3 quick questions regarding categories and tags on the blog http://scienceguy288.wordpress.com
I know, I was a tag spammer. I did not realize the error of my ways until reading up on it. However, I have repented and in my latest posts just used a few tags (between 9 and 12) and only one category. Now, I just have three questions about this.
1.) I have been a tag spammer for quite some time before coming back to the side of righteousness. Will my Global Tags be accepted from this point on or am I flagged and pretty much screwed?
2.) Is there any way to tell if my Global Tags appeared/were accepted or if they were rejected?
3.) Is there a benefit to using the same word for a tag and a category, or will it effectively work in the same way?
Thanks for the help.
