Posts/images don't show up in search engines after a while. (4 posts)

    Hi,

    I've just discovered something I'm not very happy about. My blog is running since this summer and after a while, posts I made showed up in google if I used the tags I added. Some even at the top pages, which I liked. But now, my posts and especially the images seem to be vanished in the search engines. I do find images I posted at sites nobody even watches, but the one's on WordPress don't show anymore. I'm very disappointed about that. For instance, I made a post about a crochet Bomberman I made. A thing not many people have made and wrote about it. First when I typed 'crochet bomberman', one of the first hits was my post, but not anymmore, now it's just not there. And not because a million other people's Bombermans show up. Can somebody explain to me how it works. Do post become less important after a while on wordpress? Do they only show up in the beginning? I expected that if you use the right tag, and it's a rather 'unique' one, it should be find no matter how long it's online.

    I haven't changed any settings on my wordpress blog and allow posts and images to be seen public.

    I hope some one can help me out, thanks! Sonja.

    No but Google will favour new content or content that has plenty of backlinks (ie sites linking to your post).

    Ok, thanks, plenty of backlinks I don't have, should work on that.

    There is one thing I forgot to mention. What is really weird, is when I type the tag I used for a certain post/image in google (image search), he can't find that right one, but some other images I've posted on my blog with half a different tag do show up. Why can google find them but not the right one? Some are newer but not all of them. Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I'm tagging and adding images.

    This is my blog: sonspopkes.wordpress.com/

    Hope to hear!
