Post visibility on WordPress.com search reader

    hi

    i signed on yesterday for paid version of jetpack and with delight saw that my post is now visible on the search reader on wordpress.com (i.e. to the general public via search reader; i am not talking about the readers of followers).

    since then i’ve tried to experiment with tags and categories while using them as search terms. entering tags and using them as search terms in the reader do not seem to make my post more visible. i.e. using the same words under ‘search’ that i put in on the post as tags, the post does not show at all at under the ‘date’ tab, under the time when it was published. it seems the only way to make my post visible at all is to use the exact same text as the title of my post. so unless a person searches with my exact post title as their search term, my posts will not be visible to them … is this correct?

    how does one optimise one’s post visibility from a self-hosted www.ads-software.com site with the paid jetpack subscription?

    thank you.

    Hey there, @fritzloest!

    Thank you for reaching out to us about this, and for purchasing a Jetpack plan. You haven’t specified a site, so I am assuming you’re referring to the one in your profile:

    – https://sacredriver.co.za/

    There are a few reasons why a site’s tags might not appear in the WordPress.com Reader, and we detail them here:

    – https://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts

    Specifically, for your site:

    Your blog is very new. It can take a few days before new blogs are included on tag pages. Brand new blogs might not have enough posts for us to accurately determine whether or not they’re spam.

    As you continue to publish new posts, Reader will have a better understanding of your site’s content, and you should start appearing in relevant pages. We want to make sure that we match your site with readers who are interested in its content.

    One last thing – your paid Jetpack plan includes priority access to our support team. We often reply within an hour, if you contact us via this contact form.

    Please let us know if we can help with anything else! ??

    hi there, mark ..

    thank you for your detailed answer – very much appreciated! i’ll enter into the process then and see where it leads!

    one last question, if i may? is there any difference in the visibility of posts on the wordpress.com reader between 1) those posted on a self-hosted www.ads-software.com site linked via paid jetpack subscription, and 2) a wordpress.com blog-post?

    thank you.
