PSA: tumblr is blocking ‘promo’ from tags & search results
What this means for the indie rpc —
If you use the word promo in your tags (as many people do, simply as just ‘promo’, ‘self promo’, ‘dual promo’, ‘joint promo’, etc), your post will not show up in any search or tag tracking results.
One potential workaround that is currently functional (at least until tumblr changes it again), is to add punctuation to the word promo - a period at the end seems to be a popular solution (ie ‘promo.’, ‘self promo.’, etc.).
The big thing to remember is that even including the word promo in your tags without adding anything to disrupt tumblr’s filtering system, your post will not show up in any other tags either.
So please, update your tags to help promote your own blogs and those of your friends, as otherwise blogs are going to have an even more difficult time finding one another the more tags that tumblr blocks.
