  • Not every blog employs tagging, nor would I say that it’s absolutely required, but understanding how tags work and what they can do for you is certainly knowledge that every blogger should possess.
  • a tag is a keyword that you create that serves as an identifier or link for the purposes of searching and/or filtering. By strategically tagging your posts, you provide visitors yet another way to filter through your entries without creating 100’s of categories
  • If you blog regularly about mobile devices in education, by adding those tags along with your name and your blog name to your posts you create ways for you to be associated with those topics in searches.

  • Another purpose for tagging is to add in the keywords that you may not have mentioned in your post.
  • it has become common practice for people to use unique tags to track posts revolving around an event or topic.
  • So long as everybody that posts about that conference includes that tag, then sites like Hitchhikr will be able to aggregate them together.
  • So what’s the challenge? Simply this, KNOW thy tagging system.
  • Do you tag your posts? How do you decide what tags to use? Have you ever found particular benefit to tagging, or is it just a habit at this point? When you visit somebody’s blog and want to explore, do you head off to the categories or the tags first?
  • the tag cloud on the sidebar of my blog is not only a place or visitors, but a vehicle for finding my OWN posts when trying to find one from a remote location in a hurry.
  • Tags and categories on blogs are about making it easier to find posts on your site plus also give the reader an indication of what you write about. Provided your tagging is good your reader can locate the most appropriate information better than using the search widget.
