Sure, tagging is easy to forget about but sometimes they do help. I would make sure that my tags were very specific and related directly to the post and not used just to get attention.I’d also check whether the posts are using the right tags for the content. If the tags don’t match the post properly, that could affect where the content shows up.
Yeah, I guess Tumblr gives those accounts with good behavior before they grant them full access to tags. A little consistency and some genuine likes and reblogs in the first week or two will get you further than just links.new tumblr accounts get held back from tag search for a bit as a spam prevention measure warming up usually means posting consistently for a week or two
following blogs in the niche, liking and reblogging content regularly before tag visibility kicks in properly.
How do you warm up your tumblr account so that your posts will start appearing in tags cause right now posts from new account don't appear on tag pages
