, as both sites will be severely penalized by search engines for duplicate content.

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and www.ads-software.com are two different entities: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com

    Thank you for responding. I’ve read several of your responses and find you very knowledgeable so thank you.
    Wow….I really backed myself into a corner with regards to gaining new followers didn’t I?

    Ok, how about this route: I post new, different content on wordpress.com to still have a presence at WP.com. Question though: why would this new content I just referred to, not show up in Reader for users that aren’t followers yet? I will check out those other links here in a few. Thank you! -HM

    It might take some time for new content to appear in the WordPress.com Reader, but you’ll need to check with the folks at WordPress.com about that: https://support.wordpress.com/

    I don’t understand your response.

    You asked “why would this new [WordPress.com] content I just referred to, not show up in Reader for users that aren’t followers yet?”

    My answer was that it might take time for new WordPress.com content to appear in the WordPress.com Reader, but you will need to contact the people from WordPress.com for specifics: https://support.wordpress.com/

    Again, WordPress.com and www.ads-software.com are two different entities: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com
