There seems to be a prevalent misconception that the global tag pages and wordpress.ocm search results result in a flow of traffic to blogs. It's actaully search engines that send significant traffic to blogs.

re: global tags
It's my experience that unless one blogs on the featured topics on the most popular tag pages like these ones below there is no significant flow of traffic from global tags pages or from WordPress.com search

I entered in various different terms to bring up my blog. SEO which I use on my blog on a regular basis, example: Sardinia, Sardegna, My Sardinian Life, La Mia Vita Sarda ... etc. But my blog did not come up, not once. Not even on the first, second, third pages, nope nothing.

Why?

I have plenty of content, all tagged. Why would this be?

Thanking you in advance.

You can turn the WHOLE thing off, but you cannot turn off just the global WP links.

If you want to remove the related posts from your blog entirely, just go to Design > Extras and check the box to do so. But if you remove related posts from your blog we’ll remove you from other people’s blogs, so you won’t get traffic from that.

There are no immediate plans to index comments but we'll consider it once post searching is stable.

I'd mentioned to a friend, almost in passing, a unique blog I read last year and, of course, she wanted the url. I knew it was here, entered the town involved and the subject. Bingo.

Amusing. It's a pretty good search, but I'm guessing that it doesn't include comments? I typed "AA GILL ALBANIA" in and got nothing, despite the fact that my thread on AA Gill which has over 100 comments has a LOT about Albania in it, all in the comments section.

http://en.search.wordpress.com/

Let us know how useful it is. It's a dedicated search engine built by people who specialize in that. The forum search is not in the same league.

What do you want to bet that the search function turns out to be precisely as useless as the forum search is right now? Either that or the search function's loss of functionality is somehow related to implementing this search across WP.com. Dear god, if forum threads turn up in "Related" I'm going to smash this damn computer right through the bars on the window and the orderlies won't like that.

DEAR GOD please let those be LOCAL. I do not want the links to pimp out other people's blogs. I'm a Socialist, sure, but even we have our limits.

Still, not putting money either way at this point. I'd say it's 50/50.

Quoting: WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg announces two new features coming to WordPress.com (the company’s hosted blogging platform) this week: search and related items. While Mullenweg is sparse on details, he says of the new features (at approx. 32:10) “you have to analyze the text and find the most relevant things … across more than 4 million posts per month.“

=============

I love the idea of being able to search across all WP.com blogs. That would be great and lead me to blogs I haven't encountered before.

I'm not so sure about this Related Posts stuff. I hope it's optional. I have a nightmarish vision of some damned popup occurring when someone is reading one of my posts. Something like that awful Snap! popup.
